Honda Motorcycle and Scooter India has finally launched the new Honda Dio 125 X-Edition scooter and Honda Shine 125 limited edition motorcycle in the Indian market, priced from Rs 87,733 and Rs 86,211 (ex-showroom). Interested customers can book both products online or by visiting their nearest dealership, with deliveries expected to begin soon.
Talking about the Shine 125 limited edition first, it’s Rs 1000 more than the standard Shine 125 Disc variant on which it is based and features a new Pearl Siren Blue paint option, finished in a deep blue shade and contrasted by brown tank graphics. Honda has also paired the scheme with pyrite brown alloy wheels, adding a more premium visual appeal. Beyond these cosmetic updates, it remains identical to the Shine 125 Disc in terms of hardware. Power comes from the same 123.94cc air-cooled, single-cylinder engine that develops 10.6bhp and 11Nm of torque. Braking duties are handled by a 240mm front disc and a rear drum, supported by a combined braking system.
Coming to the Dio 125 X-edition, it features an exclusive Pearl Siren Blue and Pearl Deep Ground Grey dual-tone colour scheme with a dark blue finish on the body panels, with the apron getting a grey finish. It also gets bold, contemporary graphics that add a youthful vibe, while the red-painted alloy wheels create a striking contrast against the body colour.
Features-wise, the Dio 125 X-Edition borrows all the features from the H-Smart variant. It gets a TFT display offering smartphone connectivity, enabling turn-by-turn navigation along with call and SMS alerts, and a USB-C charging port. Mechanically, the X-Edition remains unchanged. It continues to be powered by the same 123.92cc air-cooled, single-cylinder engine, delivering 8.19bhp and 10.5Nm of torque.Introducing the new special editions, Mr. Tsutsumu Otani, Managing Director, President & CEO, Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India, said: “At Honda, we continuously strive to bring products that resonate with the aspirations of India’s new-age riders. The all-new Dio 125 X‑Edition and Shine 125 Limited Edition reflect our commitment to offering new expressions of style while upholding the reliability and confidence that customers expect from Honda. These limited editions combine expressive design with Honda’s trusted quality, ensuring that every ride feels confident and effortless.”
