Bajaj Platina 125 Returns With a More Practical and Premium Look, Bajaj Auto has launched the new Platina 125 in India, upgrading one of its most trusted commuter motorcycles with better performance, improved fuel efficiency, and enhanced comfort features. Targeted at everyday riders and budget-conscious commuters, the new Platina 125 strikes a balance between affordability, economy, and durability. Known for its smooth ride and excellent mileage, this new version takes the Platina brand to the next level in the 125cc commuter category.
Refined 125cc Engine With Better Pickup and Mileage
The new Platina 125 is powered by a refined 124.4cc single-cylinder, air-cooled engine, delivering around 11PS of power and 11Nm of torque. Bajaj has tuned the engine for better low-end torque and smoother pickup in city traffic. The engine comes mated to a 5-speed gearbox, offering smoother gear shifts and improved acceleration on congested roads. With Bajaj’s patented Electronic Injection (eFI) system, the bike offers superior fuel combustion, resulting in a claimed mileage of up to 60–65 km/l, making it one of the most fuel-efficient bikes in its class.
New Design With Premium Touches and Comfort Additions
Visually, the new Platina 125 gets subtle yet noticeable changes that give it a more premium appeal. The bike now features a revised headlamp unit with LED DRLs, a longer and cushioned seat for enhanced rider and pillion comfort, and new dual-tone body graphics that make it stand out in daily traffic. The bike is offered in attractive colors such as Glossy Ebony Black with Red and Matte Titanium Grey. Alloy wheels and tubeless tyres come standard, offering better durability and lower maintenance.
Suspension and Ride Quality Focused on Daily Comfort
Bajaj has equipped the new Platina 125 with telescopic front forks and Nitrox rear shock absorbers, tuned for Indian road conditions. The long-travel suspension ensures minimal jerks even on pothole-filled roads, while the upright seating posture makes it ideal for longer commutes. A comfortable handlebar position, wider foot pegs, and improved seat cushioning all work together to reduce fatigue for daily riders.
Braking and Safety Features for City Conditions
In terms of braking, the new Platina 125 offers disc brake at the front and drum brake at the rear, supported by CBS (Combi Braking System) for added safety and better braking balance. The bike’s low kerb weight further improves maneuverability and control in narrow urban lanes. While ABS is not offered, the safety features remain adequate for city commuting.
Price and Availability of Bajaj Platina 125 in India
The new Bajaj Platina 125 is priced starting at ₹82,000 (ex-showroom), making it an affordable upgrade for 100cc users looking for more power and comfort. It will be available at Bajaj dealerships across India, and bookings have already begun. The bike competes with rivals like the Hero Super Splendor, Honda Shine 125, and TVS Radeon in the commuter motorcycle segment.
Still the Mileage Champion, Now With More Style
The new Bajaj Platina 125 remains true to its roots as a mileage-focused, durable commuter bike but now adds a premium design, better ride quality, and improved refinement. With fuel prices rising and traffic conditions worsening, the Platina 125 offers the perfect blend of economy, reliability, and practicality for daily two-wheeler users in India.
