Honda Shine Bike: The Honda Shine bike is designed for consumers who want low running costs and high mileage for their daily commutes. Its simple design and robust engine make it a reliable option for people from all walks of life, which is why the Honda Shine has a strong presence in both rural and urban areas.
Design and Styling: Beauty in Simplicity
The Honda Shine has a simple yet attractive design. It’s not sporty, but rather a family-oriented commuter bike. The headlamp with chrome garnish at the front, new graphics on the body, and the wide fuel tank give it a modern look. The seat is long and comfortable, perfect even for a pillion rider. The ground clearance is 162 mm, which allows it to easily navigate potholes on Indian roads.
Weighing just 114 kg, it’s very easy to ride and park. My father says that taking U-turns in the city or maneuvering through traffic has become incredibly easy. Tubeless tires and the Combi Brake System (CBS) enhance safety. Overall, the design is timeless and never goes out of style.

The company has incorporated features such as Bluetooth, smartphone connectivity, call and SMS alerts, navigation or app support, i3S start-stop technology, a 97.2cc air-cooled engine, high mileage performance, an analog instrument cluster, side-stand engine cut-off, a comfortable long seat, a robust tubular frame, front telescopic suspension, rear dual shock absorbers, a drum brake setup, tubeless tires, low maintenance costs, and Hero’s wide service network.
Engine Performance
The new Honda Shine is equipped with a 125cc fuel-injected engine that operates very smoothly. Honda engines are already known for their longevity and reliability, so this bike will serve you for years without requiring much maintenance. The Honda Shine is capable of delivering a mileage of approximately 67 kilometers per liter, which is why this bike is a boon for those looking to save on fuel costs.
Braking System and Suspension
It uses 130mm drum brakes on both the front and rear wheels, and a combined braking system is included for better stability.
Now, talking about the suspension and ride comfort, the company has used telescopic hydraulic shocks at the front and 5-step preload adjustable hydraulic shocks at the rear. These suspensions perform excellently even on rough and uneven roads.
Features and Safety: With a Modern Touch
The new Shine features a digital instrument cluster that displays real-time mileage, distance to empty, gear position, and a service reminder. The silent start (ACG) system allows the bike to start without any noise. Features like a USB charging port, side stand indicator, and engine kill switch make daily use convenient.
For safety, it comes with CBS (Combined Braking System), a front disc brake option, and tires with excellent grip. Honda’s build quality is, as always, top-class – it will last for years without rusting. The service network is spread across India, and maintenance costs are very low.
Price and Options
The new Honda Shine is expected to be launched in the Indian market with a starting price of around ₹1.25 lakh. If you don’t want to pay the full amount upfront, you can bring this bike home with a down payment of just ₹18,000, followed by monthly EMIs of approximately ₹5,195.
