Default New Bajaj 100cc bike to be called Discover; Launch on 12th July
The new Bajaj 100 cc bike is to be called Discover. Launch is on 12th July and is expected to take on the Splendor in pricing.

I think it is a good move by Bajaj to name the bike as Discover, since Discover has a good brand value.

Thumbs down Discover100!
& I thought Discover-150 was going to be launched by this Diwali or year-end!
Bajaj began with the Discover-110, then moved to 125, & then 135.
Right now, the 110 & 125 have been phased out, & its sad they are moving backwards to launch a 100. I don't think it will make erstwhile Discover owners happy.
A 100cc is most welcome, but it would have been better-off at a different Brand name..
BTW, not so long ago, Bajaj had announced it is going to exit the 100cc segment immediately (phase out of CT100 & Platina100), & exit the 125cc segment too.. Now what happened to them!

The pleasure is when your rear wheel slides, and you bring it back; and when the front wheel lifts, you take your time bringing it back.

New brand means starting the brand building exercise from the beginning. May be that's the reason Bajaj has gone in favor of an established brand.
