Bajaj Auto has launched the all-new Platina 110 with a class-leading ABS (Anti-lock Braking System). Priced at INR 65,920/-, the ABS braking technology provides for efficient braking that prevents skidding or loss of control in sudden-braking scenarios. The ABS comes mated to a 240 mm front disc brake- making the newly launched motorcycle a safe bet on the road. 

ABS involves an electronic controller that monitors the wheel speed under sudden or extreme braking, and through a feedback loop, releases and reapplies the brakes, faster than any human intervention can manage. In doing so, the system works to prevent ‘locking’ of the wheel, which otherwise may cause loss of control or skidding.

Along with ABS, the Platina comes equipped with a ComforTec package that includes quilted seats, a Nitrox spring-on-spring suspension as well as tubeless tyres to offer unparalleled comfort on the road.

Powering the Platina is a 115cc single-cylinder, fuel-injected engine that produces 8.6 PS at 7,000 RPM and 9.81 Nm of torque at 5,000 RPM. The commuter motorcycle gets new mirrors for improved visibility as well as hand-guards to offer extra protection while riding on varied surfaces.

The new Platina 110 ABS also carries over useful features such as  20 per cent longer front & rear Nitrox suspension that offers fewer jerks in potholes,long quilted seats that provide comfort for rider and pillion, LED Headlamp with integrated DRL that provides clear visibility and adds style and an ABS-indicating analogue speedometer

The two-wheeler will be available in colours – charcoal black, volcanic red & beach blue and is available across all Bajaj Auto dealerships in India.

The Platina 110 ABS follows the recent launch of the smaller capacity Platina 100, priced at around Rs. 10,000/- cheaper than its elder sibling.

Commenting on the launch, Sarang Kanade, President – Domestic Motorcycles Business Unit, Bajaj Auto Ltd said, “The new Platina 110 ABS offers unmatched safety by offering riders complete control over unforeseen braking scenarios. We hope that millions of Indians who ride across varying terrains & roads of the country would take cognizance of the need to keep themselves & their loved ones safe and upgrade to the best-in-segment braking technology. The brand Platina has an unmatched proposition of Comfort with over 7 million satisfied customers as a testament to its segment-leading attributes and now with the addition of ABS, it remains a generation ahead of its competitors.” (MT)

Chennai-headquartered two-wheeler and three-wheeler major TVS Motor Company has reported its strongest-ever quarterly sales performance in Q1 of FY2026, hitting a record 1.27 million units. This robust growth was underpinned by significant increases across both two-wheeler and three-wheeler segments, alongside a substantial boost in international business.

For June 2025, the company reported sales of 402,001 units, a 20 percent jump compared to 333,646 units sold in June 2024. Two-wheeler sales accounted for 385,698 units, up 20 percent YoY as compared to 322,168 units last year. Of this domestic market sales grew by 10 percent YoY at 281,012 units.

On the other hand, while demand for TVS iQube remains strong, the company reported sales of 14,400 units sold, a slight decrease from 15,859 units last year. This dip it attributed to the ongoing disruptions in the EV supply chain, particularly concerning the availability of magnets, which continues to pose short to medium-term challenges.

On the exports front, the company shipped 117,145 units last month, which was 54 percent higher as compared to 76,074 units in June 2024. Two-wheeler exports were particularly strong, growing by 58 percent to 104,686 units from 66,434 units in the previous year.
