Hero Splendor Plus vs Honda Shine 100 DX Comparison: Price, Specs, And More
Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India is attempting to renew its presence in the highly demanded commuter segment with the launch of the Shine 100 DX. Being in a highly competitive segment, this new motorcycle in the Japanese manufacturer's lineup seems to be stepping on the toes of some of the best-sellers in the country, including the Hero Splendor Plus. While the latter has been the uncrowned king in the segment, the new entrant seems like a promising candidate. To help consumers choose between the two motorcycles, here's a comparison: Hero Splendor Plus vs Honda Shine 100 DX: Design The Hero Splendor Plus carries the same look and appeal that it initially had. However, the brand has made efforts to improve it by consistently upgrading the paint scheme and the livery of the bike. With the familiar slim body, the bike gets a 3D logo and Splendor+ badge finished in chrome. It offers a total of five colour options: Sports Red Black, Black Red Purple, Force Silver, Black Heavy Grey, and Blue Black. In contrast, the Honda Shine 100 DX features a big headlamp with chrome embellishment, all encased in a plastic body. It boasts a rather thick-looking fuel tank that seamlessly integrates with the single-piece seat, enhancing the bike's overall look. This is further enhanced by four color options provided by the manufacturer: Pearl Igneous Black, Imperial Red Metallic, Athletic Blue Metallic, and Geny Gray Metallic. Hero Splendor Plus vs Honda Shine 100 DX: Features The Hero Splendor Plus comes with an analog meter. However, the consumers who wish to have a digital instrument cluster and get Splendor Plus XTEC, which offers Bluetooth connectivity, SMS alert, mileage indicator, and more. In line with the design, the manufacturer includes a fully digital LCD instrument cluster on the bike. This display provides essential information such as real-time mileage, distance to empty, digital clock, and more. Hero Splendor Plus vs Honda Shine 100 DX: Hardware Both bikes feature telescopic front forks and five-step adjustable twin-shock absorbers at the rear. Similarly, the braking system consists of drum brakes at both the front and rear for the two motorcycles. Additionally, the bikes are equipped with tubeless tires on both ends, the only difference being that the Shine comes with 17-inch wheels while the Splendor has 18-inch units. Hero Splendor Plus vs Honda Shine 100 DX: Powertrain The Hero Splendor Plus is based on a tubular double cradle frame. It houses a 97.2 cc single-cylinder air-cooled engine producing 7.9 hp of power at 8,000 rpm and 8.05 Nm of peak torque at 6,000. This power is routed to the wheel via a 4-speed transmission with a multiplate wet clutch. Constructed on a diamond-type frame, the Honda Shine 100 DX is powered by a 98.98 cc single-cylinder engine that generates 7 hp at 7,500 rpm and a maximum torque of 8.04 Nm at 5,000 rpm. It operates with a four-speed transmission paired with a multiplate wet clutch. Riders have the choice between self-start and kick-start options.

Honda CB125 Hornet vs Hero Xtreme 125R: Which 125cc streetfighter makes more sense?
Honda has officially unveiled the CB125 Hornet in India, targeting the growing segment of stylish 125cc commuter bikes. While prices are yet to be revealed, expected on August 1, it's clear that the CB125 Hornet will go head-to-head with one of the most feature-packed options in the category, the Hero Xtreme 125R . Here's how the two stack up on paper across specifications, features and hardware: Honda CB125 Hornet vs Hero Xtreme 125R: Engine and performance Both bikes fall in the premium 125cc category, but they offer slightly different tuning. The Honda CB125 Hornet is powered by a 123.94cc, air-cooled, single-cylinder engine paired with a 5-speed gearbox. It generates 11 bhp at 7,500 rpm and 11.2 Nm at 6,000 rpm.

It produces slightly more power, 11.24 bhp, but at a higher 8,250 rpm, with torque rated at 10.5 Nm at 6,500 rpm. Honda CB125 Hornet vs Hero Xtreme 125R: Features and technology Honda is going all-out in terms of features for the CB125 Hornet. It comes with full-LED lighting, a stylish twin-LED headlamp with LED DRLs, a 4.2-inch TFT screen with Bluetooth via Honda RoadSync, USB Type-C charging, an engine stop switch, and a side-stand engine cut-off. Meanwhile, the Hero Xtreme 125R also gets full-LED lighting and Bluetooth support via a digital display, but it uses a simpler digital cluster compared to Honda's TFT unit. However, it scores with a segment-first single-channel ABS, enhancing safety. Honda CB125 Hornet vs Hero Xtreme 125R: Suspension and braking Suspension setup and braking performance are key differentiators. The CB125 Hornet features segment-first golden USD front forks and a 5-step adjustable mono-shock. Braking is handled by a 240mm petal disc up front and a 130mm drum at the rear. It rides on wide tubeless tyres with an 80/100-17 section at the front and a 110/80-17 section at the rear. In contrast, the Hero Xtreme 125R uses 37mm conventional telescopic forks and a hydraulic monoshock. It also gets a 240mm unit up front, but surprisingly, it's a drum brake instead of a disc. It runs on slightly wider tyres, 90/90-17 at the front and 120/80-17 at the rear. Honda CB125 Hornet vs Hero Xtreme 125R: Price and value The Hero Xtreme 125R is priced starting at ₹98,000 (ex-showroom), making it one of the most affordable premium 125cc bikes in the country. On the other hand, Honda has not yet revealed the price of the CB125 Hornet, but it's likely to be in the same ballpark, perhaps with a slight premium considering its feature set. If you're looking for aggressive styling, premium hardware like USD forks and a modern TFT display, the Honda CB125 Hornet appears to offer more for the enthusiast. On the other hand, if safety, affordability, and proven reliability are your top priorities, the Hero Xtreme 125R holds its ground strongly with ABS and a lower price tag. The final verdict will depend heavily on the CB125 Hornet's pricing. Stay tuned for the official announcement on August 1. Check out Upcoming Bikes In India. First Published Date:
