Honda Shine 100 — Overview

The Honda Shine 100 is a commuter bike available at a price range of Rs. 65,717 - Rs. 71,672 in India. It comes in 2 variants and 9 colours. It is powered by a 98.98 cc BS6 Phase 2B engine and has a user reported mileage of 65 kmpl. With both front and rear drum brakes, the Honda Shine 100 comes with combined braking system on both wheels. The Shine 100 bike weighs 99 kg and has a fuel tank capacity of 9 liters. It develops a power output of 7.28 bhp and a torque of 8.05 Nm.

At just 99 kg with PGM-FI fuel injection standard across both variants, the Honda Shine 100 is quietly the most technically advanced 100cc commuter on sale in India. At Rs 65,717, it undercuts many rivals while delivering a genuine 65+ kmpl in real-world city use - and it does all of this with Honda's 3-year/42,000 km warranty and a nationwide service network that's hard to beat. The 2025 OBD2B update keeps it emissions-compliant without sacrificing anything meaningful, and the new DX variant at Rs 71,672 adds a digital console and sportier graphics for those who want a little extra flair. It isn't the cheapest 100cc bike out there - the Hero HF Deluxe undercuts it by nearly Rs 8,000 - but the Shine 100 makes a strong case that technology and refinement are worth the premium.

Honda Shine 100 Latest Updates

View all

  • Honda 2-Wheelers India (HMSI) posted 17% year-on-year domestic retail growth in April 2026 with 4.84 lakh units; the Shine 100 maintained its 30,000+ monthly unit contribution to Honda's commuter segment dominance.

  • Honda Shine 100 recorded 32,922 units in February 2026 - a 114.35% year-on-year surge - as rural demand for fuel-injected 100cc commuters accelerated, making it one of Honda's fastest-growing models that month.

  • Following GST 2.0 changes, the Honda Shine 100's ex-showroom price in Delhi dropped temporarily to approximately Rs 63,482 from Rs 68,767 before normalising to the current Rs 65,717 as dealers absorbed the transition.

What We Like

  • Excellent fuel efficiency: real-world owners report 65-70 kmpl in city conditions, beating the 55 kmpl ARAI claim
  • Smooth, refined engine - PGM-FI fuel injection makes it noticeably more polished than carburetted 100cc rivals
  • Low maintenance costs backed by Honda's 6,000+ touchpoint service network across India
  • Lightweight 99 kg kerb weight makes it easy to handle in tight city traffic, perfect for daily commuters

What Could Be Better

  • Vibrations creep in above 60 kmph, and there's a noticeable chain clunk when shifting from 3rd to 4th gear
  • Rear suspension is too soft - broken city roads and speed breakers can be jarring for taller or heavier riders
  • Headlights are underpowered; night riding on unlit stretches or highways is genuinely uncomfortable

Editor's Verdict

Should You Buy the Honda Shine 100?

The Honda Shine 100 is the smartest buy in the 100cc segment for riders who value refinement and long-term reliability over rock-bottom upfront cost. Its fuel-injected engine, Honda's service network, and real-world mileage in the 65+ kmpl range make it hard to fault for city commuting. The suspension and headlight are genuine niggles that Honda needs to address, but for the daily office run in Delhi, Mumbai, or Bangalore, this bike delivers exactly what it promises.
