Bajaj Auto has given its legendary Bajaj Platina 100 a complete makeover for 2025, combining its class-leading 90 kmpl mileage with premium styling and modern features. Priced competitively at ₹65,000 (ex-showroom), the new Platina 100 remains India’s most fuel-efficient commuter bike while now offering better comfort, refined performance, and contemporary design.
Fresh Design with Premium Touches
The 2025 Platina 100 sheds its utilitarian look for a more stylish and modern appearance. The new LED headlamp with DRLs gives it a premium road presence, while the reshaped fuel tank and dual-tone graphics add a sporty touch. Chrome accents on the exhaust and suspension further enhance its appeal, making it stand out in the 100cc segment.
Unmatched Mileage & Refined Engine
At its core, the Platina 100 continues to be powered by the 102cc DTS-i engine, now tuned for smoother performance and better fuel efficiency.
