Bajaj Pulsar 125

The Bajaj Pulsar 125 family currently includes both the iconic Pulsar 125, which comes with the OG Pulsar design, and the Sporty Pulsar NS125. The Pulsar 125 is more of a commuter bike which many people in India still go for, thanks to the iconic design and legacy the bike brings to the table.

Bajaj Platina

The Bajaj Platina includes both the Platina 100 and the Platina 110. Both of these bikes feature the same, simple commuter design and graphics.

Both the bikes come with a similar suspension setup that comprises a telescopic fork and twin-rear spring-in-spring shock absorbers. The spring-in-spring shock absorbers offer better ride quality as it is able to handle both heavy loads and light loads, thus ensuring the bike is stable when riding both solo and with a pillion. 

What makes the Bajaj Platina 110 ABS variant stand out is that it is the only bike in the 110cc segment which offers a disc brake with ABS at front. This is a very nice addition and one that riders will really appreciate.
