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 versions were available:
- Round headlamp,spoke wheels,drum brake
- Fairing,spokes,drum brake
- Fairing, disc ,tacho,elecric start,alloys.
However, during mid 2005, the Discover was made a singe 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, 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.[citation needed]
Recently, a low cost model with a 110cc engine has been launched with mixed success.[citation needed] This has the same body parts, SNS suspension, and other features. It comes with alloy wheels, front & rear drum brakes & no electric start.
Testimonial to the above facts is that it won the prestigious Overdrive (auto mag) "bike of the year" and "indegenous 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.
