Positioned in Bajaj's sport motorcycle lineup, the 2010 Bajaj Discover 135 DTS-i relies on a 134.2 cc (8.2 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 12.9 HP (9.4 kW) at 8,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 11.9 Nm (8.8 lb-ft) at 6,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 4-speed gearbox. With a specific output of 96.1 HP per liter and a 2,000 rpm working window between peak torque (6,500 rpm) and peak power (8,500 rpm), the engine character is reflecting a performance-oriented street tune that balances strong mid-range pull with an energetic top-end rush.
On the scales, the Discover 135 DTS-i measures 133 kg (293 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.1 HP/kg (10.31 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 10-liter (2.6 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
