Bajaj Auto has launched the Platina 110 H-Gear in the country. The new 110cc motorcycle is priced at Rs 53,376 for the drum brake variant and Rs 55,373 for the disc brake-equipped version (both, ex-showroom Delhi). Bajaj offers a 5-speed transmission in the new bike, which makes it the only bike in its segment to get the feature. Like other commuter motorcycles, the gear shift pattern is all down, and the engine continues to be an 115cc unit.
It generates 8.6PS at 7000rpm and 9.81Nm at 5000rpm. The addition of the fifth gear should improve the motorcycle’s highway efficiency. The highlight of the new Bajaj Platina H-Gear is the inclusion of a shift prompter which Bajaj calls it the ‘Gear-Shift-Guide’. This feature lets the rider know when it is time to upshift or downshift and avoid engine lugging. Other notable features include a semi-digital instrument cluster with a gear position indicator (a segment first), a clock and other run-of-the-mill information.
The new bike’s underpinnings have been carried over from the earlier model. It comes with the same telescopic front fork and rear twin spring-over-spring Nitrox shock absorbers as before. Brakes include drum units on both ends with combined braking system as standard. A 240mm front disc brake is available as an option and is Rs 1,997 more expensive than the drum brake-equipped variant. This is the first model under the Platina family to get an optional disc brake. The motorcycle rolls on alloy wheels wrapped with Ceat tyres.

The design language of the Platina H Gear is more or less similar to its predecessor but the graphics has received a subtle revision. The aforementioned updates have resulted in a price hike of Rs 2,624 over the previous-gen Platina 110.
In its segment, the Platina 110 H Gear competes against the TVS Star City Plus (Rs 52,417), Honda Dream Yuga (Rs 55,233), Hero Splendor iSmart Plus IBS 110 (Rs 56,280). All prices ex-showroom Delhi.
Bajaj Platina 110 H Gear User Reviews
- Best combo with more features and good mileageHello, my name is Vinod, and I'm from Lucknow. I wanted a budget bike with excellent mileage that would be affordable for my budget, as well as comfortable for long commutes, since I am a frequent traveler. The Platina 110 H-Gear came across as a great option, offering highway gear and disc brake safety. I compared Hero Splendor, Shine, and Platina, but Bajaj offered more features in the same price range. First of all, handling is very smooth and perfect for a rider like me, a very smooth ride, and the suspension absorbs potholes well. Mileage is consistently 70–75 kmpl, which is impossible to get in other bike. I was not aware of H Gear. On highways, the H-Gear makes cruising at 60–70 kmph easy. After-sales service is affordable, and parts are widely available, but I haven't come to the point where I need to find parts. Yes, for office workers, delivery boys, or anyone who needs a daily reliable commuter. Not for youngsters who want sporty performance or high-speed thrills. If you want to save fuel and have a low budget for a bike, believe me, this is the best thing you can spend money on.Read More1
- Worst mileage.I specially bought Platina 110 disc BS6 model in hope of better mileage. At first the mileage I got was around 65 - 70 KMPL but later on gradually it decreased. Now it is giving me a mileage of 42 - 45 and it's pickup is disaster. While it's maintenance cost is really low and style is good as compared to other Platina models but I really feel that I have been cheated on buying this bike. I recommend others also not to prefer buying Platina 110 but discretion is advised. This is my personal opinion and I do not force anyone not to buy this Bike.Read More5 2

After that, the gear got stuck while moving, and the biggest thing was its engine got damaged. Now nothing can happen. I am really upset, even after taking a new bike, this is the request to all of you, do not take any Bajaj bike or else you will also get upset like this.Read More8 3
