The entry-level Discover was earlier available with a displacement of 124.6 cc (cubic centimeters) and 94.3 cc, which has now been up ramped up to 144.8 cc. The new bikes will hit showrooms across the country today. The earlier variants of the Discover will continue to be available in showrooms.
"A beast fuelled with power unimagined, the Bajaj Discover 150 is a Stallion that provides unparalleled performance. The breakthrough 150cc DTS-I engine ensures efficient combustion, and in conjunction with a 5-speed gear box, provides exceptionally smooth power, yet delivering class-leading fuel efficiency," Bajaj Auto says on its website.
The new Discover 150 bikes come with alloy wheels and 40mm front disc brakes that are meant to provide safe and superior braking. Gas-charged nitrox suspension in the new motorcycles promise "optimum level of comfort".

So Bajaj launches another Discover in a very low key affair. I wonder if the market is looking for another 150cc commuter, what with the fuel prices going up. Sales of the company has been hit off late and the lack of a scooter is negatively affecting the company. On the other hand, exports for Bajaj have continued to grow and profitability has been good. I wonder if these Discovers will help Bajaj grow in the domestic market?
