This commuter motorcycle is equipped with key functional features such as a digital meter, alloy wheels, and a wide 10-litre fuel tank which adds to its practicality for long rides. The Shine 100 DX offers four vibrant colour options that cater to a younger demographic looking for style along with substance.
