Bajaj Auto is rebuilding its commuter motorcycle portfolio in 2025, and one of the highlights is the updated Bajaj Platina 110. Although the ABS variant was discontinued earlier this year along with the CT125X and Pulsar F250, the non-ABS drum brake variant has lived on—and it’s now receiving a significant makeover. Interestingly, the updated model has already started arriving at showrooms ahead of its official launch.
Here’s everything you need to know about the 2025 Bajaj Platina 110:
1. Positioning in the Market
- The 110cc commuter segment is currently underserved, with Hero MotoCorp’s Splendor lineup dominating the 100cc space.
- Bajaj positions the Platina 110 between the 100cc and 125cc categories to offer a balanced alternative in the commuter segment.
2. New Color Schemes and Design Updates
- The 2025 model brings fresh color options, including a black base with light green highlights—visible on the body graphics and alloy wheel pinstriping.
- In comparison, the 2024 version came in:
- Ebony Black Blue
- Ebony Black Red
- Cocktail Wine Red – Orange
- Visual upgrades include:
- Chrome surround on the headlight, adding a premium touch.
- Removal of translucent knuckle guards, which might be model-specific or removed altogether.
- Seat cover and swingarm area have received subtle revisions.
3. Practical Feature Additions
- A USB charging port has been added for rider convenience—ideal for charging smartphones or GPS devices.
- Standard features like halogen headlamps, LED DRLs, and the analog instrument cluster are retained.
4. Major Engine Upgrade – BS6, Fuel Injection
- The most significant update lies under the tank.
- The engine is now compliant with BS6 Phase 2 OBD-2B emission norms (mandatory from April 1, 2025).
- To meet these standards, Bajaj has replaced the electronic carburettor with a fuel injector.
Expected Benefits:
- Improved fuel efficiency
- Better throttle response
- Cleaner emissions
5. Powertrain and Transmission
- While official figures for the 2025 version are yet to be released, the outgoing model delivered:
- 8.5 bhp of peak power
- 9.81 Nm of torque
- Paired with a 4-speed gearbox
6. Instrument Cluster & Electronics
- No digital upgrades here—the fully analog cluster remains unchanged.
- This decision likely keeps costs down while maintaining familiarity for long-time users.
Conclusion
With the 2025 update, Bajaj Platina 110 aims to strengthen its foothold in the 110cc commuter segment. Key highlights like fuel injection, updated styling, a USB port, and emission compliance make it a compelling option for budget-conscious daily riders.
