Q.Bajaj Platina Comfortec Launched

Bajaj has launched the 'Comfortec' variant of Platina at INR 42,541 ex-showroom, Delhi for the base variant. The USP of Platina Comfortec is that it offers more comfortable riding experience. This has been achieved by the use of telescopic front forks that is 28% longer than the stock unit and the rear double-spring suspension offers 22% more travel. The seat is cushioned in such a way to give a spring-like effect and hence it is called 'spring-soft seat'. The foot-pegs have also been redesigned in the form of 'foot-pads' which offers more surface area to rest your foot and is also rubberized for optimal grip. The combination of all these features has resulted in 20% less jerks while riding on the "Indian" roads, claims Bajaj.

The service interval is only at every 5,000 km and the oil change interval is at a staggering 10,000 km! Talk about bullet-proof reliability! The claimed mileage is 104 kmpl. I think in the real-world, the mileage would be roughly around 70-75 kmpl at least. I think the launch of the Comfortec is a godsend for riders with back-aches/ sensitive backs. It is also ideal for people who are looking for a comfortable commuter.
