Is the extra cash spent on Bajaj Discover 125T Disc worth it, as compared to the drum brake version?

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.
Did the Discover 125 ST have a semi digital instrument cluster too early?

The semi digital cluster of my Discover 125 ST was something I loved. The digital speedo was easy to read at a glance, and a tachometer made it fun to wring out the engine now and then. Definitely made the bike feel more premium than its price was suggesting.

I honestly did not think the fancy cluster was worth it. An experienced rider on a 125cc commuter like most of us barely, if ever, takes a look at his speedometer, let alone a tach. Instead of unnecessary bling, I would have preferred that Bajaj put that money in better brakes or suspension.

The semi digital cluster was ahead of its time, but it was pretty meh. In bright sunlight the digital display was hard to read, and the tach was too small to be useful. Good idea, mediocre implementation.

I actually found the tachometer useful when I got my Discover 125 ST as a new rider, because it helped me learn proper gear shifts and engine management. For beginner riders, it might seem unnecessary, but for experienced riders it's a nice learning tool.

Bajaj was smart to include the semi digital cluster. The bike stood out on the showroom floor and helped to attract younger buyers seeking modern features. It may or may not be useful, but it sold bikes.

Durability was my biggest issue with the cluster. After about a year of use the digital part of mine started glitching. While traditional analog gauges are boring, they are reliable.

The semi digital cluster was a nice touch in the 'sports tourer' kind of vibe Bajaj was going for. It doesn’t make the bike faster, but it makes it better. Sometimes it’s alright if things are just cool and don’t really have to be necessary.
What makes the Discover 125 Drum Brake uncomfortable for some riders and perfect for tall riders?

I am a 6'2" guy and I find this Discover 125 quite comfortable. I don't feel cramped, the seat to peg distance is great. One of the few bikes in this segment that fit me.

I'm 6' and on this bike I feel like a monkey on a tricycle. I always bump my knees on the handlebars. Perhaps it’s good for tall people with short legs.

It's not about height, it's about proportions. I'm 6'1" but I'm just tall in the torso. The Discover fits me perfectly. You might have a different experience if you’re all legs.

Tall riders will be fine with the stock setup, but the setup gets much better with some mods. I bar risered and moved the footpegs back. It is super comfortable now even on long rides.

I think people are mixing 'good for tall riders' with 'good for big riders'. Yes, it's spacious, but the ergonomics are still the same as for a small bike. If you are tall and lanky, you will love it. Tall and broad? Not so much.

Being a shorter rider (5'7") I find it funny that tall people are debating this. The bike feels huge to me! Perhaps it is just designed for average Indian height, and feels weird for anyone on the extremes?

I've had two different model year rides of the Discover 125 and I swear the newer one felt more cramped. Maybe Bajaj has played around with the dimensions a bit over the years. The mixed opinions could be explained by that.
Is the Discover 125 Drum Brake’s suspension truly the 'bone jarring' reputation it has?
29 January 2025 07:15
Bone-jarring? No way! It's firm, absolutely, but you want that for stability. I've ridden much worse. Probably people complaining haven't ever experienced truly bad suspension.

It's pretty harsh, not going to lie. My back is killing me after an hour of riding. Short commutes are great, but long rides are a pain... literally.

I guess it’s a matter of weight and riding style. I'm on the lighter side and it is perfectly comfortable for me. Different experience may be had by heavier riders.

It’s an easy fix, but the stock suspension is too stiff. I had aftermarket shocks in the rear and it rides like a dream. Best upgrade I've made.
