Is the Discover 125 Drum Brake braking system as inadequate as some riders say it is?
Ashutosh 29 January 2025 07:15
The Bajaj Discover 125 Drum Brake braking system has been a hot topic for riders. Don't get me wrong, some users believe that the drum brakes work fine in city riding but others assert that they are horribly inadequate, especially for emergency or wet situation. The debate about safety has kicked off with some riders supporting the inclusion of disc brakes as a standard feature. Defenders of the drum brake setup argue that it’s simpler and has lower maintenance costs, while being appropriate for the typical commute. But critics say the potential safety benefits of disc brakes outweigh the advantages. Brake fade on long descents gets a mention, as does the effect riding style can have on braking performance and whether drum brakes are outdated technology in modern traffic conditions. Riders even share DIY tips on how to improve braking performance, while others think that by doing proper maintenance you will get the most out of the stock system.

If you know how to use them correctly, the drum brakes work fine. Even in heavy rain, I’ve never had an issue. The big thing is early anticipation and early braking.
