Somehow I fail to understand how Bajaj is managing to sell multiple models with similar look, similar engine price, similar price tag, CT100 for an example costing 46k has similar looks, similar engine spec. |
I looked into official website. It does have very minimal basic differences as follows,
1. With or without disc brakes,
2. Seat height (platina is 807mm whereas ct100 should be 800 or so),
3. Suspension (platina 100 has 135mm in front and 110mm in rear ,ct100 has 125mm in front and 100mm in rear),
4. Wheelbase ct100 is 1235mm vs platina is 1255mm, so on and so forth.
5. Overall dimensions vary by few mm and platina is 2kgs or so more.
6. Both have tube type tyres and platina 110 hgear has tubeless.CT110 still has tube type but different tread tyres.
Looks like there could be some field study done to make this subtle differences wherein it might cater to customers of different body types and age. Also position ct100 as economical model compared to platina. For sure we could see this with hero hf deluxe and splendor 100 also as an example in other competitors.
