All-new 100cc Engine
At the heart of Shine 100 ticks an all-new 100cc OBD2 compliant PGM-FI engine, boosted by Enhanced Smart Power (eSP) which optimizes energy output by maximizing efficient combustion and minimizing friction with a smooth eco-friendly engine. This new 100cc engine is light weight and efficient with the finest innovation producing optimum performance, enhanced maneuverability, and class leading mileage delivering highest value to customers. External fuel pump fitted outside the fuel tank reduces the maintenance time as it is easily accessible.
- Programmed Fuel Injection (PGM-FI): The system uses onboard sensors to constantly inject optimum fuel and air mixture which aids consistent power output, high fuel efficiency & less emissions.
- Friction Reduction: The piston cooling jet reduces friction & maintains optimum engine temperature. The offset cylinder and use of rocker roller arm further reduce the frictional loss which not only helps in smooth and better power output, but also improves fuel efficiency.
- The Solenoid Valve acting as an automatic choke system ensures rich air fuel mixture and provides the convenience of one time start at any point of time.
