Honda Motorcycle India has launched its new 100cc bike, the Honda Shine 100 DX, in India. This bike comes with several new features and a distinct design appeal compared to its sister Shine 100. It competes directly with the best-selling Hero Splendor in the Indian market. Let us give you complete information about this bike’s features and specifications.
Attractive and Stylish Design
To attract customers, Honda has given the Shine 100 DX a very stylish look. The bike has a slightly modern and premium feel. It features a chrome-accented headlamp, a muscular fuel tank, a grab rail, and a wide, single-piece seat that provides comfortable riding. The company has also used modern color tones and graphics to enhance the bike’s appeal. It will be available in showrooms in four vibrant colors – black, gray, blue, and red.
Powerful Features Also Present
The Honda Shine 100 DX features a fully digital LCD instrument cluster, which is a major upgrade. Its display provides important information such as real-time mileage, a digital clock, distance to empty, and a gear position indicator. It also has a side stand cut-off feature, which is standard on modern bikes these days. The bike now also has a larger 10-liter fuel tank, which is 1 liter more than the Shine 100.
Excellent Hardware and Suspension
The bike features telescopic forks at the front and 5-step adjustable twin shock absorbers at the rear, perfect for Indian roads. Braking is handled by drum brakes at both the front and rear, which come with a combination braking system. The Shine 100 DX comes with 17-inch alloy wheels, which give it a sporty look.
Engine and Powerful Performance
The Honda Shine 100 DX is powered by a 98.98cc, single-cylinder, air-cooled engine that produces 7 hp of power and 8.04 Nm of torque. It comes with a 4-speed gearbox and offers both self-start and kick-start options. The Shine 100 DX is expected to deliver an impressive fuel economy of 55-60 km/l, making it an excellent choice for everyday use.
Competition
Honda has launched the Shine 100 DX to directly compete with the Splendor. It will also compete with bikes like the Hero HF Deluxe, Bajaj CT100X, and TVS Sport 110, making the competition even more exciting.
