Marking 25 years in India, Honda Motorcycle and Scooter India unveiled the all-new Honda Shine 100 DX, sharing the spotlight with the CB125 Hornet. Bookings for the new model commence on August 1, 2025, when pricing details will be officially revealed later that day.
Design and Styling
The Honda Shine 100 DX refreshes the brand’s commuter motorcycle segment with refined styling and practical new design elements. The newly styled headlamp gleams with chrome accents, and body graphics significantly enhance the visual charm of the sculpted fuel tank bearing the Honda emblem. A chrome-finished muffler cover, blacked-out engine, and grab rail lend it a premium, stylish street presence.
Features and Technology of Honda Shine 100 DX
With an ergonomic seat built for long-distance comfort and the segment’s first digital LCD cluster, the Shine 100 DX raises the bar in the 100cc category. A side-stand engine cut-off system adds safety, while the modern console displays real-time fuel efficiency and service alerts accurately.
Engine and Performance
The Shine 100 DX packs a 98.98cc single-cylinder fuel-injected engine at its core, delivering 7.28bhp at 7500 rpm and 8.04Nm torque at 5000 rpm. Honda’s Enhanced Smart Power technology boosts engine performance in conjunction with a 4-speed gearbox, ensuring smoother throttle response and reduced friction, resulting in better mileage.
Chassis, Suspension & Braking
Riding on a robust diamond-type frame and 17-inch tubeless tyres, the Shine 100 DX offers superior road grip and dependable durability. Telescopic front forks are utilized, and twin shock absorbers positioned at the rear are 5-step adjustable, offering comfort on rough terrain. Drum brakes at both ends handle braking duties effectively, with 130mm front brakes and 110mm rear ones supported by Honda’s Combined Braking System. Ground clearance measures a generous 168mm.
Colour Options
With the Shine 100 DX, Honda expands its 100cc lineup, offering four eye-catching hues: a bold black with a pearlescent touch, a rich metallic red, a sporty electric blue, and a refined smoky grey.
Conclusion
Cutting-edge tech merges with sleek design and intuitive functionality, meeting the needs of modern Indian bike enthusiasts. This new model takes on rivals like the Bajaj CT100 and Hero HF Deluxe with considerable gusto.
