New Honda Motorcycle Registered in Brazil Has a Range of 55 km/l and Low Price That if Manufactured May Be Launched for R$ 8 Thousand
The absolute leader in the motorcycle market in Brazil may be about to take another important step towards dominating the popular motorcycle segment. Honda registered a new Honda motorcycle with the National Institute of Industrial Property (INPI), similar to the Shine 100 model sold in India. What stands out? An impressive consumption of 55 km/l, an economical 100 cc engine, and an expected launch price estimated at R$ 8,100.

New Honda Motorcycle Arrives to Compete with the POP 110i
The affordable Honda motorcycle, if it follows the pattern of the Indian model, will be a new entry-level option for the brand, positioned below the well-known POP 110i. With simple lines and functional design, the project aims to attract consumers looking for economy and reliability in their daily lives.
In India, the Honda Shine 100 has already won over thousands of users thanks to its accessible and efficient proposal. The Indian model is equipped with a single-cylinder engine of 98.95 cm³, 4-stroke, generating 7.2 horsepower and torque of 0.82 kgfm. The transmission features four gears, providing enough performance for urban use.

Shine 100 Targets the Audience Seeking Cost-Benefit
The Shine 100 bets on a lean but efficient setup. Drum brakes, an analog panel, and kick-start reinforce the economic appeal and reduce maintenance costs. The lightweight of the model is another draw: it weighs 16 kg less than the CG 160 Start. The fuel tank has a capacity of 9 liters, which, combined with the consumption of 55 km/l, guarantees over 450 km of range.
According to Indian portal Honda2Wheelers, the Shine 100 is aimed at the audience seeking cost-benefit. In a recent interview, Atsushi Ogata, CEO of Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India, stated: “Our focus is to provide affordable and durable mobility solutions for the audience that needs it most. The Shine 100 is a reflection of this commitment.”
Launch Still Not Confirmed, But Registration Indicates Strong Interest
Although the new Honda motorcycle has been officially registered with INPI, the company has not yet announced a launch date for the Brazilian market. As in other cases, the registration may be preventive. However, the current scenario of high demand for economical models suggests that the motorcycle may hit the stores soon.
It is worth noting that, in India, the model comes with a 10-year warranty in some regions — with 3 years standard and an additional 7 optional.
Shine 100 Achieves Up to 55 km/l and Promises to Be a Success in Brazil, Where the Price of Fuels Remains High
With 7.38 hp at 7,500 rpm, the engine of the Shine 100 may seem modest, but it surprises in terms of economy. It is precisely this balance between power and consumption that makes the Honda motorcycle ideal for urban commuting and short trips.
The Indian model is already a reference among the most economical motorcycles in the world. According to the Times of India, it is the most efficient motorcycle from Honda in the country. This makes it a strong candidate to replicate success in Brazil, where the price of fuels remains high and low-cost individual transport gains more ground.
Comfort and Safety
Even with a simplified setup, the new Honda motorcycle does not overlook essential aspects such as comfort and safety. The Shine 100 features 17-inch alloy wheels, which help ensure stability. Meanwhile, the ergonomic seat and robust suspension system offer comfort even on bumpy streets or longer trips.
These details make the model go beyond its attractive price, delivering a positive riding experience, even for more demanding motorcyclists. For those looking for a reliable, economical, and functional vehicle, the affordable Honda motorcycle promises to be a smart choice.
Price Below
Experts estimate that the motorcycle’s price will be around R$ 8,100. A price lower than that of the Honda POP 110i, currently sold starting from R$ 9,010 (source: Tabela Fipe). This would position the Shine 100 as the cheapest motorcycle from the brand in the country, reinforcing its appeal among consumers seeking economy.
According to Daniel Nunes, an analyst in the automotive sector at Bright Consulting, “the arrival of a model below the POP 110i is strategic to consolidate Honda’s dominance among beginner motorcyclists and delivery riders who prioritize cost-benefit.”
Honda Strategy Targets the Audience Seeking Affordable Mobility
Honda’s decision to register the Shine 100 in Brazil aligns with a clear market trend: the search for more accessible mobility solutions. In a scenario where popular cars exceed R$ 60 thousand and public transport faces challenges, entry-level motorcycles gain prominence.
The Shine 100 emerges as a product aligned with this movement, combining efficiency, low cost, and reliable technology. Even though the model maintains the simple standard of the Indian version, its strategic positioning could represent a game changer for the brand’s entry-level segment in Brazil.
Expectation of Launch and Possible National Production
There is still no confirmation about the local production of the new motorcycle. However, considering Honda’s structure in Manaus, where it already manufactures models like the CG, Biz, and POP, adapting the Shine 100 to the Brazilian assembly line wouldn’t be complex.
If domestic production is realized, the brand could take advantage of tax incentives from the Manaus Free Zone, reducing costs and making the model even more competitive in the national market.
