Honda Shine 100 vs Hero HF Deluxe: Price and specs comparison
Honda Shine 100 is the latest entrant in the high-in-demand 100 cc commuter motorcycle segment in the Indian two-wheeler market. Despite conquering the scooter segment with its widely popular Activa range of models, Honda has never been able to grab the top spot in the Indian two-wheeler market, which is the largest in the world. Its erstwhile partner and homegrown two-wheeler manufacturer have been topping the chart with the Splendor series. Adding to that, the Hero HF Deluxe too is another model in the same segment, which is expected to give the newly introduced Honda Shine 100 tough competition.
Priced at ₹64,900 (ex-showroom, Mumbai), the Honda Shine 100 sits right around the middle of the pack in the 100 cc segment. The Hero HF Deluxe is the most affordable model in the segment, which also comprises two other motorcycles: Hero Splendor Plus and Bajaj Platina.
