Bajaj
The Bajaj Platina 125 has long been recognized as one of the most reliable commuter motorcycles in India, and the 2025 edition only strengthens that reputation. Designed for daily commuters who seek fuel efficiency, low maintenance, and riding comfort, the new Platina 125 comes with subtle upgrades that make a noticeable difference in everyday use.
Refined Design with Practicality
In terms of design, the 2025 Bajaj Platina 125 retains its sleek and minimalistic appearance, which is ideal for urban and rural commuting alike. Bajaj has introduced new color variants and subtle graphics that give the bike a fresh look without losing its signature styling. The body panels remain lightweight and sturdy, helping in easy maneuverability in city traffic.
The comfortable upright seating position, long seat, and high ground clearance continue to make the Platina a practical choice for riders who deal with uneven roads or longer commutes. The ergonomics are thoughtfully crafted, offering a stress-free experience for both the rider and the pillion.
Engine and Performance
The 2025 Platina 125 is powered by a refined 124.6cc single-cylinder, air-cooled engine that is BS6 Phase 2 compliant. This engine delivers a smooth and reliable performance with a power output of around 10.5 PS and torque of 11 Nm. The engine is paired with a 5-speed gearbox, which is a welcome addition in this segment, offering smoother gear transitions and better control at higher speeds.
The motorcycle is tuned for mileage rather than aggressive acceleration, making it perfect for cost-conscious riders. Bajaj claims an impressive mileage of around 65-70 kmpl under standard riding conditions, which puts the Platina 125 among the most fuel-efficient bikes in its category.
Ride Comfort and Suspension
One of the strongest aspects of the Platina series has always been its ride comfort, and the 2025 model continues this tradition. The bike features a front telescopic suspension with 135mm travel and rear Nitrox shock absorbers, which help absorb potholes and rough patches with ease.
The longer seat ensures that both rider and passenger remain comfortable during extended rides. Bajaj also includes its signature “Comfortec” technology, which further enhances ride quality by reducing vibrations and improving suspension feedback.
Braking and Safety
For braking, the Platina 125 comes with a 240mm front disc (optional) and a 110mm rear drum setup. CBS (Combi Braking System) is offered as standard, ensuring improved braking balance and safety, especially during sudden stops. The lightweight frame also contributes to easy handling, even in heavy traffic.
The 2025 Bajaj Platina 125 is a well-rounded commuter motorcycle that offers exceptional fuel efficiency, superior ride comfort, and reliable performance. While it may not have flashy features or sporty appeal, it delivers where it matters most daily practicality, low running costs, and an stress-free riding experience.
For anyone looking for an affordable and durable two-wheeler to handle everyday travel needs, the Bajaj Platina 125 (2025) remains a top choice in the 125cc segment.
