So does the Bajaj Discover 100M's "DTS-i" technology really make a difference?
One thing Bajaj heavily promotes about the Discover 100M is its Digital Twin Spark ignition (DTS-i) technology, which it says leads to better fuel efficiency and performance. As a result, riders and enthusiasts have been in a conversation for years about whether the technology lives up to the hype, or if it's mostly smoke and mirrors. Some say they experience significant mileage improvement whereas others say they don’t notice much difference from single spark engines. The conversation can often be expanded to compare real world experiences, to dissect the science behind the technology, or to debate its cost effectiveness. This is a complex subject with a myriad of factors affecting perceptions; riding style, maintenance, fuel quality, etc. can all influence how one perceives the character of a particular engine, do to their own experiences.
I honestly believe it's mostly hype. My friend's Hero Splendor gets decent mileage but not as good as my Discover.
I have owned single and twin spark Bajaj bikes. I get about 5-7 km/l more and the DTS-i definitely feels much smoother. It's subtle, but it's there.
As a former engineering student, I can tell you that the theory behind DTS i is solid. In the real world, so many things impact mileage it's difficult to separate it out.
It's not just about mileage. It starts up easily even on cold mornings I think the DTS-i helps with that. All in all, it just feels more refined.
I call BS on the whole thing. That’s just Bajaj’s way of justifying a higher price tag. Fancy ignition systems don’t matter nearly as much as regular maintenance.
The difference in smoothness is night and day compared to what I have come from, an old Yamaha. I can't say if it's all down to DTS-i, but something's working!
People expect too much, I think. It's a step up, not a revolution. When you're commuting daily every little bit helps.
