New Delhi | February 2026: Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India (HMSI) has officially expanded its premium scooter lineup with the launch of the 2026 Honda Dio 125 X-Edition. Priced at ₹87,733 (ex-showroom, Delhi), this new special edition is specifically designed to appeal to Gen-Z riders with its bold “Cyber Drift” aesthetic and advanced feature suite.

The ‘Cyber Drift’ Aesthetic: What’s New?
