Best 100cc Bike In India

The entry level bikes segment is amazingly crowded with more than a dozen offerings in the 100cc to 110cc segment. Today we will compare some of these bikes side-by-side to see which of these bikes perform the best under city road and highways conditions.

First the specifications. At the entry level, you do not get a lot of power in any case. However, that doesn’t make this a feature that is not aspired among the customers. While you may not expect a 10 BHP from the 100cc bikes, a better power while maintaining a good mileage is always something that the customers will be interested to see on their bike.

Here is a side-by-side comparison of the engine capacity, power, torque and official mileage as specified by the manufacturers of the various 100cc bikes we will discuss today.

Bike Model Engine Power Torque Official Mileage (kmpl)
Yamaha Crux 106cc 7.6PS 7.5Nm @6000 91
Hero Splendor Pro 97.2cc 7.8PS 8.04Nm @4500 90.1
Hero Splendor NXG 97.2cc 7.8PS 8.04Nm @4500 87.7
Bajaj Discover 100T 102cc 10.2PS 9.2Nm @6500 87
Honda CB Twister 109cc 9.1 PS 9Nm @6000 85.7
TVS Sport 99.7cc 7.4PS 7.5Nm @5000 83.9
Hero HF Dawn 97.2cc 7.8PS 8.04Nm @4500 82.91
TVS Jive 110cc 8.4PS 8.3Nm @5500 82
Hero Splendor Plus 97.2cc 7.5PS 7.95Nm @5000 80.6
Bajaj Platina 99.27cc 8.2PS 8.05Nm @4500 75 (city)
Hero Passion xPro 109.1cc 8.7PS 9.36Nm @5500 70 (city)

This is definitely not an apples-to-apples comparison considering that a couple of these bikes have an official mileage reported under city conditions while most of them are under standard test conditions. But what this table will tell you is how the bikes stack up when you sort them by the official mileage claim. Yamaha Crux is right there on top with a 91kmpl claim while the likes of Hero Splendor Plus are pretty much down at a claim of just 80.6 kmpl under standard conditions. And to see that Crux still offers a slightly higher power than Splendor Plus is a major setback to the latter in this comparison.

City Road Fuel Efficiency

If you have been reading this blog regularly, you will know that I normally review the city road economy by taking up reports from a number of sources (customer feedbacks as well as test rides) to give you a perspective of what you could possibly expect. But with so many bikes in the fray, it could be a little messy if I have to talk about these various sources like MouthShut or MaxAbout separately. So what I’ve done here is pick the median value of city mileage as reported from various sources for each of this bike. By this, I could eliminate the extreme values and take up what is the most likely fuel consumption that you could see on these various bikes.

Bike Model City Mileage (median kmpl)
TVS Sport 70
Bajaj Platina 67.5
Bajaj Discover 100T 65
Hero Splendor NXG 65
Hero Splendor Pro 65
Hero Splendor Plus 65
Hero HF Dawn 65
Hero Passion xPro 62.5
Yamaha Crux 62.3
Honda CB Twister 57.2
TVS Jive 54.5

The table above is sorted in the descending order of the median mileage reported on the various 100 cc bike models we are reviewing. The biggest disappointment of all would have to be Yamaha Crux – this bike tops the list in the first table at 91 kmpl and on the second one is barely escaping the bottom at 62.3 kmpl. On a similar note, the bike that excites me the most is Bajaj Platina – it doesn’t create a splash as far as the official reviews go, but from real world reviews, it seems to be a great bet.

  7. Nice Review for 100-110cc segment but is it true that most of the bikes in this segment starts shaking when you accelerate above 40 kms/hr? It would have been great if the on road price would have been included in this review

  8. which bike should i pick among discover 100-4g and passion pro , in terms of mileage and low maintenance cost

  9. Nicely reviewed keep it up! My bajaj 100t fails to deliver above 52-55 kmpl in city with Rs 10k more spent on this foolish model, better go for star sport or platina.

  10. hero passion pro is the best bike in terms of mileage and smoothness of engine ….in 100 rs. fuel it runs almost 80 kms in city condition

  11. I’m going to buy a 100 cc bike in Nov, so your information was very helpful for me to choose an economic bike during these times of high petrol rate. Thank you, Keep it up.

  12. Nice review work done. Thanks to the website Owners / administrators. My humble suggestion is to include Bajaj Discover 100 (4 gear) in the 100 cc segment analysis, as the theme is mileage and I hope it is one of the top mileage bikes.

  13. I purchased the Hero Splendor Pro around 4 months back. I would like to know if this is a good bike for long ride with pillion rider. I read your analysis and found it was very helpful.
