Honda is gearing up to introduce the Shine 100 DX in India early next month. This refreshed commuter bike aims to deliver reliable performance, improved comfort, and modern features—all while staying affordable for everyday riders.
What’s New in the Shine 100 DX
The new model retains the trusted 100cc engine but includes thoughtful updates. Expect a revitalized headlamp design, improved suspension for smoother rides, and a smarter instrument cluster. Honda has fine-tuned the overall setup for better usability in urban and semi-urban environments.
Performance and Mileage
Powered by a single-cylinder, 100cc engine known for its efficiency, the Shine 100 DX promises excellent fuel savings. Expect mileage figures in the 75–80 kmpl range under standard riding conditions. The reliable 4-speed transmission has been tuned for fuss-free city commuting.
