Honda Shine Celebration Edition: details

The Shine Celebration Edition gets several cosmetic additions like snazzier graphics, a golden Honda wing emblem, celebration edition badge on the tank top and a new brown seat. These changes are akin to the road Honda has gone down with the Activa Premium and the standard Activa 6G.

The Celebration Edition sports the same underpinnings as the proven Shine, which is no bad thing. It is powered by a 123.94cc single-cylinder engine making 10.6hp and 11Nm. Nestling this mill is a diamond type frame suspended by a telescopic fork and twin hydraulic rear shock absorbers. The bike is available in two trims, one with a 130mm drum and another one with a 240mm disc at the front; the rear brake is a 130mm drum on both. Rivals to this bike include the Hero Super Splendor 125 and the recently launched Bajaj CT 125X.
