Two new launches to mark 25th anniversary

To mark its 25 years in India, HMSI launched two new motorcycles: the CB125 Hornet and the Shine 100 DX. The CB125 Hornet is designed for city use, offering a street-style look with a focus on everyday performance. The Shine 100 DX, on the other hand, is an updated addition to the Shine range, aimed at buyers looking for a practical and budget-friendly motorcycle. Bookings for both models are now open.

Other convenience features include a USB Type-C charger, side-stand engine cut-off, and front disc brake with single-channel ABS.
