Bajaj Auto has unveiled the 2025 Bajaj Platina 110 NXT, a refreshed version of its popular commuter motorcycle, launched in India on May 9, 2025. Priced at ₹74,214 (ex-showroom), this new variant brings a stylish edge to the trusted Platina lineup, combining enhanced aesthetics with its renowned fuel efficiency.
The NXT trim introduces vibrant dual-tone color schemes—Red-Black, Silver-Black, and Yellow-Black—along with updated graphics and a modern design philosophy. This launch aims to appeal to both urban and rural riders seeking a blend of affordability, performance, and flair.
Upgraded Engine and Efficiency
The Platina 110 NXT boasts a 115.45 cc single-cylinder engine, now OBD-2B compliant to meet stringent emission norms. A significant upgrade is the shift from an electronic carburetor to a fuel injection (FI) system, enhancing fuel efficiency and performance.
The engine delivers 8.5 bhp at 7,000 rpm and 9.81 Nm of torque at 5,000 rpm, paired with a five-speed gearbox. Bajaj claims an impressive mileage of around 70-75 kmpl, making it one of the most fuel-efficient bikes in its segment. This efficiency, coupled with an 11-litre fuel tank, ensures long rides with fewer refueling stops.
Enhanced Design and Features
While retaining the core design of the Platina 110, the NXT variant introduces subtle yet striking changes. Fluorescent green strips adorn the tyre sidewalls, headlight fairing, and fuel tank, complemented by a chrome-finished exhaust heat shield.
The bike features 17-inch blacked-out alloy wheels, a telescopic front fork with 135 mm travel, and gas-charged rear shock absorbers for a smooth ride on varied terrains. Safety is prioritized with 130 mm front and 110 mm rear drum brakes equipped with a Combined Braking System (CBS). A digital instrument cluster, LED DRLs, and a USB charging port add a modern touch.

Market Positioning and Appeal
The Bajaj Platina 110 NXT is positioned as a premium yet affordable option in the 110 cc commuter segment, competing with models like the Honda Shine and Hero Splendor+. Its higher price compared to the base Platina 110 (₹71,558) reflects the added style and technological upgrades. The bike’s robust build and fuel efficiency make it ideal for daily commuters and rural riders navigating rough roads. Posts on X highlight enthusiasm for the launch, with users praising its mileage and refreshed look, signaling strong market reception.
Why the Platina 110 NXT Stands Out
Bajaj has struck a balance between tradition and innovation with the Platina 110 NXT. Its fuel efficiency addresses rising fuel costs, while the updated design caters to younger riders seeking style without compromising practicality.
The shift to fuel injection ensures compliance with emission norms while maintaining performance, positioning the bike as a forward-thinking choice. With its competitive pricing and feature-rich package, the Platina 110 NXT is set to reinforce Bajaj’s dominance in the commuter motorcycle market, offering a compelling option for budget-conscious riders.
