The 2025 Honda Shine 125 Just Launched & What's New In The Model

​Honda Motorcycle and Scooter India is in plans to make its 2-wheelers OBD2B compliant with the upcoming stricter emission norms. The 2025 Shine 125 is the newest 2-wheeler from Honda to receive the OBD2B update along with multiple new features.

What’s new in the 2025 Shine?

The 2025 Honda Shine 125 incorporates a 123.94cc single-cylinder, PGM-Fi engine. The Shine 125 generates a power of 10.80 PS & a torque of 11 Nm. The bike features a 5-speed gearbox. Another interesting feature of the Shine 125 is eSP (Enhanced Smart Power), which is designed to improve both performance and fuel efficiency along with reducing friction to ensure smooth and vibration-free riding.

The other essential features in the Shine 125 include an idling stop system and a USB Type-C charging port. The Shine is also equipped with an AGC starter, which helps the bike start with zero noise and eliminates the engine jolt while starting the bike.

The Shine 125 also receives a fully digital instrument cluster, and the users can conveniently access important information like the gear position indicator, fuel indicator, real-time mileage, eco indicator, and a service due indicator. The fully digital instrument cluster also implements an auto-dimming function, which ensures clear visibility across day & night.
