The Bajaj Discover a motorcycle made by Bajaj Auto in Chakan, India debuted in 2004. This is the second indigenous bike from Bajaj.
The Discover was the second Bajaj bike (After the Pulsar segment) to come with the six spoke alloys and the patented "exhaus-tec"—basically a resonator that boosts torque at lower rpms. It also employed the Bajaj trademark "dts-i" digital twin spark ignition technology used in the Bajaj Pulsar 150 and 180 dts-i s. At launch, three variants were available:
* Spoke wheels,Drum brake,Kickstart
* Spoke wheels,Drum brake,Selfstart
* Mag wheels,Disc brake,Selfstart
However, during mid 2005, the Discover was made a single variant model. It was revamped with new graphics, black grab-rail, sns(spring in spring) suspension, 130 mm drum brakes, six spoke alloys as standard,selfstart and some engine tweaks predominantly aimed at reducing friction and combustion roar. The Bajaj Discover has been the highest selling 125 cc bike in India since the day of its inception.[citation needed] Despite the fact that it has a notchy gearbox[citation needed] and that it is not very comfortable for tall riders (6 foot plus), it has proven to be a very popular executive commuter.
A 135cc model has recently released which features a front disk brake, auto-start and black alloy wheels. The silver engine has also been powder-coated black in the 135 cc variant.It can be compared same as pulsar 150...except the design,engine specifications are almost similar to pulsar 150
Testimonial to the above facts is that it won the prestigious Overdrive (auto mag) "bike of the year" and "indigenous design of the year" in 2005.[citation needed] It has won critical acclaim from several other noted auto/bike magazines: Autocar India[citation needed], Bike India[citation needed], and Business Standard Motoring[citation needed] in their bike tests.
