Discussions and Questions - Bajaj Discover 100 Bajaj Discover 100
Was Discover 100T too early in the Indian market?
29 January 2025 07:34
That was ahead of its time, but that’s not always a good thing. But the market wasn’t willing to pay a premium for a high tech 100cc.
How reliable is the long term of the Bajaj Discover 100T compared to other Bajaj models?
29 January 2025 07:34
After 40,000 km it is a nightmare: electrical issues, engine noise, anything you can think of. Stick to simpler Bajaj models.
So, why did Bajaj stop the Discover 100T, even though it was so popular?
29 January 2025 07:34
The reason I reckon is because people started moving to either basic 100cc bikes or more powerful 125cc+ bikes. The 100T sat awkwardly in the middle.
Does the Discover 100T’s monoshock rear suspension actually do anything?
29 January 2025 07:34
That depends on how you ride. You might not notice if you are a sedate commuter. You can push it a bit and the difference is clear.
Is the Bajaj Discover 100T the 'Ultimate 100cc' bike?
29 January 2025 07:34
Launched with a lot of fanfare, it was revolutionary at the time, but Bajaj didn't update it enough over the years. A missed opportunity to keep it ultimate.
Is the Bajaj Discover 100M a city commuter or is it comfortable enough for long rides?
29 January 2025 07:29
People don’t give it enough credit, it’s more capable. Did a 1000km trip last year. Was it the most comfortable? No. It was super efficient, but it got the job done.
What is the Bajaj Discover 100M like to ride in wet conditions compared to its competitors?
29 January 2025 07:29
I ride as a food delivery rider, and I rely on my Discover every day, rain or shine. It’s reliable enough, but you have to be extra careful and smooth with inputs when it is wet.
Is modifying the Bajaj Discover 100M for better performance actually worth it or is it a waste of money?
29 January 2025 07:29
I’ve seen some crazy Discover builds with big bore kits and all. Yeah, they’re faster, but the reliability just goes out the window. Not a daily commuter, not worth it.
Is the Bajaj Discover 100M really 'bulletproof' or is it just hype?
29 January 2025 07:29
For 6 years now my dad has been using one for his milk delivery business. It’s that thing that has been driven around on rural roads and keeps going. That’s pretty impressive if you ask me.
So does the Bajaj Discover 100M's "DTS-i" technology really make a difference?
29 January 2025 07:29
As a former engineering student, I can tell you that the theory behind DTS i is solid. In the real world, so many things impact mileage it's difficult to separate it out.
Is the Bajaj Discover 100M really the 'King of Mileage' or just hype?
29 January 2025 07:23
It's definitely not just hype. I’ve been riding my Discover 100M for over 2 years now, and I get 75-80 km/l consistently in mixed city highway riding. It's not the claimed 84 km/l, but it's still pretty damn efficient. All you need to do is ride sensibly and obey maintenance.
Did the Discover 100 5G go too conservative with its design?
29 January 2025 07:21
It was a mistake to design it conservatively. Even in the commuter segment, people want their bikes to stand out.
Could Bajaj have missed a trick in not offering more color options for the Discover 100 5G?
29 January 2025 07:21
It wouldn't have made a difference if it had more colors. More than just a paint job was needed to make the bike succeed.
How come the Discover 100 5G is so heavy?
29 January 2025 07:21
Its downfall was the weight. 100cc engines aren't designed to haul that much steel around in the most efficient manner.
Did the 5-speed gearbox on the Discover 100 5G make a difference?
29 January 2025 07:21
It's great for highway touring but a little bit unnecessary for daily commutes. I still liked having the option.
Is the Bajaj Discover 100 5G all the hype it is made out to be?
29 January 2025 07:21
Honestly, I owned one for 3 years and it was pretty decent. So not mind blowing, but reliable and did the job. Highway rides in the 5th gear were nice.
Is the Discover 100 4G a good platform for someone who is new to mechanics?
29 January 2025 07:09
It's not for the beginner. It’s tight tolerances, and if you’re not careful, you can mess things up easily. The carburettor was one of the things that I found to be especially finicky to work on. It’s better to start with a more old, simpler bike like a Boxer or a Splendor because if you make a mistake in riding you can afford it.
Let’s see how the Discover 100 4G fares for food delivery gigs.
29 January 2025 07:09
For the past 6 months, I’ve been using my Discover 100 4G to deliver for Zomato and it’s been a game changer. It’s no joke when it comes to fuel efficiency – I’m saving a ton on petrol costs. It's lightweight, easy to weave through traffic, which is crucial for meeting those delivery deadlines.
Can the Discover 100 4G take two-up riding for couples?
29 January 2025 07:09
It's all about expectations. But if you're fine with going easy and ain’t worried about using the fast lane, then the Discover 100 4G can make for a great, value for money choice, as long as we're talking about couples. It's been great, we've done plenty of scenic rides. Expect to have a hard time keeping up with bigger bikes on the highway, though.
Is the Bajaj Discover 100 4G really worthy of the hype for college students?
29 January 2025 07:09
I disagree. The Discover 100 4G has been nothing but trouble on my part. It’s cheap build quality, and I’ve had to put up with constant niggles. The service centers are a nightmare as well. If only I had saved a bit more money and gone for a Honda or TVS. It’s not worth the headache in the long run, but the initial savings are great.
