Bajaj Auto launches its most fuel efficient bike yet — the Bajaj Platina ES

Bajaj Auto has launched the new Platina ES — claimed to be the world’s most fuel efficient bike. The 100cc bike delivers an ARAI certified 96.9kmpl which claims to surpass any other production bike in the 95–100cc category, both sold in India and abroad. This is made possible through an entirely new platform developed with a new DTS-i powered engine, which delivers in terms of improved performance with more focus on efficiency.

This claim comes through a global study on mileage across more than 50 major countries and more than 500 motorcycle models, and was conducted by Bajaj Auto.

Other than the phenomenal mileage delivered, the new Platina ES gets a long travel telescopic front suspension and SNS (double spring) rear suspension. A long wheelbase and wider rear tyres offer improved grip on bad roads as well. It also offers the longest seat in the segment.

The Platina ES also gets refreshed styling and electric start. On offer are new side panels, new exhaust, refreshed headlamp design and alloy wheels as standard.

The Bajaj Platina is priced at Rs 45,431 (ex-showroom Mumbai) and is available in ebony black, electron blue and candy red colours.
