Bajaj says that the new Discover 125 will compete with the likes of Honda CB Shine, Hero Glamour and Hero Passion Pro (in terms of pricing).

The Discover 125 gets 130mm drum brakes as standard, but you can opt for a 200mm front petal disc for some extra money.

The Bajaj Discover 125 gets as standard Nitrox gas-charged suspension, electric start and DC headlamp. The new Discover is styled similar to the 125ST and looks stylish compared to the other 125cc commuters.

It will be available in six colour options – electron blue, wine red, charcoal magenta, charcoal green, silver blue and silver gold.

Commenting on the launch K Srinivas, president - motorcycle business, said, "Many consumers are tired of the regular commuter bikes which offer only around 8 Ps Power. They would ideally wish to upgrade to sportier, attractive bikes with superior technology and features. However barriers such as price and mileage deter them to move on to the 125cc segment. The all new Discover 125 offers equivalent mileage of a 100cc and comes with exciting performance and features all at an attractive price. We want the Indian commuter to live life to the fullest and "Jiyo Dana-Dan."
