Engine and Performance
The Platina 100 is powered by a 102cc, air-cooled, fuel-injected engine featuring Bajaj’s DTS-i technology which produces 7.9 PS and 8.3 Nm. The bike’s smooth acceleration and comfortable ride (thanks to Comfortec rear suspension) are boosted by a 4-speed all-down gearbox. The Platina still holds its ground at speeds of 90-95km/h and that makes it a very viable option for everyday commuting.
Mileage and Fuel Efficiency
The ARAI-certified economy is 70 km/l and real-world claims point at anything between 75-86 km/l, especially if you ride very gently at under 50 km/h, so, if fuel economy is a big factor, the Platina 100 is still a good option among low-cost commuters. Proper upkeep and attentive driving can also extend its efficiency.
Design and Styling
The 2025 model has kept its practical commuter-oriented look with modest additions that include cool decals and a wide choice of colors such as Black-Red, Black-Silver, Black-Gold, and Black-Blue.

The generously-padded seat makes it comfortable for both rider and pillion.
Safety and Suspension

The Platina 100 doesn’t come equipped with cutting-edge electronics but, it does get some useful bits such as electric start, LED DRLs and alloy wheels. One minor gripe is there is no side-stand engine kill switch but such simplicity ensures the bike’s hassle-free nature and reliability.
