New variants allow the buyer to expand his options without looking at other brands.
Bajaj Auto has introduced new entry-level variants of the Platina and the CT 100. The Platina now gets a new ES Spoke variant which features spoke wheels instead of alloys. Apart from this, all other features are similar to the Platina ES alloy. It continues to be powered by the same 102cc air-cooled single which churns out 8.1PS of power and 8.6Nm of torque. The Bajaj Platina ES Spoke has a price tag of Rs 42,650, making it Rs 2,988 cheaper than the Platina ES Alloy which is priced at Rs 45,638 (all prices ex-showroom, Delhi).
The Bajaj CT 100, on the other hand, gets a new range-topper named the Bajaj CT 100 ES Alloy. The CT 100 family has three other variants-CT 100B (Rs 32,653), CT 100 spoke (Rs 35,1810) and the CT 100 (Rs 38,637). The new CT100 ES Alloy sits above these models and retails for Rs 41,997. All prices are ex-showroom, Delhi. The CT100 ES Alloy looks similar to the CT100 and has the same features, the difference being the addition of electric start which comes standard on the CT100 ES Alloy. The CT100 family share the same 99.27cc air-cooled powertrain that puts out 8.2PS and 8.05Nm of torque.
The commuter segment has been one of the major contributors to Bajaj's two-wheeler sales. New variants allow the buyer to expand his options without looking at other brands. It also allows Bajaj to keep the price-conscious buyer within the fold.
