This new Platina isn’t all about sipping like a juice cleanse-aspiring tea drinker program. Bajaj has allocated this brawny beast a practical facelift that gets a grip on the typical rider’s problems. The star of the show is the new fuel injection system that replaces the old carburetor system, this means that your bike won’t give you any trouble if it’s a cold morning or a hot afternoon.
The 115.45cc DTS-i powerplant may not look good on paper but has been tweaked for what the every day rider is looking for. And with 8.6 PS of power and 9.81 Nm of torque, it has performance to tackle city traffic and that famous Platina mileage. With its sweet spot at 5,000 rpm, you won’t be hunting for the right gear when traffic comes to a halt.
Design That Looks Good
Fuel efficient motorcycles don’t have to look boring. The 2025 Platina has a chrome bezeled headlight with integrated LED daytime running lights that makes it look premium. The dual tone color options like Red-Black and Silver-Black add personality without being too flashy.
The blacked out alloy wheels with rim decals might seem like a small thing but it makes a big difference in how the bike looks. Clearly Bajaj understands that even practical riders want good looks.
Comfort That Works
This is the area where Platina truly shines. The new cushioning for the seat feels like an actual upgrade, not just a marketing gimmicks. After spending hours in the city, you’ll be amazed at how the multi foam layers support your body without causing pressure points.
The riding position is a perfect combination of the upright position and big control. With the high seat of 807mm, and a 200mm of ground clearance, the majority of riders can sit comfortably, while having enough room for India’s bumpy roads.Telescopic front forks as well as gas charged rear shocks are able to handle every day potholes and bumps. It’s not a sportbike suspension, but what you require to commute in the city.
Technology That Makes Sense
Bajaj has adopted a practical approach with the technology in place instead of going overboard with features. An USB charging port sits on top of the console so you can charge your phone on longer rides. The speed-o has been kept analog with a digital fuel gauge and gear indicator thrown in.
For added safety this bike is equipped with CBS (Combined Braking System) which is responsible for applying brake in front and rear wheel simultaneously. Not as good as ABS but better than nothing, specially for beginners.
Real-World Performance
The 70 kmpl fuel efficiency is not a lab tested number. Real riders are achieving this under normal riding conditions. For someone who rides 50 km daily, this means huge monthly savings compared to less efficient bikes.
The 4 speed gearbox is smooth and well spaced though a 5th gear would have been nice for highway cruising. But the existing ratios are perfect for the bike’s urban and suburban use.
