Honda Motorcycle & Scooter india (HMSI) has launched two refreshed 125 cc special‑edition models — the Dio 125 X‑Edition and the Shine 125 Limited Edition — aimed at giving its popular commuter lineup a fresh, more expressive look without changing the core mechanical attributes. Both models are now open for bookings and will be available at dealerships from the second week of February 2026.
🛵 Dio 125 X‑Edition: Bold, Youthful and Sporty
🎨 Striking New Visual Persona
The Dio 125 X‑Edition stands out with a bold dual‑tone paint scheme — Pearl Deep Ground Grey with Pearl Siren Blue — and exclusive X‑Edition graphics across the body panels.
Coloured alloy wheels in eye‑catching tones and matte finish further enhance its sporty appeal.
🆕 Updated Styling, Same Performance
The updates are primarily visual and cosmetic, so the scooter retains its familiar 123.9 cc, air‑cooled, single‑cylinder engine with smooth performance and fuel injection.
Mechanicals — such as chassis, suspension and braking — remain unchanged, focusing on reliability and everyday usability.
💰 Price & Positioning
The Dio 125 X‑Edition is priced at ₹87,733 (ex‑showroom, Delhi).
It’s positioned as a fresh and expressive choice in the 125 cc scooter segment — especially appealing to young riders and city commuters who want standout styling without a premium price.
🏍️ Shine 125 Limited Edition: Clean, Premium & Minimalist
🎨 Refined Styling with Subtle Details
Unlike the X‑Edition’s bold character, the Shine 125 Limited Edition adopts a clean, minimalist design philosophy with refined graphics that elevate the bike’s premium appearance.
Offered in a Pearl Siren Blue colourway paired with pyrite brown finished alloy wheels, the motorcycle gains a sophisticated yet understated look.
🆕 More Elegant, Same Trusted Mechanics
The Limited Edition retains the same trusted mechanicals as the standard Shine 125 — known for its comfortable ride, dependable performance and everyday practicality.
There are no changes to the engine or feature set; the focus is entirely on enhancing aesthetic appeal.
💰 Price & Appeal
The Shine 125 Limited Edition is priced at ₹86,211 (ex‑showroom, Delhi).
