The 100cc version of Discover will sport similar features as seen on Discover 125ST shown above. It will have the same styling as seen on Discover 125ST. We can expect a first in class 100cc monocross suspension motorcycle. It is expected to come with disc brake and latest alloy wheels. The 100cc version will sport a highly fuel efficient and powerful engine which is icing on the cake. It is expected to hit the market by December 2012 with approximate ex-showroom price of Rs. 50,000.
It seems that Bajaj Auto is playing very smart game here. The tremendous response to recently launched Discover 125ST has inspired Bajaj Auto to launch 100cc version. Bajaj Auto has sold 35,000 units of Discover 125ST in the month of September, 2012 which is outstanding considering the motorcycle was launched just four months back. If the 100cc version of Discover 125ST will be accepted in the market, Discover brand will dethrone Splendor from 1st rank.
