Bajaj Auto has launched the
Discover 125 Sports Tourer (ST). The two- and three-wheeler manufacturer, however,
did not disclose the price of the bike.
Powered by Bajaj's patented "DTS-iTwin Spark" technology, the bike will hit the market in second half of June.
The four valves
engine produces 13 PS of power - the highest in the 125cc category. The bike has a five-speed gear box and also comes with monoshock nitrox suspension.
"We believe that the average Indian commuter has to compromise a lot for fuel efficiency. With the Discover ST, we are making a statement that mileage need not come with boring design and outdated features," said K. Srinivas, president, motorcycle business, Bajaj Auto.
At the launch, Bajaj Auto Managing Director Rajiv Bajaj said the company planned to launch one Pulsar and Discover every year on the new platforms which have been developed for both the bikes.
Bajaj further said that the company will maintain its 20 per cent margins and that it won't expand its presence in the 100 cc motorcycle category which will not allow it to have the same margins that it enjoys.
