Splendor Plus vs HF Deluxe vs Shine 100 vs Platina 100: Which 100cc Bike Should You Buy?

Entry-level 100cc commuters are the backbone of India's motorcycle market, and these four are the names Delhi buyers ask for most. They share the same recipe: a single-cylinder engine of about 100cc, a 4-speed gearbox, 17 or 18-inch wheels and a price that stays under ₹1 lakh on the road. Here is how they compare on today's verified Delhi on-road prices (₹71,266 to ₹99,842 across all variants) and the makers' own spec sheets.

A row appears only where the makers' spec sheets publish the figure for at least three of the four bikes. Claimed mileage is not printed on most of these spec sheets, so we leave it out rather than guess; open each model's spec page for its full sheet.

Which one should you buy?

For the lowest price: the Hero HF Deluxe starts at ₹71,266 on-road in Delhi, with EMI from ₹2,357 a month. It is the bike to buy if every rupee counts.

For pulling power: the Bajaj Platina 100 makes the most power here (8.2 PS) and the most torque (8.3 Nm), which helps with a pillion and on flyovers.

It also has the biggest fuel tank of the four, at 11 litres, so you stop for fuel less often.

For choice: the Hero Splendor Plus comes in 8 variants, from basic drum-brake trims to versions with i3S idle stop-start and a digital console, so you can match features to budget.
