Honda Shine 100 DX unveiled, bookings open from August 1

The Honda Shine 100 DX has been unveiled in India. This marks the second product for the Japanese two-wheeler maker in the 100cc market. With the new product, Honda aims to strengthen further its hold in the 100cc segment, which contributes to about 29 per cent of the total motorcycle market. The bookings for the new motorcycle will commence from August 1.

The Shine 100 DX targets the lower end of the 100cc motorcycle market, which contributes to about 70 per cent of the total 100cc motorcycle segment. The company claims that the new Shine 100 DX has been quintessentially crafted for Indian roads, especially the rural parts of the country.

Honda Shine 100 DX: Design

The new Shine 100 DX gets a refreshed design over the Shine 100. At the front, it gets a newly designed headlamp with chrome garnishing to add a touch of premium appeal. The profile is further defined by a sculpted, wide fuel tank bearing the iconic Honda branding.

The Shine 100 DX also features graphics on the body panels. It gets a long seat aimed at maximum comfort for both rider and pillion. Furthermore, it gets an all-black engine and grab rail to further add a contrast. The Honda Shine 100 DX will be offered in four colour options – Pearl Igneous Black, Imperial Red Metallic, Athletic Blue Metallic and Geny Grey Metallic.

On the hardware front, the Shine 100 DX features telescopic front forks and 5-step adjustable rear shock absorbers. Braking duties are handled by drum brakes at both the ends, complemented by Honda’s Combined Brake System (CBS) for enhanced safety.
