Bajaj Platina 100 — Overview

The Bajaj Platina 100 is a commuter bike available at a starting price of Rs. 69,217 in India. It comes in 1 variant and 4 colours. It is powered by a 99.59 cc BS6 Phase 2 engine and has a user reported mileage of 75 kmpl. With both front and rear drum brakes, the Bajaj Platina 100 comes with combined braking system on both wheels. The Platina 100 bike weighs 117 kg and has a fuel tank capacity of 11 liters. It develops a power output of 7.79 bhp and a torque of 8.34 Nm.

The Bajaj Platina 100 is the most affordable entry in Bajaj's commuter range - a 102cc, fuel-injected BS6 motorcycle starting at Rs 64,000 ex-showroom. It is built around one core promise: ride comfort and fuel economy for daily commuters who cover long distances on rough roads. The Platina 100's standout feature is its SNS (spring-in-spring) rear suspension, which absorbs road shocks noticeably better than the conventional setups on most rivals at this price. Two variants - ES Drum CBS and ES Disc CBS - cover buyers from pure economy to slightly upgraded braking. In a segment dominated by Hero HF Deluxe and TVS Sport, the Platina 100 makes its case on price, ride quality, and mileage rather than features or styling.

Bajaj Platina 100 Latest Updates

View all

  • The Bajaj Platina 100 continues into 2026 with unchanged specifications and pricing - the ES Drum CBS variant remains at approximately Rs 64,000 ex-showroom and the ES Disc CBS at Rs 70,000. No new variant, facelift, or price revision has been announced for the 2026 model year.

What We Like

  • SNS rear suspension genuinely outperforms conventional twin-spring setups on rough roads and potholes - the Platina 100's most consistently praised feature by owners commuting on broken urban and village roads
  • 84.36 kmpl ARAI mileage and Rs 64,000 starting price combine to make this one of the lowest total-cost-of-ownership commuters in the BS6 segment
  • Fuel injection across all variants improves cold-start reliability and consistent throttle response compared to older carburetted 100cc commuters
  • CBS on all variants - the combined braking system provides safer stopping for less experienced and younger riders who are the primary audience

What Could Be Better

  • 7.9 PS is the lowest power output in the current BS6 commuter segment - pillion riding and highway stretches above 80 kmph expose the engine's limits clearly
  • 115 kg kerb weight is heavier than the Honda CD 110 Dream (104 kg) and Hero HF Deluxe (~112 kg) - the Platina 100 is not the lightest 100cc option
  • Completely analogue instrument cluster with no digital elements - no trip meter, gear indicator, or service reminder, which rivals have begun addressing even at budget prices

Editor's Verdict

Should You Buy the Bajaj Platina 100?

The Bajaj Platina 100 is the right bike for one specific buyer: someone who covers 40-80 km daily on imperfect roads, cares more about ride comfort and fuel economy than features or looks, and wants the lowest possible purchase price in the BS6 segment. The SNS suspension and 84+ kmpl ARAI mileage are genuine advantages. If you want a more powerful engine, a digital cluster, or more modern styling, the Platina 110 H-Gear or the Hero HF Deluxe i3s will serve you better.

Yes, for the right buyer - specifically daily commuters who prioritise ride comfort, maximum fuel economy, and the lowest possible price. The SNS suspension and 84.36 kmpl ARAI mileage are genuine advantages for urban and semi-urban riders.

The Platina 110 is priced approximately Rs 6,000-7,000 higher. Both share the SNS rear suspension. The Platina 110 is the better all-round choice; the Platina 100 suits buyers who want the lowest entry price.
