• Bajaj Platina 100 KS launched at Rs 51,667

• Acts as the entry model in the Platina 100 range

• Continues to be available only as a drum brake model

The company hasn’t added the new variant of the motorcycle on their website yet. At present, the company only has electric-start variants of the Platina 100, available with a drum and disc option, priced at Rs 59,904 and Rs 62,125, respectively. The competitive pricing brings it closer to Bajaj’s most affordable bike – the CT100 – which costs Rs 46,432.

Powering the commuter is a 102cc, two-valve, single-cylinder engine that makes 7.9hp at 7,500rpm and 8.3Nm of torque at 5,500rpm. This engine comes paired to a 4-speed (all-down) gearbox. Brakes remain drum units at both ends. 

The 2020 Bajaj Platina 100 KS is available in two colours – Ebony Black with silver decals, and Cocktail Wine Red - just like the older model.
