The introduction of a new kick start variant has drastically reduced the starting price of the lineup
On its Pulsar range, Bajaj might get away with the sort of price hikes it has implemented recently, but the 100cc commuter segment is a far more price-sensitive affair. The Platina 100 is Bajaj’s ‘premium’ 100cc commuter, and to make it that much more accessible, the company has rolled out a new kick start (KS) variant. Doing away with an electric starter has allowed Bajaj to shave a good Rs 8,237 off the bike’s price, meaning the KS variant sells for just Rs 51,667 (ex-showroom), making it the entry-level offering in the Platina range.
