Long story short – If you want a motorcycle that gives good mileage, this guide will help. We compare ten commuter bikes from Bajaj, Hero, TVS, and Honda. You can check their city and highway mileage, starting prices, and features to find a bike that fits your budget and daily needs.
Mileage is important for daily running costs, but it is not the only thing to consider. You should also consider price, comfort, ease of starting, and the features that come with the version you choose.
Key Takeaways
- This guide compares ten commuter-bike model and variant options from Bajaj, Hero, TVS and Honda using database-listed mileage ranges, starting prices and everyday features.
- The mileage ranges in the comparison overlap. The numbering identifies entries; it is not a verified highest-to-lowest mileage ranking.
- The lower mileage number is for city riding, and the higher one is for highway riding. Many users get results between these numbers, so your actual mileage may vary.
- Be sure to compare the exact version of the bike before you decide. Things like how the bike starts, the dashboard, brakes, and other features can be different even within the same model.
- The Splendor Plus XTEC and XTEC 2.0 are different versions of the same model. This list has ten entries, but some are versions of the same bike, not ten completely different motorcycles.
- To find out the mileage, divide the distance you travel by the amount of fuel you use. The next section explains how to do this with regular refills, so you don’t have to run your tank empty.
What Is Bike Mileage, And How Do You Calculate It?
Bike mileage means how far a motorcycle goes on a certain amount of fuel. In India, it’s usually shown as kilometres per litre (km/l). For example, if you travel 280 km using 4 litres of petrol, your mileage is 70 km/l.
How To Check Mileage Using The Tank-to-tank Method
- Refuel to a consistent, safe level following your motorcycle’s owner’s manual. Do not overfill the tank.
- Reset the trip meter or record the odometer reading.
- Ride normally and refuel before reaching the minimum fuel level specified in your motorcycle’s owner’s manual. Do not deliberately run the tank empty to measure mileage.
- Refill to the same level, preferably at the same filling station and dispenser. Record the litres added.
- Divide the distance travelled between refills by the litres added at the second refill.
- For a more representative result, repeat across several refills and divide the total distance by the total litres added.
Mileage (km/l) = Distance travelled (km) ÷ Fuel added at the next comparable refill (litres).
When you compare mileage results, note things like traffic, your route, and if you have a passenger. If you want to know city and highway mileage separately, measure them on similar trips instead of guessing from mixed rides.
Bajaj’s Platina owner’s manual describes the tank-to-tank method in its mileage-checking guidance.
Comparison Scope And Data Sources
This list uses specifications, mileage ranges, starting prices and feature information from the Bikeleague India database. It compares ten commuter-bike model and variant options from Bajaj, Hero, TVS and Honda.
The mileage numbers come from the Bikeleague India database. They are not certified by ARAI, checked by owners, or based on Bikeleague’s own road tests.
Each bike shows a mileage range from the Bikeleague India database. The lower number is for city riding, and the higher one is for highways. Many users get results in between. These numbers are just a guide, not a promise for every rider.
The numbers are just to help you find each bike. They don’t rank the bikes by mileage. The mileage ranges can overlap, and your results will depend on how and where you ride.
The Splendor Plus XTEC and XTEC 2.0 are both versions of the same model. Make sure to compare prices and features for the exact version you are interested in.

Frequently Asked Questions About Mileage Bikes In India
1. What Does Bike Mileage Mean, And How Do You Calculate It?
Bike mileage is the distance travelled per litre of petrol, expressed in km/l. Calculate it by dividing the distance travelled between comparable refills by the litres added at the second refill. See the tank-to-tank instructions above for the full procedure.
2. Which Bike Has The Highest Mileage In This Shortlist?
The Bajaj Platina 100 has the highest highway-mileage reference in this list at 75 km/l, within its range of 65–75 km/l. Other bikes have highway references of 70 km/l. Users also report mileage between the city and highway values. These numbers do not guarantee which bike will give you the best mileage on your route.
3. Are These Arai-certified Or Owner-reported Mileage Figures?
These mileage ranges come from the Bikeleague India database. The lower number shows city mileage, and the higher number shows highway mileage. Users also report results between these values. These are not ARAI-certified figures, owner averages, or Bikeleague road-test results.
4. Can I Choose The Best-mileage Bike By Engine Capacity Alone?
Don’t pick a bike just based on engine capacity. Here, bikes with different engine sizes can have similar mileage ranges. Look at the mileage data, price, comfort, and features of the version you want before deciding.
5. How Can I Improve My Motorcycle’s Mileage?
Ride smoothly, avoid sudden acceleration or braking, and use the right gear for your speed and load. Keep your tyres at the recommended pressure, follow the service schedule, and use the correct engine oil. Don’t let the engine idle for too long, but always follow your bike’s instructions and think about safety before turning it off at a stop.
6. Why Are Two Splendor Plus Xtec Versions Included?
The Splendor Plus XTEC and XTEC 2.0 are different versions of the same model. Both show a mileage range of 60–70 km/l here. Instead of thinking the newer one has better mileage, compare their features and final prices.
7. Are The Listed Prices Ex-showroom Or On-road?
All prices listed are starting ex-showroom prices in Delhi, not on-road prices. Registration, insurance, and other charges are extra. Check the exact variant and ask for a detailed dealer quote before buying.
8. Why Is Mileage Shown As A Range Rather Than A Single Figure?
The mileage ranges are from the Bikeleague India database. The lower number is for city mileage, and the higher one is for highway mileage. Users also report results between these two values.
For example, if a bike is listed at 60–70 km/l, it doesn’t mean it will always give exactly 60 or 70 km/l. Riders often get results between these numbers. The range is just a guide, not a promise for every rider.
