Bajaj Platina 100 : In India’s fast-paced world of two-wheelers, where millions rely on bikes for daily commuting, Bajaj Auto has crafted the perfect answer to the everyday rider’s needs — the Bajaj Platina 100. Known for its unbeatable mileage, practical design, and affordable pricing, this 100cc commuter bike has long been a trusted companion for both urban and rural riders alike.

Now, with improved comfort, refined features, and trusted engine reliability, the Platina 100 continues to hold its ground as one of India’s best-selling commuter motorcycles.

Efficient Engine That Doesn’t Compromise on Performance

The Bajaj Platina 100 is powered by a 102cc air-cooled, single-cylinder engine, producing 7.9 PS at 7,500 rpm and 8.3 Nm of torque at 5,500 rpm. The engine features Bajaj’s DTS-i (Digital Twin Spark Ignition) technology, which improves combustion and delivers higher mileage without compromising performance.

With a smooth 4-speed gearbox, the Platina glides easily through traffic and cruises decently on highways with a top speed of around 90–95 km/h. It’s not a racing machine, but it doesn’t need to be — it’s designed to get you where you need to go, affordably and comfortably.

Class-Leading Mileage

Fuel economy is where the Platina 100 really shines. It delivers 70–75 km/l in cities and can go up to 90 km/l on highways, depending on road and riding conditions. With its 11-litre fuel tank, you’re looking at a riding range of over 700 kilometers on a full tank. That’s more than enough for daily use, even in the most traffic-congested cities or long rural commutes.

Rider Comfort Takes Priority

One of the Platina 100’s biggest strengths is its rider-friendly design. The bike comes with a longer and softer seat, designed to carry both rider and pillion comfortably. The Comfortec suspension system, featuring telescopic forks at the front and spring-in-spring suspension at the rear, absorbs potholes and rough patches with ease — a much-needed feature for India’s unpredictable road conditions.

The riding posture is upright, the handlebars are positioned for relaxed control, and the footpegs are placed forward for a more natural seating position — all working together to reduce fatigue during long rides.

Safe and Simple

Safety may not be flashy on the Platina 100, but it is effective. The bike features 130mm drum brakes at both ends, and the inclusion of a Combined Braking System (CBS) ensures better balance and shorter braking distances.

The 200mm ground clearance is higher than average, helping riders glide over speed bumps and poorly maintained roads without worry. Meanwhile, the 17-inch alloy wheels with tubeless tyres offer good grip and reduce the risk of sudden punctures — a huge bonus for daily riders.

Modern Features That Don’t Overcomplicate

While built for utility, the Platina 100 still looks modern. It has attractive graphics, sleek body panels, and a chrome exhaust cover that gives it a slightly premium edge. The instrument cluster is a hybrid analog-digital setup, showing speed, fuel level, and trip meters clearly.

Higher-end variants come with electric start, which is especially useful in heavy traffic or during early morning starts. The base variant features kick-start only, keeping costs lower for budget buyers.

Variants, Pricing & Colors

The Platina 100 comes in two main variants — Kick Start and Electric Start — with pricing typically starting around ₹60,000 (ex-showroom) and going slightly higher for the ES model. Buyers can choose from four attractive color options:

• Black with Red
• Black with Blue
• Black with Silver
• Black with Gold graphics

This gives riders the flexibility to choose a look that suits their style, without compromising on budget or function.

Reliable, Low-Cost Maintenance

Bajaj has a vast service network across India, so maintenance is easy and affordable. Regular service costs are low, and spare parts are widely available, even in rural areas. The bike’s simple yet durable engineering means fewer breakdowns and more time on the road.

Service intervals are every 3,000 km or 3 months, and maintenance costs rarely exceed ₹500–₹800 per visit, depending on parts and labor.

A Practical Hero for Everyday India

In a market crowded with feature-heavy motorcycles and flashy scooters, the Bajaj Platina 100 continues to win hearts by being simple, smart, and super economical. It’s not trying to be the fastest or flashiest — instead, it offers unbeatable value, reliable performance, and peace of mind, all in a budget-friendly package.

Whether you’re a college student, a daily commuter, or someone from a rural area who needs a sturdy workhorse, the Platina 100 remains one of the best all-round choices in the 100cc commuter segment.
