How come the Discover 100 5G is so heavy?

The Bajaj Discover 100 5G tipped the scales at around 115 kg making it quite a bit heavier than the majority of its competition in the 100cc segment. The extra weight became something that riders and enthusiasts debated. Others said that the extra heft gave the motor more stability and a more premium feel at high speeds. Some people complained that it impaired the bike's nimbleness around city traffic and in small spaces. In addition, discussions were made about how the addition affected fuel efficiency and general performance. Bajaj justified the weight, saying the bike needed it to be durable and have a good ride. Did this extra weight do anything for the model, or prove to be a flaw in its retirement?
