Riders have discussed the suspension setup of the Bajaj Discover 125 Drum Brake very heatedly. Some like how it glides over rough roads, others were offended by how stiff and uncomfortable it was on longer rides. As a result, the suspension has been dubbed 'bone jarring' by its detractors. The firm suspension, which supporters say gives better stability and control (especially with a pillion or luggage) is the other change. However, critics argue that it makes the ride too rough for the segment, compared to some of its competitors. The debate also spreads to talk about Indian road conditions, the trade offs between comfort and handling, and if aftermarket modifications can solve the problem. Riders claim the suspension’s reputation differs depending on the manufacturing batch or year model of the bike.
