Latest News on Hero Moto Corp Splendor Plus XTEC and Honda Shine

Recently Asked User Questions

Q. Shine 125 or Pulsar 125 or Raider 125 which is the best?
  • Honda Shine comes with better fuel efficiency and a refined engine. The BS6 Shine gets an ACG starter motor, which offers extremely silent, almost noiseless starts and a start/stop switch. Powering the Honda is a 125cc fuel-injected motor that makes 10.7PS of power and 11Nm of torque mated to a new 5-speed transmission. However, The Pulsar 125 does make a lot of sense for a novice rider looking for a motorcycle with a bit of oomph without having to forego one’s entire life savings. It is the most affordable Pulsar on sale right now. And TVS has gone the smarter route, keeping a thrilling ride experience as the USP, instead of a purely commuter-centric approach. Nevertheless, the TVS Raider seems like a solid product and a worthy (and stylish) alternative to the umpteenth Honda Shine. Moreover, we would suggest you take a test ride before making the final decision. Follow the link and select your desired city for dealership details.
Q. Which is more better in mileage Unicorn or Shine?
  • About honda unicorn newly bought bike will give upto 60 kmpl at a constant speed of upto 70 kmph in highway and 45 kmpl in city conditions
  • As of now, there is no official update from the brand's end regarding the mileage of Honda Unicorn and Honda Shine. So, we would request you to wait for an official announcement.
Q. Mere ko bike lena hain konsa lu confuse hu, Honda Splendor or Honda Shine?
  • Selecting between the Hero Splendor Plus and Honda Shine would depend on several factors such as your budget preference on the segment, features required, engine options, brand preference, etc. The Splendor is one of the most iconic motorcycles in India and also one of the best-selling. It has proved itself as a dependable workhorse and is backed by a massive sales and service network. However, it remains to be seen whether the Splendor Plus BS6’s sales success will survive the sizable price hike. Hero Splendor Plus is powered by a 97.2 cc engine that generates a max power of 8.02 PS @8000 rpm and a max torque of8.05 Nm @ 6000 rpm. On the other hand, the Honda Shine makes for an excellent proposition after the BS6 update. It offers a ton of features, a frugal engine with a 5-speed transmission and ACG starter motor which makes life much simpler. If you want a refined and a bit more powerful engine with a better feature list, you may go for Honda Shine. Moreover, we would suggest you take a test ride for a better understanding of comfort and compatibility. You may click on the link and select your desired city for dealership.
