Honda Motorcycle and Scooter India has officially unveiled two exciting new two-wheeler offerings for the Indian market: the Honda Dio 125 X-Edition scooter and the Honda Shine 125 limited edition motorcycle. These launches mark Honda's continued commitment to blending style with reliability, catering to the evolving preferences of modern riders across the country.
Pricing and Availability
The new Honda Dio 125 X-Edition is priced from Rs 87,733 (ex-showroom), while the Honda Shine 125 limited edition starts at Rs 86,211 (ex-showroom). Interested customers can book both products either online or by visiting their nearest Honda dealership. Deliveries are expected to commence shortly, allowing enthusiasts to experience these premium editions on the road soon.
Honda Shine 125 Limited Edition: Premium Aesthetics
The Honda Shine 125 limited edition builds upon the standard Shine 125 Disc variant, priced Rs 1,000 higher. It introduces an exclusive Pearl Siren Blue paint option, featuring a deep blue shade complemented by elegant brown tank graphics. To enhance its visual appeal, Honda has paired this color scheme with pyrite brown alloy wheels, giving the motorcycle a more sophisticated and premium look.
Performance and Hardware
Beyond the cosmetic updates, the Shine 125 limited edition retains the same hardware as the Shine 125 Disc. It is powered by a 123.94cc air-cooled, single-cylinder engine that delivers 10.6bhp of power and 11Nm of torque. Braking is handled by a 240mm front disc and a rear drum, supported by a combined braking system for enhanced safety and control.
Honda Dio 125 X-Edition: Youthful and Tech-Forward
The Honda Dio 125 X-Edition stands out with its exclusive dual-tone color scheme of Pearl Siren Blue and Pearl Deep Ground Grey. The body panels sport a dark blue finish, while the apron features a grey hue. Bold, contemporary graphics add a youthful vibe, and the red-painted alloy wheels create a striking contrast against the body color, making it a visually appealing choice for urban commuters.
Features and Mechanics
In terms of features, the Dio 125 X-Edition borrows all the amenities from the H-Smart variant. It comes equipped with a TFT display that offers smartphone connectivity, enabling turn-by-turn navigation, call alerts, and SMS notifications. Additionally, a USB-C charging port is included for convenience on the go. Mechanically, the X-Edition remains unchanged, powered by the same 123.92cc air-cooled, single-cylinder engine that produces 8.19bhp and 10.5Nm of torque.
