This updated 2025 guide to best mileage bikes India lists ten commuter-friendly models with strong mileage claims or real-world data, verified where possible. By the end, you’ll know which bikes are genuinely economical and which ones are just marketing.
Below are ten bikes commonly featured in mileage rankings, with their credible data and caveats.
| # | Model | Claimed / Reported Mileage | Notes / Owner Reports |
| 1 | TVS Star City Plus | 83.09 kmpl (as per BikeDekho listing) | This appears in “best mileage bikes” listings. Extraordinary figure likely in ideal conditions. |
| 2 | Hero Splendor Plus XTEC | 73 kmpl (claimed) | Widely cited in mileage lists. |
| 3 | Hero Splendor Plus | ~ 70 kmpl (popular estimate) | Longstanding commuter; often used as baseline in mileage lists. |
| 4 | Hero HF Deluxe | ~ 65 kmpl (claimed / listed) | Common in low-maintenance / mileage lists. |
| 5 | Bajaj Platina 110 | ~ 70 kmpl (claimed) in under ₹1 lakh lists | Frequently appears in low-cost mileage compilations. |
| 6 | TVS Sport (109.7 cc) | 80 kmpl (claimed in Shriram Finance list) | One of the highest claims in sub-₹1 lakh bikes. |
| 7 | Bajaj CT 100 | Highest in some lists: “Bajaj CT 100 secures the first place … as highest mileage bike in India” | Likely ideal-condition claim. Use with caution. |
| 8 | Honda SP 125 | Owner reports ~ 63 kmpl | Real-world average as per owner data. |
| 9 | TVS Raider 125 | 56.7 kmpl (BikeWale spec) | Listed under spec “124.8 cc |
| 10 | TVS Star City Plus / TVS Sport / TVS Radeon | (alternate entries) | Some lists rotate between Star City Plus, TVS Radeon, etc. |

Engine & Performance
These bikes typically use small, air-cooled single-cylinder engines (around 100–125 cc). They are tuned with low friction, conservative cam profiles, lean air–fuel ratios, and in some cases, modest gearing. For example, the TVS Raider 125 is rated at 56.7 kmpl in spec sheets. Meanwhile, Honda SP 125 owners report about 63 kmpl in mixed usage.
High mileage is achieved by reducing parasitic losses (friction, pumping losses), using narrow tires, and minimizing powerdrain accessories.
Chassis & Ride Behavior
To maximize efficiency, these bikes stay light — simple frames, small fuel tanks, minimal fairing. Lower weight means less energy to accelerate in stop-and-go traffic.
Handling is never aggressive: for commuting, stability, comfort, and ease of control matter more than sharp turning capability.
Technology & Features
Few of these bikes are laden with tech. Some have digital displays, gear-shift indicators, or basic fuel injection systems. But most rely on mechanical simplicity to reduce maintenance. Many mileage claims assume ideal conditions: flat roads, no heavy load, well maintained machine, ideal riding style.
Conclusion
This list of best mileage bikes India 2025 highlights models that repeatedly appear in mileage compilations: TVS Star City Plus, Hero Splendor Plus XTEC, Hero Splendor Plus, Hero HF Deluxe, Bajaj Platina 110, TVS Sport, Bajaj CT 100, Honda SP 125, TVS Raider 125 (and alternates like Radeon). Some bikes may not always appear exactly top 10 in every list — rankings vary with claims vs actual data.
If your goal is realism over marketing, prefer bikes like Honda SP 125 (owner-reported ~63 kmpl) or Hero HF Deluxe, where real usage data is available. Use claimed high numbers (80+ kmpl) cautiously, knowing they often reflect ideal conditions. A well maintained mid-range commuter among these will likely serve you best in 2025.
