2005 Bajaj Discover DTS-i Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

At the heart of the 2005 Bajaj Discover DTS-i naked motorcycle, Bajaj pairs a 124.5 cc (7.6 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 11.4 HP (8.3 kW) at 8,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 10.8 Nm (8 lb-ft) at 6,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 4-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 91.6 HP per liter and a 1,500 rpm working window between peak torque (6,500 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 DTS-i measures 129 kg (284 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.09 HP/kg (11.32 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, while factory top speed is listed at 100 km/h (62 mph).
