2018 Bajaj Discover 125 Specifications

The Bajaj Discover 125 gets the same 125cc engine. This churns out 10.5bhp of power and 11Nm of torque. The engine comes mated to a 4-speed gearbox. The shift pattern is one down-five up. There is a toe as well as heel shifter offered. The gear shifts are quite smooth but not the best-in-class.  This engine is a long stroke one. In city riding this helps a lot as one doesn’t have to soft gears often. The Discover 125 now gets long travel suspension at the rear. This helps in making the ride more comfortable.

2018 Bajaj Discover 125 Design

The Discover 125 gets attractive looking body graphics. The new LED daytime running lights embedded inside the headlamp is the highlight and looks classy. Though the headlamp remains of a similar design of the Discover, the LED DRLs make a big difference. The bike looks premium and more desirable as well. The DRLs are bright and the bike is visible from a distance to pedestrians and other vehicle users. This is a very good safety feature as well. This is a category first feature for a 125cc bike. The instrument pod is a combination of digital and analogue.

It looks good and is very clear to read. It adds some sportiness to the bike as well. The taillamp now gets a textured bezel, having chrome at the top. It does add extra flair to the Discover 125. There are bar ends beside the handle grips and the switch gear quality is also good enough. The indicators are clear lens ones and are elongated in design.

There is a black treatment on the lower part of the bike. The engine, exhaust and alloy wheels are painted in matte black colour. This gives it a sporty look and the bike looks meaner. This look is liked by many buyers. There’s no doubt that it looks classier this way. The seat is also quite broad and well-shaped. It gets a dual finish cover which looks quite premium, as seen in higher end bikes.
