BAJAJ DISCOVER 125 DTS-i (2009-2013) Specs, Performance & Photos

In 2009, the Indian motorcycle manufacturer released the Bajaj Discover 125 DTS-i, a small-displacement commuter in its sixth consecutive production year. The 2009 version was similar to previous models but had several minor modifications.

The Bajaj Discover was a family of motorcycles made by Bajaj Auto in 2004 to replace the Kawasaki KB100 RTZ. It continued production until 2020, when it was replaced by the Bajaj Pulsar 125.

Also, in 2009, the maker introduced a new 100cc version with a DTS-Si engine. After its success, Bajaj launched a 150cc model and dropped the production of the 135cc version, while the 125cc model was re-launched in 2011.

The 2009 Bajaj Discover 125 DTS-i had standard features, such as a single headlight unit integrated into a small cowl with a small wind deflector, a one-piece dual seat with a pillion grab rail, a single exhaust system with a muffler mounted on the right-hand side, and six-spoke alloy wheels.

As for the power figures, the 2009 motorcycle had installed a 124cc four-stroke air/oil-cooled single-cylinder engine underneath the fuel tank, boasting 12 hp with a peak force at 8,000 rpm and 11 Nm (8 lb-ft) torque at 6,500 rpm.

The bike's power was transferred to the rear through a five-speed gearbox and a final chain drive, pushing the motorcycle to a top speed of 100 kph (62 mph).
