Bajaj Auto has launched the new Discover 150. The Discover 150 is powered by a 150cc 13 PS DTS-i engine giving an excellent on-road mileage of 65 kmpl (company claimed) equal to most other 100cc’s. The new Discover 150cc features 5 speed gear-box, electric start, Nitrox Suspension, Disc-brake and Wider-rear tyres. Discover 150 is priced at Rs. 46.000/- (ex-showroom, Delhi) and will be launched in a phase-wise manner across the country. The Discover 150 adheres to the latest BS III emission norms.
“Discover 100 took market by a storm with its launch last July. In this short span of time the Discover 100 is already one of the largest selling models in the motorcycle market with current volumes averaging 75,000 per month. With the new Discover 150, we are instilling a fresh momentum and adding riding excitement to the overall Discover portfolio,” Mr. S. Sridhar, CEO, Bajaj Auto said.

How can they price it so low?
May 10, 2010 at 1:27 pm
Is that price a sure piece of news?? don’t understand what’s they are trying to do.. Disco 100 is @42k.. and disco 150@ 46k?? really surprising..
May 10, 2010 at 1:28 pm
Yes, the price is sure. I guess with the Pulsar parts being used in this bike which is a hybrid of a Discover 100 and Pulsar 150, they can price it well.
May 10, 2010 at 2:13 pm
144 cc ? Is it the old Pulsar’s engine ? This strategy is not a new one from Bajaj. They has Discover 115 which has the engine from Caliber Hoodibaba.

“More Excitement per Litre” sounds familiar…. ‘More Smiles per hour’ if I am not mistaken it is TVS Victor

hey fasil, whats yout opinion on this?
May 11, 2010 at 2:42 pm
Venkatesh, my opinion on this is that Bajaj is playing a very brave game. The pricing is very aggressive and this is to take a major chunk of the market share. Once they do that, prices might be hiked upwards.
May 10, 2010 at 11:32 pm
Whoa 46000 for 150 cc bike !!!
Man it will definitely break all the previous records of bajaj. Leave the designing of bikes but when it comes to numbers …all will set aside in their cave. Hero Honda … definitely ur sales numbers is going to hit by this pricing
May 11, 2010 at 10:49 am
bajaj cannot match quality of their bikes with honda hence like price is lower.maintenace cost after year or two will cost you more in long run.also bajaj has to launch old wine in a new bottle every 3 months else they wont survive.
May 11, 2010 at 11:30 am
next in pipe line will be pulsar 100, bajaj only knows to make discover and pulsar thats all!, god help bajaj, was it necessary to bring discover 150?wats wrong with bajaj!
May 11, 2010 at 12:47 pm
@Chetan, names doesn’t matter.. HH selling same engine in cd-dawn, cd-deluxe, splendor, splendor+, passion plus, passion pro..and what not? This one is an interesting move from Bajaj.. let’s see how it works for the company.
May 11, 2010 at 3:16 pm

May 12, 2010 at 12:14 pm
Bajaj is a Shit……..Its Bike run like Hell after 1 yrs….If ridden hard …neednot to say…very horible
June 12, 2010 at 3:13 pm
this is not a old pulsar engine. this an xcd 135 platform engine. with amazing pickup & mileage. 0 to 60 in 5.63 second. best torque in its class
with amazing power to weight ratio. simple to handle because of medium weight. only 51 k on road price.its a super bike for middle class
June 15, 2010 at 12:44 pm
I have test ride the bike. I must say that it has an excellent pickup. smoot transmission because of 5 gears. I am convinced that this bike will dent HH like anything.
