Key Differences Explained
What really sets these two bikes apart
Engine & Performance
This is one of the few comparisons where both bikes are genuinely identical on core performance. Both use a ~115 cc air-cooled, 2-valve engine producing exactly 9.5 PS @ 7500 rpm and 9.9 Nm @ 5500 rpm, paired with a 4-speed gearbox. The CT 110X uses a 115.45 cc unit and the Platina uses 115.06 cc — effectively the same engine tuned for the same output. Riders will feel no difference in acceleration or pulling power between the two.
Fuel Efficiency & Range
The Platina 110 holds an official ARAI-certified mileage of 70 km/l, while the CT 110X has no official ARAI figure — owner reports suggest a similar ~70 km/l in real-world use. Both bikes have identical 11-litre fuel tanks, but the CT 110X's slightly larger 2.4-litre reserve (vs 2 litres) gives it a small edge in total range — approximately 770 km versus 630–700 km for the Platina on a full tank.
Ground Clearance & Ride Comfort
Surprisingly, it is the Platina 110 that wins on ground clearance: 200 mm versus the CT 110X's 170 mm — a full 30 mm more. The Platina also has longer front suspension travel (135 mm vs 125 mm) and a Nitrox rear shock absorber, which provides more progressive damping than the CT 110X's SNS unit. Despite the CT 110X's rugged branding, the Platina is the better choice for bad roads.
Ruggedness & Terrain Capability
Despite lower ground clearance, the CT 110X is purpose-built for tough conditions in ways the Platina is not. It features semi-knobby tyres for better grip on gravel and loose surfaces, a crash guard for underbody protection, and a rugged square-tube frame. The Platina uses conventional smooth road tyres. For genuinely off-road or heavily broken rural surfaces, the CT 110X's tyre and guard advantage makes it the practical choice.
Lighting & Features
The CT 110X has a meaningful advantage in headlight technology: it uses an LED headlight for better night visibility, while the Platina 110 uses a conventional halogen unit. Both bikes have DRL systems. Beyond lighting, the feature sets are minimal and largely identical — fully analogue consoles with no Bluetooth, no USB charging, no gear indicator and no clock on either motorcycle.
Price, Weight & Warranty
The CT 110X starts at ₹68,050 — ₹1,891 cheaper than the Platina's ₹69,941. The Platina is lighter at 116 kg versus the CT 110X's 124 kg, making it easier to handle in tight spaces and at slow speeds. On warranty, both bikes are perfectly matched at 5 years / 75,000 km — the best in this price segment.
Expert Verdict

Buy the Bajaj CT 110X if…
- You ride regularly on gravel, mud or loose rural roads
- Semi-knobby tyres for better off-road traction matter
- A crash guard for underbody protection is important

- Nitrox rear suspension for a smoother, more cushioned ride
- A lighter 116 kg motorcycle is easier to manage daily
- Tubeless tyres for easier puncture repairs on the road

Overall Winner for Most Riders: Bajaj Platina 110. For the majority of Indian commuters riding on city streets and mixed urban roads, the Platina 110's advantages are more relevant day-to-day: superior 200 mm ground clearance, longer suspension travel, Nitrox rear shock absorbers, tubeless tyres for easier repairs, a lighter 116 kg kerb weight and an ARAI-certified mileage figure. Choose the Bajaj CT 110X if you specifically need semi-knobby tyre grip on loose terrain, an LED headlight for better visibility, a crash guard for protection, or the lower ₹68,050 price point.
