Hero Super Splendor
The Hero Super Splendor has long been a top choice among working professionals. The biggest reason for its popularity is its highly dependable 124.7 cc engine and its no-frills simplicity. This motorcycle promises a long life and durability without any unnecessary extras. Thanks to its upright seating position and comfortable single-piece seat, riders don't suffer back or shoulder pain even on long office routes or while stuck in traffic jams.
For office-goers, its mileage is the single biggest advantage. Hero's i3S (Idle Start-Stop) technology automatically switches off the engine at traffic lights, leading to substantial fuel savings. Its maintenance and spare-parts costs are among the lowest in the market. If you want a simple, sturdy and affordable bike that will serve you for years without any complaints, this is the best option. Its ex-showroom price starts at ₹81,068.
Honda Shine 125
This is the best-selling and most trusted bike in the segment. Its standout feature is its ‘silent start’ and the remarkable smoothness of its engine. When you set out for the office in the morning, its engine fires up without any noise or vibration. Even in heavy traffic, its gear shifting and clutch work so smoothly that the rider feels no fatigue at all.
The bike's looks are quite professional and classy, suiting working professionals of every age. Its 124 cc eSP engine is not only powerful but also easily delivers an excellent mileage of roughly 60 to 65 km per litre. Its resale value in the market is very high. For those who want a hassle-free, premium and quiet riding experience for their office commute, there is no better option than the Shine. Its starting ex-showroom price is ₹81,502.
TVS Raider 125
If you're young, or want a sporty look and the latest features in your bike alongside your office commute, then the TVS Raider 125 is perfect for you. Its modern design, robotic LED headlight and muscular fuel tank set it apart at first glance. Its engine is quite refined and picks up good speed in very little time, making it easy to cut through traffic when you're in a hurry to reach the office.
When it comes to features, this bike is nothing short of a gadget. It gives you two riding modes (Eco and Power), which you can switch according to traffic conditions. In addition, features like Bluetooth connectivity, a digital console and turn-by-turn navigation make office routes easier. Thanks to the comfortable monoshock suspension, the bike delivers an excellent and stable ride even on bad roads and over potholes. It can be bought at a starting ex-showroom price of ₹82,810.
Bajaj Pulsar 125
This one is built for those who want to enjoy a big sports bike on a small budget. Its chassis and muscular body are just like those of its sibling (the Pulsar 150), giving it a very commanding presence on the road. During the office commute, this bike gives you a solid and heavy feel, keeping it fully under control even at high speeds on the highway or open roads.
Its 124.4cc engine generates the most power on this list (11.8 PS), making it extremely fun to ride. Its clip-on handlebars and split-seat variants give it a sporty look. However, due to its heavier weight its mileage may be slightly lower than the other three bikes — but if your priority is looks, style and power, the Pulsar 125 will make your office commute exciting. Its ex-showroom price starts at ₹92,111.
