Honda Shine 100 Price & Engine
The Shine 100 is available for Rs 64,900 (ex-showroom, Delhi) and showcases HMSI’s commitment to providing affordable and efficient transportation solutions in India. The 98.98cc engine is derived from Honda’s 110 unit found in the CD 110 Dream model, featuring a similar 47mm bore size. However, Honda emphasizes that numerous internal parts have been modified for this engine. Despite producing 7.38hp, it falls short by 0.6hp compared to the Hero Splendor and HF Deluxe. Nevertheless, it generates the same 8.05Nm of torque at 5,000rpm, albeit 1,000rpm earlier than the Hero motorcycles.
Moreover, HMSI provides a unique 10-year warranty deal (including 3 3-year standard warranty and an optional 7-year extended warranty) for Shine 100 purchasers to guarantee lasting dependability and assurance.
