    The Discover 100 Tourer as it’s been named, is aimed at opening up a whole new segment in the commuter class. The Discover 100T produces a claimed 10.2 Ps of power (30% more than its class competitors). This coupled with a claimed 87 kmpl is thanks to the 4-valve Dtsi technology.

    Mr K Srinivas, President (Motorcycle Business),

    “For too long, the average commuter had to be satisfied with boring and undifferentiated 100cc bikes. While 100cc bikes do offer good mileage, their style, features and performance leave a lot to be desired. The steady growth of the more expensive 100cc bikes at the cost of the cheaper models is a clear evidence of this.”
    “The all new Discover 100T delivers the power of a 125cc with the economy of a 100cc to bring in the joy of riding to this segment. We call it the ‘The Ultimate 100’ as it brings unprecedented levels of power, style and features to this important segment of the market.”
    Features of the Discover 100T

    With two Indian Manufacturers launching 100cc bikes with a difference in a span of two days, is there going to be a visible shift in the mindset of the commuter? Or are these manufacturers shooting in the dark?

          Not bad. I guessed right

          So the new bike Bajaj Discover 100T is priced identically to the existing Bajaj Discover 125, just like how the Discover 150 and Discover 125ST are close in pricing (though the 125ST is higher due to more expensive monoshock).

          I predict the next bike in the series to be the Discover 150ST which would be priced identically (or little bit higher since it comes with monoshock) to the Pulsar 135LS, and slowly Discover 125, Discover 150 and Pulsar 135LS would be phased out as the KTM engine block based Pulsars replace Pulsar 150 and Pulsar 180.

            Its comes with Digi Console or not ? If it comes with Digi Console .. i think 125ST will get that update soon

            50500 :O Hiks!!! On the Road will be Near 60000! here @ kolkata

            5000/- more bingo Mono Shocks will be all yours,Comfort is much more important than few KM mileage !

              A disk brake upfront would have been a real 'innovation'.

                Is this really the most expensive+technologically advanced 100cc promised by Bajaj?If yes,I am disappointed!

                    Its good but Bajaj and moreover these so called auto-sites should not make so much hype about it.
                    Whats there in a signature?

                      Not only are the specs easily class leading from the entire 100-110cc segment, the Discover 100T is in fact more powerful than :
                      1. Suzuki Slingshot
                      2. Hero Super Splendor
                      3. Hero Glamour
                      4. Honda Shine

                      All of which are 125cc bikes!!

                      But people, as usual, are still disappointed.

                      If they happen to use the same platform and similar engine configuration (4 valve, DTSI) for the new Discover 150ST, not only will it be one of the lightest 150cc bikes, it should also easily generate more power than any other 150cc air cooled bike currently sold in the country.
                      Advice is a form of nostalgia.
                      Dispensing it is a way of fishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts and recycling it for more than it's worth.

                        One thing indeed is still disappointing to be honest. Right now, the 50500 delhi ex-showroom is like 150Rs. below the disc brake version of Discover 125. And yet this bike does not have a disc brake. That is the ONLY disappointing thing in this otherwise perfect commuter. Bajaj may have compromised by giving a smaller disc brake (200mm vs 240mm in Discover 150) and smaller rear tyres (3" vs 100/90 in Discover 150) in 125 ST but nobody noticed that because it was still bearable. But removing front discs as a cost-cutting measure ? I know the usual crowd who buys this bike (and Dream Yuga, Passion Pro, etc) wouldn't give a damn about disc brakes because they're just commuters, but those who are proper bikers and want this bike as a secondary city-runabout vehicle will be disappointed.

                          All those less powerful 125 has got a disc atleast as an option to shed its 'power' for 'spirited' commuters n give some sense of safety and has useful pulling torque down bottom for slow commuting. Yes nobody has ridden D100. It may perform flawless.

                          If they happen to use the same platform and similar engine configuration (4 valve, DTSI) for the new Discover 150ST, not only will it be one of the lightest 150cc bikes, it should also easily generate more power than any other 150cc air cooled bike currently sold in the country.
                          That make some sense.

                            They should have given it a slightly different look. This Discover range is becoming an eyesore

                              But there is not much that can be done in the commuter segment, right? All the niceties are saved for the 150 segment and upwards. The bikes upto 125CC will always be plain-jane, I think. Just my thought...
