Two and three-wheeler manufacturer Bajaj Auto on Monday launched the Discover 125 Sports Tourer(ST), which will be available in the market from the second half of June.
Powered by Bajaj's patented "DTS-iTwin Spark" technology, the four valves engine produces 12.8 PS of power, the highest in the 125cc category. The bike has a five-speed gear box and also comes with monoshock nitrox suspension.
Overall looks of the motorcycles have more than a hint of the Pulsar range and it especially resembles the Pulsar 200NS that is due soon. The new Discover is sportier in terms of design than the previous iterations as the ST moniker in its name suggests and a swept up end can, high tail and silver center panel only accentuate this. The Discover 125 ST will be sold alonside the current model range.
"We believe that the average Indian commuter has to compromise a lot for fuel efficiency. With the Discover ST, we are making a statement that mileage need not come with boring design and outdated features," said K. Srinivas, president, motorcycle business, Bajaj Auto.
Bajaj Auto did not disclose the price of its new offering, but we can expect the new Discover 125 ST to be priced at about Rs 55,000, ex-showroom.
At the launch, Bajaj Auto managing director Rajiv Bajaj said the company planned to launch one Pulsar and Discover every year on the new platforms which have been developed for both the bikes. Bajaj further said that the company will maintain its 20 percent margins and that it won't expand its presence in the 100 cc motorcycle category which will not allow it to have the same margins that it enjoys.
