The Bajaj Discover 125 2025 made a strong comeback with refreshed styling, modern tech, and exceptional fuel efficiency—reclaiming its place in India’s competitive commuter segment. Priced competitively around ₹73,800–₹78,700 (ex-showroom Delhi), it’s ideal for students, daily riders, and budget-conscious buyers.
Sleek New Design
The updated Discover features sharper lines, a sporty bikini fairing, LED DRLs integrated into the headlamp, sculpted fuel tank extensions, and a split-seat design with premium cushioning. A sleek LED tail lamp, directional alloy wheels, and body-coloured mirrors complete its contemporary look.
Engine & Remarkable Mileage
Powered by a 124.5 cc air‑cooled DTS‑i engine, the bike delivers about 11–12 PS and 11 Nm of torque via a 5-speed manual gearbox. Despite modest output, it impresses with claimed mileage over 80 km/l; real-world figures typically range between 60–70 km/l depending on riding conditions.
Feature-Rich & Rider-Friendly
Equipped with a full digital instrument cluster, it shows gear position, trip meters, and real-time fuel efficiency. Riders also get a USB-C charging port, a side‑stand engine cutoff, hazard light switch, and LED DRLs for added convenience and safety. A front disc brake (in disc variants), drum rear brake, and single-channel CBS ensure balanced stopping power.
Comfort and Handling
At around 124 kg kerb weight, the Discover is easy to maneuver in urban traffic. Telescopic front forks and twin Nitrox rear shocks deliver a smooth ride on rough roads. With 165 mm ground clearance and a 790 mm seat height, it suits a wide rider demographic. Ergonomics offer upright posture and spacious comfort for both rider and pillion.
Real-World Experience
Owners praise its reliability and longevity: multiple users report running Discover bikes past 100,000 km with minimal issues. However, some feedback mentions gear-shifting quirks, vibration at high speeds (above 70 km/h), and mediocre headlamp throw. Despite that, its overall durability as a commuter standout remains respected.
Variant Line-Up & Price
Available in two main variants:
- Discover 125 Drum CBS (~₹73,800)
- Discover 125 Disc CBS (~₹78,700)
These price points position it competitively within the 125cc category.
