Honda Motorcycle 100cc Expansion

HMSI has only one product in the 100cc segment - the Shine 100. However, it aims to add another model focusing on customers who prefer style and features. The entry-level bikes like Shine 100 and Hero Spelndor have a huge market potential as they accounted for 46% of the total market sales in FY25 and Honda has only 6% market share. Besides, the current leader, Splendor, has dominated the 100 to 100cc segment with 78% of the total market share. 2025 Renault Triber Teased With New Logo and Design, 7-Seater MPV Set To Launch in India on July 23, 2025; Check Details.

The Shine 100 has become a preferred bike in rural areas, encouraging customers to choose a model besides Splendor. The report mentioned that early in 2025, many rumours hinted that HMSI could be working on an MC100 Classic or the Shine 100 Classic bike. Despite having a good presence in the 125cc and scooter segments, the company now aims to focus on the 100cc segment to rival Hero MotoCorp.
