The Shine has been one of the most preferred motorcycles in India, known for its smoothness, dependability, and efficiency in fuel consumption. To increase its foothold in the market where value plays the chief role, Shine 125 has been refreshed for the year of 2025.
The 2025 variant of Shine 125 does introduce a few fresh features, and stylistically it does remain true to its previous identity. New graphics and headlamps along with new body panels present a sharper yet sleeker appearance. Addition of new color options, which feature dual-tone finishes, accent its commuter and premium rider appeal.
The 123.94cc single-cylinder engine which lies at the heart of Shine 125, has a reputation to uphold. The engine is known to deliver dependability and efficiency, in the new segment it has to compete in. Its fuel efficiency has been improved thanks to the new eSP technology from Honda, putting it as one of the smoothest options in the motorcycle segment. Budget stricken riders will appreciate the enhanced fuel efficiency as it will result in lowered running costs.
