Discussions and Questions Bajaj Discover 125 Disc Brake
Is the Bajaj Discover 125 Disc Brake good for daily commuting in heavy traffic?
29 January 2025 06:51
Absolutely. In heavy traffic, sudden braking situations happen all the time, and the disc brake gives you much more confidence than the drum brake. Worth every penny.
In real city conditions, how does the Bajaj Discover 125 Disc Brake's fuel efficiency compare to its competitors?
29 January 2025 06:51
It's right in line with the majority of 125cc bikes I've ridden. The real advantage is that you have a larger fuel tank, meaning fewer fill ups.
Is the Bajaj Discover 125 Disc Brake a bike worth customizing and modifying?
29 January 2025 06:51
A good mod list for this bike is practical mods: better tires, a more comfortable seat, perhaps a gear indicator. Maintains the commuter spirit, but the ride is better.
Is the extra cost of the Bajaj Discover 125 Disc Brake justified?
29 January 2025 06:51
Absolutely worth it. You have much better control with the disc brake, even in the wet. I've had both versions and there is night and day difference in braking confidence.
How is long distance touring on a Bajaj Discover 125 Disc Brake compared to other bikes of its class?
29 January 2025 06:51
It is a great tourer for the price. All you need to do is add a small windscreen and some soft luggage and you’re good to go. I have done weekend trips with no issues.
