Bajaj Platina 100 2025 is here and it’s already making waves. Bajaj has taken one of India’s most loved commuter bikes and made it even better. If you’re someone who just wants a reliable, fuel-saving bike for daily use, this new Platina might just be your best bet.
Over the years, Platina has earned a name for its comfort, simplicity, and legendary mileage. The 2025 version continues that story but adds a few new twists to keep things fresh.
Why everyone’s talking about Platina 100
The reason people can’t stop talking about this bike is simple. It gives you more while costing less. It’s designed for the common man. Office-goers, students, delivery riders, and even older folks trust this bike to take them from A to B every single day.
Now with the 2025 update, Bajaj has made sure the Platina 100 doesn’t just survive the competition. It’s aiming to dominate the segment.
Mileage that saves your pocket
Let’s be honest. Mileage is the first thing we care about when buying a commuter bike. And Platina never disappoints. The 2025 model is expected to offer around 75 to 80 kmpl in real-world conditions. That’s insane.
Even in heavy city traffic, you can expect fuel efficiency to stay strong. Bajaj has worked on improving combustion, reducing weight slightly, and optimizing the gear ratios. These small changes add up to big savings.
With fuel prices going up every few months, this kind of mileage is pure gold.
Same trusted engine, but better
The 2025 Platina 100 continues with its 102cc single-cylinder, air-cooled engine. It produces around 7.9 PS of power and 8.3 Nm of torque. Sounds basic on paper, but this setup is tuned perfectly for Indian roads.
The engine is BS6 Phase 2 compliant and now supports E20 fuel. That means you can run it on petrol that’s 20% ethanol-blended. It’s cleaner and future-ready.
It’s paired with a 4-speed gearbox that’s smooth and easy to use. Whether you’re riding in first gear through traffic or cruising in fourth gear on open roads, the engine feels balanced and relaxed.
Ride comfort is unmatched
One of the biggest reasons people love the Platina is its ride quality. The 2025 version improves on that even more.
It comes with Comfortec suspension. You get telescopic forks at the front and dual spring-on-spring shock absorbers at the rear. These are tuned to handle bad roads like a champ.
Even with a pillion, the bike doesn’t bounce too much. It absorbs bumps quietly and keeps the ride smooth. Long rides won’t leave your back aching.
The seat is long, wide, and very soft. It’s designed for comfort. There’s also enough room for two adults to sit comfortably. Add in footrests and grab rail, and the pillion rider is happy too.
Features that actually help
Bajaj has added a few smart and useful features in the 2025 Platina. Nothing flashy. Just things that make everyday use easier.
It now comes with LED DRLs (daytime running lights) to improve visibility during the day. The headlamp is still halogen but bright enough for night rides. Indicators and tail lights are clear lens types.
There’s a semi-digital console that gives you speed, fuel level, odometer, and a few other details. Simple, clear, and easy to read even in sunlight.
The bike also comes with CBS (Combined Braking System). This is now mandatory, and it really helps. It distributes braking between the front and rear wheel, giving you more control and stopping power.
Lightweight and easy to ride
The Platina 100 is light. It weighs around 117 kg. That makes it super easy to handle, especially in city traffic. Taking U-turns, parking in tight spots, or squeezing through narrow lanes becomes effortless.
The seat height is around 800mm. It’s friendly for short and average-height riders. And thanks to its slim design, you can plant your feet comfortably on the ground.
The turning radius is tight. The bike feels nimble and responsive. You won’t feel tired even after long daily commutes.
Design stays familiar with small changes
Bajaj hasn’t done a major design overhaul. And that’s a good thing. People like the Platina the way it is.
You still get a clean, elegant design with minimal graphics. The 2025 version adds new color options and fresh decals. It looks neat and smart. It’s not trying to be sporty or aggressive. Just practical and mature.
The fuel tank has soft curves, and the body panels are well fitted. The side panels have a bit of shine to give it a premium touch.
Overall, it looks like a well-put-together commuter bike. Simple, strong, and sensible.
Brakes, tyres, and safety
The bike comes with drum brakes on both ends. While disc brakes would be nice, Bajaj wants to keep the price low. The drum brakes are strong enough for city use.
As mentioned earlier, the CBS system adds a layer of safety. Even if you press only the rear brake, some braking force goes to the front too. This avoids skidding and gives a balanced stop.
The tyres are 17-inch and tubeless. That’s great because tubeless tyres are easier to repair and safer in case of punctures. Grip levels are decent for city roads.
Maintenance is cheap
This is another big reason why Platina 100 continues to be popular. It hardly needs anything beyond regular oil changes and basic checks. Spare parts are affordable and easily available. Bajaj’s service network is huge. Almost every city and small town has a service center.
If you ride 30–40 km daily, this bike can easily last 8–10 years with basic care. That’s long-term value.
Expected price and variants
The 2025 Platina 100 is expected to be priced between ₹65,000 to ₹70,000 (ex-showroom). That’s a great deal considering the updates, mileage, and reliability.
It will come in two variants – one with kick start and one with electric start. Most people prefer the electric start version, and it doesn’t cost much more.
Color options include black with red, black with silver, and some new dual-tone shades.
Why this bike still matters
In a time when flashy electric scooters and expensive sports bikes grab all the attention, the Platina 100 quietly does its job. It doesn’t promise to impress your friends. But it will take you to work every day, save you fuel money, and hardly ever complain.
That’s what makes it special. And the 2025 update just makes it even better.
