After the huge success of Discover 100, Pulsar 220 and recently launched Pulsar 135, Bajaj India has launched another variant of Discover. This time it is Discover 150. “Discover 100 took market by a storm with its launch in July, 2010. In this short span of time the Discover 100 is already one of the largest selling models in the motorcycle market with current volumes averaging 75,000 per month. With the new Discover 150, we are instilling a fresh momentum and adding riding excitement to the overall Discover portfolio,” Mr. S. Sridhar, CEO, Bajaj Auto said. He further added, “That the new Discover is all set to be a pleasure to the commuter’s pocket both in terms of purchase as well as operating cost”.

Design & Styling of Bajaj Discover 150 - A Big Disappointment
In terms of design and styling it was expected that Discover 150 will carry all or some of the design cues we have seen in the Discover Sprint concept which was on display at the 2008 Auto Expo in New Delhi. But bajaj has disappointed the bike lovers as they have kept the design very simple and basic which looks more or less same like the Discover 100. Bajaj Discover 150 features LED tail lamps, nitrox suspension, front disc brake, electric start and wider rear tyre.
