Was the Discover 150S the most comfortable bike in its class?

For many Indian riders, used mainly for daily commutes, comfort is a major point. Many times, Bajaj Discover 150S has been praised for its comfortable riding position and smooth suspension. Opinions differ, however, on whether it really beat its rivals for comfort. Some riders say it's great for long distances, others say bikes like the Honda Unicorn gave a better overall package. The subjectivity of comfort, the comfort versus performance trade off, and how different people with different bodies and riding styles perceive comfort are all covered. And it also brings into question the role of test rides and how manufacturers can keep a balance between comfort and other features in the fiercely competitive 150cc segment.

Most comfortable? It was probably not, but it was most certainly up there. I could ride my Discover for hours without getting a sore butt. Try that on a Pulsar!

Comfortable for whom? My friend was 6'2" and looked like a gorilla on a tricycle on the Discover. Bike comfort doesn't fit one size.

Yes, it was comfy, but at what price? In corners it felt like a boat, the soft suspension. I'd rather have better handling and firmer ride.

The comfort sweet spot was nailed by the Discover. Not too soft, not too hard. It's the Goldilocks of 150cc bikes – just right for most people.

Comfort is overrated. If comfort is what you’re after, buy a scooter. The edge of the Discover was lost because it tried too hard to be comfy.

The Honda Unicorn was comfortable, but not to be forgotten. Riding that bike was like riding on a cloud, with better build quality.

The best thing about Discover was its comfort. Instead of trying to make it sporty, Bajaj should've doubled down on that. Imagine a Discover tourer!

Comfort is subjective. The Discover's seat was too soft for long rides, I found. Any day I’d take a firm seat and good ergonomics.
