Honda motorcycle and scooter india (HMSI) has launched the 2025 shine 100 in india at Rs 68,767 (ex-showroom, Delhi).
2025 Honda shine 100 Design: The 2025 Shine 100 sports an elegant design language inspired by big brother Shine 125. It features refreshed graphics on the body panels along with the Honda logo. Its appealing front cowl, blacked-out alloy wheels, practical aluminum grab rail, long and comfortable single-piece seat, and sleek muffler complement the smooth style of the motorcycle while enhancing convenience for everyday commuting.
Look at the meter console, and then here being a starting segment bike, we won't get any digital console; we will get a speedometer, we will get an odometer, and we will get a fuel indicator, but we will not get a tripmeter in this. I think it would have been fun if we could get a small trip meter with analog, and that too at the same price.
Apart from this, look here, you will get the same old switches that are there; the new replacement company is not doing anything in this; all the companies provide you the same old switches. Shine 100 is a competitor bike of Splendor Plus; people are thinking about Shine 100 instead of buying Splendor Plus, but feature-wise it is lagging behind a bit. This fact is not hidden from anyone. Here you get a self-switch; in this facility of kick and self, both are available, and also its fuel tank has an E20 sticker, which means you can fill ethanol-mixed petrol in it in the future.

Performance: Well, if I talk about the engine, in this you get a 98.98 cc, single-cylinder, air-cooled, fuel-injected engine. Mated to a four-speed manual gearbox, the maximum power you get is 5.43 kW, which is sufficient, and the torque is 8.04 newton meters, so see, the power and torque are such that if you ride this bike alone and go on hilly places, you won’t have much problem climbing the hills, but if you are with a pillion, then definitely you will have a problem; you should keep this in mind.
Riding posture and comftirtablity: If I talk about seating comfort, if you have to ride in the city, then this bike will not give you any trouble at all. If you have to ride on the highway also, then it means more that all these are small segment bikes, so you should not try to ride on it for very long distances. It will work no matter what, but you will have to pay a little attention to the styling.
Braking: If I talk about the tire profile or brakes, there is no disc in it; there is a 130mm drum brake in the front, and what you can see at the back is an 110mm drum brake, and it gets CBS, that is, a combi brake system. When you apply the rear brake, the front brake will also be applied along with it, which will give you a good experience of braking and will also generate confidence. It has 17 x 17 inch tube tires.
Variant and colours: Let's start and know one thing about it. Tell me how you like this color concept. The 2025 Shine 100 will be sold in India in just one variant and a total of five colors. which cater to the different preferences of the rider; they are black with red, black with blue, black with orange, black with grey, and black with green.

Miledge: One of your biggest questions is regarding mileage, so let me tell you clearly: in this you will always be able to earn a mileage of 55 plus, that is, above 55, but it depends; some people die at just 55, and some people manage to earn up to 65, so see, if you drive it at eco speed, then no doubt it will give you good mileage because it does not have a very big engine, there is not much power output, and there is not much torque output; that is why you drive single and you have good ride quality, then you will earn a good mileage.
Verdict: Now let me tell you one thing about Shine: if you tell me its on-road price If your budget is up to 75000 or 80000, then you will surely get this bike on the road, so look, there is a budget bike that comes with Splendor Plus; it is more expensive than this, and definitely it has a few more features, but this one is cheaper than that, hence you can consider it, but do take a test ride; if you find it right, then only take it, and keep in mind, if you have any doubts, then ask us in the comments.
