What to expect from Honda 100cc Hero Splendor rival launch

Delhi : On March 15, 2023, Honda Motorbike and Scooter India will add a new 100cc Hero Splendor challenger to its lineup. Although the manufacturer has been mum on the specifics of this motorcycle, the official teaser trailers have provided some information.

For instance, the launch invitation suggests that this product will have a "shining future" and suggests that the CB Shine brand may be used to market it. The Honda CB Shine is now Honda Motorcycle and Scooter India's second best-selling product. Another teaser film provided a look at the future 100cc motorcycle's appearance. The stylistic cues were a bold headlamp with a bikini fairing, a wide and pulled-back handlebar, and an aggressive body design, a side-mounted exhaust and a single-piece seat. The style actually resembled that of the 125cc CB Shine.

If the corporation wants to launch this product at a competitive price, we may anticipate seeing hardware that is affordable. Drum brakes will likely be used on both wheels in the base models, while a disc brake might be available in the more expensive model. The safety net must to have a combined braking mechanism, just like the rivals. The suspension system will have twin-sided rear springs and telescoping front forks.

There are currently no published facts regarding the mechanical characteristics. It is safe to presume that this motorcycle will be equipped with a 100cc single-cylinder, air-cooled engine, nevertheless. We anticipate that the power and torque output numbers will be comparable to those of its main competition, the Hero Splendor. The maximum output and peak torque of this forthcoming Honda commuter could be close to 8 bhp and 8 Nm, respectively.

When it is released, this motorbike will compete in the Indian market against the Hero Splendor, TVS Radeon, and Bajaj Platina.
