2025 Honda Shine 125: Updated engine

The new Shine 125 gets a very important engine update which is now OBD2B compliant. The 123.94cc single-cylinder engine paired with a 5-speed gearbox makes 10.63 bhp and 11 Nm of peak torque. This unit is also equipped with an idling stop/start system which enhances fuel efficiency.  For the uninitiated, all vehicles sold post 1 April 2025 need to comply with the OBD2B norms which allows them to run on E20 ethanol blended fuel.

The Shine 125 uses telescopic front forks and dual rear springs while the braking setup comprises disc brakes at the front for the top-spec variant and drum brake in the base variant. Rear brakes on both variants are drum units.
