Man, the Bajaj Platina 110 2025 is like that dependable daily rider who’s had a quick polish—smooth, efficient, and now with ABS that’s a first in the entry-level segment, making it a smart pick for first-timers, office goers, or budget hustlers navigating India’s traffic jungle. Launched in January 2025 as Bajaj’s updated premium commuter, it’s built for urban dodges and highway sprints without the premium fuss. Priced from Rs. 71,354 for the Drum variant to Rs. 75,094 for the Disc ABS (ex-showroom Delhi, down Rs. 7,000 post-GST cut), it’s a steal against the Honda Shine 125 or TVS Raider 125. With a 115.45cc DTS-i engine claiming 70 kmpl, Bluetooth dash, and H-Gear for highway ease, it’s sold over 10 lakh units—perfect if you’re upgrading from a 100cc or jumping from a scooter, though the basic styling might not wow your Insta crowd.
Simple, Sporty Design
This commuter’s a nimble champ—1,995 mm long, 710 mm wide, 1,065 mm tall, with a 1,325 mm wheelbase that’s quick for dodging autos or U-turns. At 119 kg kerb and 200 mm ground clearance, it skips speed bumps without scraping. The 2025 keeps the wolf-eye LED headlamp, sporty tank graphics, and quilted seat in shades like Ebony Black Blue or Cocktail Wine Red—three variants: Drum base, Drum ABS mid, Disc ABS topper. 17-inch alloys with 80/100 front and 100/90 rear tubeless tires grip steady, 807 mm seat height suits shorter riders—upright stance, wide footboard for bags, slim for tight mohallas.
Basic, Connected Cockpit
Hop on the long seat for two, and upright bars with mid pegs give a comfy lean—no numb hands after hours. The semi-digital LCD dash pops speed, fuel, gear, and Bluetooth alerts for calls/SMS via Bajaj app—top trims add real-time mileage and service reminders. USB port juices your phone, 11L tank tucks neat—optional backrest adds two-up fun. Low vibes let you chat over the hum, no overwhelming screens—just a focused commuter feel for office dashes or market runs.
Refined Engine Punch
The 115.45cc air-cooled single-cylinder BS6 DTS-i mill cranks 8.48 bhp at 7,000 rpm and 9.81 Nm at 5,000 rpm—5-speed gearbox (H-Gear on top) shifts crisp, zipping 0-100 kmph in 15 seconds, topping 90 kmph. ARAI 70 kmpl (real-world 60-65) stretches the tank 600-700 km at Rs. 1.5-2/km—torquey low-end for signals, smooth purr on throttle. Telescopic forks up front and twin shocks rear soak bumps decently, no jolts on potholes—refined for highways, hums a tad at revs.
Safety Basics Solid
Single-channel ABS on front disc (240 mm) with rear drum (110 mm) bites hard in rain—no dual-channel, but perimeter frame grips tight. LED tail light and kill switch add night smarts—side-stand cut-off saves slips. Tough for urban dings, chasing 4-star Global NCAP—solid for newbies, shrugging off scrapes.
Price and Quick Snag
Drum base at Rs. 71,354, Disc ABS Rs. 75,094—on-road Delhi Rs. 80k-85k with taxes. January 2025 launch means stock at Bajaj dealers or BikeWale, with September perks: Rs. 4k-7k cashback, EMI from Rs. 1,388/month on SBI cards, free helmets. Waits 7-15 days, 5-year/unlimited km warranty, Rs. 2k-3k yearly—resale 75% after two years.
Rider Raves and Gripes
Owners dig the mileage and lightness—”city ninja for peanuts,” one Delhi newbie says—but dated looks and no rear disc bug highways. Service Bajaj everywhere, vibes creep at speed. Vs. Shine’s refinement or Raider’s zip, Platina wins on style—top if sporty basics are your jam.
Quick Specs
January 2025 launch, Rs. 71k-75k, 115.45cc DTS-i, 8.48 bhp, 70 kmpl ARAI, three variants. Swing by for Ebony Black or deals—your commuter’s ready.
