There we have it! 2025 Bajaj Platina 100: Not just any other Commuter bike, but a high‑mileage no-nonsense vehicle! The new Platina comes with minor styling changes, is compliant to the latest emission norms and gets user-friendly tweaks in a bid to remain as one of the most efficient and affordable modes of transport in India.
Reliable Engine & Fuel Efficiency
Just under the seat, a 99.27cc single-cylinder air-cooled DTS‑i engine will effectively meet OBD‑2B emission standards after being enhanced. The four-speed gearbox offered is quite smooth and this engine makes around 7.8bhp and 8.05Nm of torque. Fuel economy still the main reason to get excited—and for 75–85km/l in everyday use. This is good for a 800km commuter range which should keep trips to the fuel pump few and far between.
Subtle Style Enhancements
Although it still follows the routine simplicity, there have been a couple of tweaks on the Platina 100:
- Fresh colour choices, dual-tone paint schemes and updated graphics
- Chrome bezel around the headlamp
- New grab rail design and muffler tip for a sleeker appearance
The new styling elements help in retaining the subtle character of the bike, albeit giving it a refreshing outlook.
Smart Utility Features
The Platina 100 2025 despite carrying a budget positioning, it gets some necessary commuter-grade essentials:
- Forged alloy wheels and tubeless tyres
- Semi-digital instrument cluster with instant mileage and service reminder
- Convenient front toolkit storage
- Side-stand engine cut-off for safety
Part of what makes it so easy to live with are its practical touches, which come without complication.
Ride Comfort & Ergonomics
Tuned for comfort, these features are ergonomically designed on the Platina:
- Deep long padded pillion seat suite for two riders
- Traditional twin rear shocks
- More comfortable upright riding posture; good for city traffic and rough rural roads
Even though it is based on basics, the ride quality remains sensibly sorted for day-to-day commuting as well.
Versatile Variant Line-Up & Price
The Platina 100 is sold in several trims, depending on the requirement:
- Base Drum variant
- Basic variant with improved graphics
- Tubeless Tyres with alloy wheels (optional)
Likely ex-showroom price 63K, one of the cheapest commuter bikes in the segment.
Final Word
The Platina 100 2025 continues to live up to its reputation as a mileage champion ever but it is now more refined and compliant. Thanks to its ultra-low running costs, the Honda-like reliability that has become synonymous with Yamaha generators and the compact size, it continues to be a good choice for learners, delivery riders and general users.
And for the hassle-averse who are after a peaceful ride and high fuel efficiency from their daily commuter, the Platina 100 remains hard to beat.
