Honda Shadow Phantom 2025: ₹7.50 Lakh Retro Cruiser with 745cc V-Twin, Bold Matte Black
Imagine cruising Mumbai's Marine Drive, your bike's matte black stealth and V-twin rumble turning heads at the pav bhaji stall. The Honda Shadow Phantom 2025, Honda's refreshed mid-weight cruiser, starts at ₹7.50 lakh ex-showroom in India, blending classic American style with modern updates for Delhi's long-haul riders. With a liquid-cooled 745cc V-twin, dual-channel ABS, and enhanced suspension, it's a hit for Pune's enthusiasts. I caught this online, and bhai, it's like Honda's scripted a desi retro thriller! Here's why the Shadow Phantom rules India's roads.
Design That’s Stealthy and Striking
The Shadow Phantom's bold matte black finish and blacked-out components give a sleek, aggressive cruiser vibe, measuring 2,440mm long, 845mm wide, and 1,125mm tall, with a 1,645mm wheelbase for stable highway runs. Its redesigned alloy wheels, revamped exhaust, and minimalist panels enhance the classic silhouette. The 690mm seat height suits shorter riders in Kolkata's traffic. My mate in Chennai says, "It's a shadow ninja—folks at the dosa stall think it's pure menace!" At 250kg with 130mm ground clearance, it's plush yet agile for light touring.
Engine That Pulls Smooth
A 745cc liquid-cooled SOHC V-twin engine delivers 45 hp at 5,500 rpm and 62.4 Nm at 3,500 rpm, paired with a 5-speed gearbox for effortless low-end torque. Hitting 0-100km/h in 7 seconds with a 160km/h top speed, it returns 25-30kmpl mileage—saving ₹5,000-7,000 yearly on fuel versus 20kmpl cruisers at ₹100 per litre. The refined rumble suits Bangalore's mixed roads, with minimal vibrations for long hauls.
Features That Comfort and Control
A digital-analog cluster displays speed, fuel, and gear position, while USB charging keeps devices juiced. Dual-channel ABS with 296mm front and 180mm rear discs ensures confident stops on Jaipur's wet twists. Telescopic forks (120mm travel) and twin rear shocks (90mm travel) soak up Mumbai's bumps. Chennai's riders love the side-stand cut-off and LED lighting, but some miss traction control. It's a touring essential with cruiser soul.
Built for India's Rides
With 1,000+ Honda centers, maintenance is ₹2,000-3,000 yearly. On-road prices hit ₹8.5-11 lakh, with EMIs from ₹15,000 per month, ₹50,000 downpayment. Book at honda2wheelersindia.com or dealers now. Matte Black's the vibe!
