2025 Honda Shine 100 : Honda has once again set its sights on the heart of the commuter motorcycle segment with the introduction of the new Honda Shine 100 for 2025. Designed for the daily rider who values reliability above all, this motorcycle promises a blend of practicality, comfort, and renowned Honda engineering, making every journey through bustling city streets a smooth and dependable experience.
A Timeless and Practical Design
Leaving behind trendy design, the Shine 100 scales back to a no-nonsense, practical look and feel. It features a smart looking long and comfortable seat for the rider + pillion, stylish fuel tank & overall neat dimensions. This practical design is not just skin deep, though – with it manifesting in a bike that’ll dash through tight traffic jambs and packed lanes and corners like a hot knife through butter. Add to this the reliable, non-wiggly handling – thanks to 168 mm ground clearance for a comfortable ride over uneven roads and 1,245 mm wheelbase making it sure-footed under all circumstances – and you have with you the perfect machine to just trust.
Reliable Performance for Everyday Rides
Powering the Shine 100 is a tried and tested 99.98cc single-cylinder air-cooled engine. The 4-stroke motor is tuned more for refinement and rideability than performance, with an output of 7.3bhp and 8.05Nm of torque. One of those is the application of Honda’s PGM-FI (Programmed Fuel Injection) system, providing near seamless throttle response and dependable operation in cold weather. Combined with an uncomplicated 4-speed constant mesh transmission, the ride is unalloyed and ideal for the to-and-fro’ing of city surfaces.
Impressive Fuel Economy that Saves Money
Today, fuel efficiency is the need of the day and here’s where the Honda shines. Featuring an efficient engine coupled with fuel-injection, the Yamaha FZS Bike offers a great mileage of around 55 km/l under standard test conditions, which makes it quite economical and cuts back significantly on running costs for riders who have to commute regularly to work or run errands daily, or occasionally like to ride out for weekend outings.
Safety, Technology and Peace of Mind
It uses good old drum brakes on the front and rear wheels, which should be enough to stop you at city speeds. They are a pair of 2.75-17 front and 3.00-17 rear tyres which provide the Castrol Mach in the city town a fine line between grip n fir handling on both tarmac n uneven road conditions. Besides all the fundamental features, Honda has added its Enhanced Smart Power (eSP) feature which performs as an integrated dynamic design of engine and transmission to produce better acceleration and reduce friction to deliver optimum power & torque balance. We didn’t know what it meant either, but after a brief Google search we discovered that OBD2B is an emissions standard introduced in the 21st century which enables more accurate diagnosis and maintenance of bikes to allow them to be greener.
It also has the stamp of peace of mind from Honda in terms service. The battery gets a warranty of 18 months or 20,000 km and also provides three free services that are offered at specific periods of time, as well as after particular kilometre usage so the bike continues running at its best from day one.
An Accessible Choice for the Everyday Rider
Available at an ex-showroom starting price of around ₹68,767 (which takes the on-road price to about ₹74,136 in Delhi), the Honda Shine 100 neatly writes itself as a highly accessible and well-packaged deal. It is thoughtfully designed for customers in urban and semi urban locations who are looking for reliable-yet-affordable form of personal commuting.
Final Impressions
The 2025 Honda Shine 100 is one of the impressive options in the commuter motorcycle segment. It might not be fancy, but its hallmarks are dependability, reliable fuel economy and appealing ergonomics as well as the good graces and name recognition of its parent company. The Shine 100 is certainly a practical and nimble companion for anyone who has an everyday destination that needs getting to.
