Could the Discover 135 Sports have become the adventure tourer platform?
In recent years, the adventure touring segment has exploded in popularity, and manufacturers are scrambling to get bikes into different displacement categories. With its stout frame, punchy engine, and relaxed ergonomics, the Discover 135 Sports has caused some enthusiasts to wonder if it could be the basis of a small displacement adventure bike. Imagination and debate have sparked among riders about the idea of a lightweight, efficient adventure tourer built on the 135's platform. Proponents point out that with some modifications, the same characteristics that made it a good street bike would have translated well to off road capability; skeptics question if it would have had the performance and durability to do true adventure riding. The hypothetical evolution of the Discover 135 prompts us to think about what opportunities we missed in product development and whether we can repurpose the design we already have to meet new market trends.
Absolutely! A mini-ADV would have been a perfect start to the 135's frame and engine. Add some long travel suspension, spoked wheels and a windscreen and you have instant budget adventure bike.
