The motorcycle continues to get the 5-speed gearbox, which is unique in the 110 cc motorcycle segment. There is a link type gear-shifter and the all-down gear-shift pattern is similar to any of the 100 - 110 cc bikes with a 4-speed gearbox. Bajaj says that the 'H' in H Gear stands for 'Happy' and 'Highway'. Bajaj says that the 5th gear not only improves the performance but the efficiency as well. Yes, the Platina H Gear has a claimed fuel efficiency of 84 kmpl. The Platina 110 H Gear has a 240 mm disc up front along with Bajaj's anti-skid braking system. Apart from the BS6 engine, there is practically no change on the motorcycle.
The frame too remains the same along with the suspension. The Platina always had the best-in-class suspension travel with 135 mm up front and 110 mm at the rear, giving it a comfortable ride quality. The Bajaj Platina 110 H Gear takes on rivals such as the Hero Splendor which is the best-selling model in the segment and the TVS Star City range as well.
