The all-new Honda Shine 125 2025 continues to uphold the reputation of being India’s most trusted commuter bike. With its updated design, improved engine, and digital console, it’s ready for modern riders who value reliability, fuel efficiency, and low maintenance. The new version comes with an OBD2B-compliant engine, a fresh look, and added features like a USB Type-C port, making it smarter and more practical for today’s busy roads.
Modern and Functional Design
Honda has refreshed the Shine’s design while keeping its practical commuter charm intact. The body panels now get new graphics, while the chrome touches on the exhaust and headlamp area add a premium touch. The compact frame ensures smooth handling in traffic, and the comfortable single-piece seat makes long rides effortless. Available in multiple attractive shades, the Shine 2025 gives off a clean, stylish look without losing its simplicity. The wide rear tire provides better road grip, and the 162 mm ground clearance helps it glide over bumps easily.
Digital Console and User-Friendly Display
One of the biggest updates is the all-digital instrument cluster. It displays real-time mileage, fuel level, gear position, and service reminders in a clear layout. The distance-to-empty feature helps riders plan refueling stops, while the Eco indicator encourages fuel-efficient riding. The new console feels modern and informative, giving the Shine an edge over older commuter designs. Even without Bluetooth, the display feels practical and user-focused.
Reliable Engine and Smooth Ride
At the heart of the Shine 2025 is a refined 123.94cc PGM-FI engine, now meeting OBD2B emission standards. It produces 10.63 bhp and 11 Nm of torque, ensuring smooth acceleration and efficient city rides. The 5-speed gearbox shifts cleanly, making both short and long rides stress-free. Real-world mileage ranges from 55 to 60 km/l, proving ideal for daily commuters. The silent ACG starter ensures quiet ignition, while the telescopic front forks and adjustable rear suspension handle rough roads comfortably.
Safety and Braking
Honda ensures rider safety with a combined braking system (CBS), which distributes braking power evenly between wheels. The Shine offers two variants — drum and disc — allowing riders to choose based on preference. The side-stand engine cut-off is a useful feature for extra safety. The LED headlamp offers excellent illumination at night, ensuring visibility during city and highway commutes.
Comfort and Features
The 2025 Shine makes daily travel more convenient with a USB Type-C charging port placed near the console for easy access. The long, cushioned seat provides comfort for both rider and pillion. The bike also includes tubeless tires, a maintenance-free battery, and quiet engine operation for vibration-free rides. While Bluetooth is missing, the essentials are well-covered for city riders who prioritize comfort and dependability.
Price and Availability
The Honda Shine 125 2025 is priced between Rs. 84,493 and Rs. 89,245 (ex-showroom). On-road prices range from Rs. 98,000 to Rs. 1.05 lakh depending on city and variant. Honda dealerships across India are offering festive discounts and EMI options, making it an affordable and dependable choice. With a three-year warranty and wide service network, ownership remains stress-free and economical.
Final Verdict
The Honda Shine 125 2025 remains one of the most reliable and value-packed commuter bikes in India. With its OBD2B engine, digital dashboard, refined mileage, and updated features, it strikes a perfect balance between tradition and technology. Ideal for office-goers, students, and family riders, the Shine delivers smooth performance, modern looks, and Honda’s legendary trust on every journey.
