Is the Discover 125 Drum Brake’s suspension truly the 'bone jarring' reputation it has?
29 January 2025 07:15
The "bone-jarring" reputation is overblown. Now it’s not the plushest ride you’ve ever had, but it’s a long way from being the worst in its class. The firmness is good when you have a pillion or heavy loads, plus.
Is the Discover 125 Drum Brake braking system as inadequate as some riders say it is?
29 January 2025 07:15
It's a trade-off. Cheaper to maintain and less likely to be damaged, drum brakes are the type of brakes. For day to day commuting they are good enough. But yeah, more confidence would be nice, and discs would be nice to have.
Are owners actually right when they claim the Bajaj Discover 125 Drum Brake is truly 'indestructible'?
29 January 2025 07:15
Indestructible? That's just marketing hype, come on. It’s a decent commuter, but I’ve seen some Discover’s with troubles. It is very susceptible to problems with the electrical system. For its price range, it's tough, but let's not get carried away.
Why do some riders swear by the fuel efficiency of the Discover 125, while others complain it's a gas guzzler?
29 January 2025 07:15
Weight matters a lot. I’m a big guy and I usually have a lot of things with me. I don't get great mileage but my lighter friends with the same bike get much better efficiency. That's not a flaw in the bike, that's physics.
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.
The Bajaj Discover 125 Drum Brake claims to be the commuter king, but is it?
29 January 2025 07:06
Having been a daily commuter for the past 3 years, I’d say the Discover 125 definitely deserves the tag of being the 'commuter king'. It is no joke when it comes to fuel efficiency, I easily get 65-70 kmpl in city riding. The engine is butter smooth and the seat comfy enough for my 30 km round trip. It’s not the most exciting ride, but it’s a sure thing when you want to get from A to B reliably and cheaply.
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.
How does the Discover 110 perform in wet conditions?
15 January 2025 10:26
But I think it’s more about the rider than the bike. In heavy rain, any 110cc will be hard.
How does the Discover 110 seat comfort stack up against other commuters?
15 January 2025 10:26
I believe it works just fine for what it is intended for. It is not for people expecting luxury.
Is the Discover 110 worth its price tag?
15 January 2025 10:26
The frame and the engine is solid. Everything else is just the cosmetic stuff that could be better.
Is the Discover 110’s headlight good enough for night riding?
15 January 2025 10:26
If you're not trying to outride it, it's fine, but the stock light is fine. Just slow down at night.
Is the drum brake on the Bajaj Discover 110 really a deal breaker?
15 January 2025 10:26
It depends on how you ride. Drum brakes are actually better if you are constantly stuck in heavy traffic.
Bajaj has a task at hand to balance off road capability with on road comfort for the Darkstar.
15 January 2025 10:23
Here Bajaj's experience with the Dominar could come in handy. They just need to tweak it for some off road use, but that bike strikes a decent balance for touring.
