Is the extra cash spent on Bajaj Discover 125T Disc worth it, as compared to the drum brake version?
The Bajaj Discover 125T is available as drum brake and disc brake variants and the disc brake variant is priced about ?3,000 more. Do disc brakes give better stopping power? Absolutely, but even some riders say that for a commuter bike like the Discover 125T, drum brakes will do the job. Some say every rupee spent on disc brakes is worth it, particularly in the wet. Disc brakes also require more maintenance, and there's the cost of that as well. This could make a big difference to the budget conscious buyer. Safety focused riders may consider it money well spent, at the price of potentially improved braking performance. And the debate often is extended over resale value, with some claiming that disc brake models hold their values better.
Absolutely worth it! I do feel so much more confident with the extra stopping power, especially when driving in the city. It's a no-brainer for safety.
No, that's overkill for a commuter. I have had the drum version for years without problem. And save the cash and put toward fuel or maintenance.
Depends on your riding style. The disc is the way to go if you’re more aggressive or ride in hilly areas. Drums are OK for relaxed city commuting.
I wish I had gotten the disc version. I really notice the difference in the rainy season from my friend's disc Discover.
Braking power is not all that it's about. It makes the disc look way cooler, and might even help with resale value down the line. If you are going to sell in a few years, worth considering.
I honestly think it's just a marketing gimmick. The Discover’s drum brakes are already pretty good. Save your money.
I can tell you it is worth it because I upgraded from drum to disc. It is quickly forgotten how expensive it was initially, but you appreciate the improved braking everyday.
