Every figure from the manufacturer's sheet, plus what each feature actually does for you.
Engine and performance
The 100cc air-cooled engine makes 7.79 bhp and 8.34 Nm through a 4 Speed. With a kerb weight of 117 kg that is 67 bhp per tonne, the lowest power-to-weight ratio of the 21 bikes in this class we have reviewed.

Dimensions in practice
The Platina 100 weighs 117 kg with fluids, has an 807 mm seat, 200 mm of ground clearance, and rides on a 1255 mm wheelbase. That clearance is generous: speed breakers and broken roads will not trouble the underbody.
The fuel tank holds 11 litres, good for about 814 km between fills in real-world riding.
Tyres are 2.75x17 front and 3.00x17 rear.
Features, and why each matters
Grouped by what they do for you. Underlined items link to a plain-English explainer.
Safety and braking
Links the rear brake lever to the front so a rear-only stamp still slows you properly.
Side-stand engine cut-off
Engine will not run with the stand down, which prevents a common low-speed crash.
Chassis
Alloy wheels
Lighter than spoked wheels and they allow tubeless tyres.
Lighting
LED daytime running lamp
Makes you visible to cars in daylight, when most two-wheeler collisions happen.
Convenience
USB charging port
Charges the phone on a long commute. Check whether it is Type-A or Type-C.
