New Bajaj Platina 100KS Launched, Priced At Rs 40,500 (Ex-showroom, Delhi)

Bajaj has launched the new Platina 100KS with CBS (Combined Braking System) in India. At a price of Rs 40,500 (ex-showroom Delhi), it undercuts the Platina 100ES (Electric Start) variant by Rs 6,905. While the latter benefits from both a kick starter and an electric starter, the former only gets a kick starter. Apart from the addition of CBS, the bike is identical to the Platina 100ES. It will be offered in two colours - black and red with silver decals.

Currently, the Bajaj Platina lineup comprises of the Platina Comfortec 100cc and 110cc models. The inclusion of a 100cc kick start variant (CBS) gives customers the liberty to choose from either of them depending on their budget. We had also spotted a Platina 125cc model testing?in Pune, which suggests that the brand has plans of further expanding the range. And considering the recent government safety norms, the Platina Comfortec 100ES alloy is also expected to come equipped with CBS pretty soon.

Here’s the official statement from the manufacturer.
