- Bajaj managed to sell 52,489 units of the Platina last month alone.
- It sold 40,074 units in the same month last year.
- This comes amidst the slowdown in the two-wheeler industry.
Bajaj Auto seems to be unhindered by the slowdown in the Indian two-wheeler industry while others have been struggling to keep their heads above water. Part of the reason behind the current slowdown is due to the uncertainty regarding vehicles that still comply with BS4 emission norms while the government is set to introduce a whole new standard in April next year. However, Bajaj’s strong sales in various international markets as well as thoughtful changes to its lineup appear to be working in its favour. Take the Platina for example. The bike’s been performing quite well for the brand. Yet, Bajaj decided to update it to make it an even better product than before.

What’s likely to have worked for the company is the addition of the Platina 110 H-Gear. This variant gets some segment-first features for a minor price bump of around Rs 4,600 over the outgoing disc variant. To delve into details, the bike gets a 115cc engine with a 5-speed transmission, the largest disc front disc brake in the segment, a semi-digital instrument console and a quilt pattern seat which gives it a premium feel. The H-gear also comes with a revised set of graphics to keep it looking fresh.

That aside, the bike’s party piece has to be its unique ‘Gear-Shift-Guide’. It’s essentially a gear assist indicator which not only displays the gear you’re in, but also prompts you to upshift or downshift to eke out better fuel efficiency.
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
