New Bajaj Discover 135 Launched

Bajaj Auto has introduced first of its promised four launches in the 125cc category for the current fiscal. Although it is not what most of us were anticipating, but anyhow the Discover 135 has been upgraded.

The new model features the following changes:

Racer breed tank mounted spoilers with integrated indicators
Striking new dual tone graphics
Digital speedometer with tachometer and reserve fuel indicator
All new aggressive front fairing
Nitrox Suspension & front disc brake (Sports version only)
Wider rear tyre and racing wheel stripes (Sports version only)


The three versions in which the Discover 135 is now available are the Sports, Electric Start and Kick Start. These are priced between Rs. 46,248(ex-showroom) to Rs. 51,895(ex-showroom).

This launch leaves three more launches in the 125cc segment from Bajaj. As regards to the Discover brand, it seems good strategy to not slap a completely new design on the face of the customers in the form of the soon to be launched Discover 150. So the Discover brand is not going to move up the ladder into the 150cc ballpark completely as was thought but straddle between 125 and 150.

But given Bajaj’s penchant for dropping models without as much as a whimper tells me it is quite possible still.
