Engineered by Bajaj for the sport motorcycle segment, the 2012 Bajaj Discover 125 DTS-i utilizes a 124.6 cc (7.6 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke layout. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 11 HP (8 kW) at 8,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 10.8 Nm (8 lb-ft) at 5,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 88.3 HP per liter and a 2,500 rpm working window between peak torque (5,500 rpm) and peak power (8,000 rpm), the engine character is indicating a tractable, stress-free state of tune focused on everyday usability and broad torque delivery.
On the scales, the Discover 125 DTS-i measures 118.5 kg (261 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.09 HP/kg (10.77 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 1,305 mm (51.4 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 8-liter (2.1 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints, while factory top speed is listed at 100 km/h (62 mph).
