Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India (HMSI) has expanded its popular 125cc lineup with the launch of the Honda Shine 125 X and Dio 125 X Edition in the Indian market, reinforcing its focus on style, performance, and everyday practicality.
These new editions come with updated features and refreshed aesthetics designed to appeal to young riders and daily commuters alike.
With rising demand in the 125cc segment, Honda’s latest offerings aim to blend efficiency, modern design, and comfortable riding experience, while providing greater value for money.
The Honda Shine 125 Limited Edition and Dio 125 X Edition are expected to strengthen Honda’s position in the competitive commuter and scooter space.
Honda Shine 125 Limited Edition
The Honda Shine 125 Limited Edition stands out mainly due to its refreshed and more premium styling. It is offered in a new Pearl Siren Blue paint scheme, complemented by dark blue body panels and distinctive Shine graphics on the fuel tank.
The design update also includes subtle changes to components such as the front visor, side covers, and rear cowl, giving the motorcycle a fresher and more stylish appearance.
Adding to its premium appeal are brown-finished alloy wheels, which clearly set it apart from the standard Shine 125 Disc variant on which it is based.
On the mechanical front, the Shine 125 Limited Edition remains unchanged. It continues to be powered by a 123.94cc BS6-compliant, air-cooled, single-cylinder engine that produces 10.6 hp at 7,500 rpm and 11 Nm of peak torque at 6,000 rpm.
