Bajaj Platina 110

The Platina 110 is powered by a 115.45cc, air-cooled, single-cylinder DTS-i engine, producing 8.6 PS at 7,000 rpm and 9.81 Nm at 5,000 rpm. Mated to a 5-speed gearbox, it achieves a top speed of 90 kmph and offers a claimed mileage of 70 km/l, ideal for cost-conscious commuters. The engine delivers smooth low-end torque for city riding but feels underpowered on highways. Its OBD-2B compliance ensures cleaner emissions for 2025.

The Platina 110 sports a minimalist, functional design with a focus on practicality. Available in colors like Ebony Black Red, Ebony Black Blue, and Cocktail Wine Red. It features a round halogen headlamp, chrome accents, and subtle decals. The digital-analog instrument cluster adds a modern touch, displaying speed, fuel, and trip data. However, the plasticky panels and dated styling feel less premium in contrast to the TVS Radeon’s chrome-heavy look or the Hero Splendor Plus’s refined aesthetics.

The Platina 110 includes basic safety features like halogen lighting, a side-stand cut-off sensor, and drum brakes with a combined braking system (CBS). The optional front disc brake (240 mm) improves stopping power, but ABS is absent. The 2025 model’s OBD-2B compliance enhances emissions monitoring. While the sturdy chassis and reliable tires ensure stability, the safety suite is minimal compared to the Hero Splendor Plus Xtec’s advanced features.

TVS Radeon

The Radeon boasts a premium design with chrome accents, a fully digital console, and USB charging. Its 109.7cc engine (8.08 PS) delivers better low-end torque, and its build quality feels sturdier. The Platina 110 very slightly undercuts the Radeon on price (₹71,000 vs. ₹72,000) while offering comparable mileage (70 km/l vs. 65 km/l). Its Comfortec suspension provides a smoother ride, and the 5-speed gearbox enhances flexibility over the Radeon’s 4-speed unit.

Hero Splendor Plus

The Splendor Plus (₹75,000) has a more refined 97.2cc engine, premium styling, and better resale value. The XTEC variant includes a digital display, Bluetooth, and USB charging, outpacing the Platina’s basic features. The Platina 110 offers similar mileage but a more comfortable ride due to its Comfortec suspension. Its 115.45cc engine provides slightly higher power (8.6 PS vs. 8.02 PS), and the optional disc brake enhances stopping power.

Honda Shine 100

The Shine 100 is more affordable (₹68,000), offers a smoother, more refined 98.98cc engine and offers better high-speed stability. Its modern design, side-stand cut-off, and Honda’s reliability give it an edge in urban markets. The Platina 110 delivers higher power (8.6 PS vs. 7.38 PS) and a similar mileage. Its Comfortec suspension and longer seat provide superior comfort for long rides, ideal for rural commuters.

The 2025 Bajaj Platina 110 is a compelling choice for budget commuters, offering excellent fuel efficiency (70 km/l), a comfortable ride, and reliable performance at a starting price of ₹74,016. Its lightweight design, Comfortec suspension, and optional disc brake make it practical for urban and rural use. However, its dated styling, basic features, and lack of ABS or a fully digital console lag behind rivals like the Hero Splendor Plus and TVS Radeon. For riders prioritizing affordability and mileage, the Platina 110 shines, but those seeking modern tech or premium build may prefer alternatives.
