Basic Discover 4G is Here
Wednesday, August 19, 2009Overview of Bajaj Discover 100 4G
Discover was launched with a 110cc engine, till Bajaj got into the illusion that 100cc segment was dying in India. Accordingly the Discover was upgraded to 125cc and later fitted with a 135cc mill. Till recently there were rumours that a bigger 150cc Discover was in the pipeline. Now, Bajaj India has launched New Discover 100 4G & according to Bajaj they have launched a 100cc bike to compete with Hero Honda Splendour & Yamaha Crux. But they don't understand that this will not help them in boosting sales. People want new models and latest designs. They have again made a mistake by launching Discover 4G (4 gears) by removing one gear to make the bike affordable by Rs. 1900.00
