If you’re someone who uses a two-wheeler for daily commute and wants that blend of style, comfort, and convenience, the Honda Shine 100 DX might just be your ride. Honda has launched this premium commuter to mark 25 years in India and it’s designed to make your daily ride a little more special.
Let’s break down what makes the Honda Shine 100 DX shine brighter than the rest.
Fresh Looks with a Premium Feel
The Shine 100 DX now looks sharper. Think redesigned headlamp with chrome, sculpted tank with bold Honda branding, sporty new graphics and chrome muffler cover.
It comes in four new colours – Pearl Black, Imperial Red, Blue Metallic and Geny Gray.
Digital Convenience for Daily Rides
The biggest upgrade? A fully digital instrument cluster. Riders now get info like:
- Real-time mileage
- Distance-to-empty
- Service reminders
This adds a whole new level of confidence and ease to your daily commute.
Reliable Engine, Now Smarter
Under the tank you still get the trusted 98.98cc single-cylinder, air-cooled engine, producing 7.28 bhp and 8.04 Nm torque. It’s now OBD2B compliant and features Honda’s eSP tech, giving you smooth power with solid fuel efficiency – expect around 65 kmpl, as per existing Shine 100 owners.
The 4-speed gearbox feels seamless and the bike is light and nimble at just 103 kg.
Comfortable for All Kinds of Roads
Built on a diamond frame, the Shine 100 DX has:
- Telescopic front forks
- 5-step adjustable rear shocks
- Drum brakes with CBS (Combined Braking System)
With a seat height of 786 mm and 168 mm of ground clearance, the Shine 100 DX feels well-tailored for everyday Indian road conditions – from city streets to slightly rough patches.
Smart Safety Features
One thoughtful addition is the side-stand engine cut-off, which prevents the bike from starting if the stand is down – a small but smart touch for everyday safety.
Expected Price and Launch Timeline
The Shine 100 DX is expected to be priced around Rs 72,000 (ex-showroom) and bookings open on August 1, 2025 with deliveries to start soon.
