In terms of design and
styling it was expected that Discover 125 will carry all or some of the design
cues we have seen in the Discover Sprint concept which was on display at the
2008 Auto Expo in New Delhi. But bajaj has disappointed the bike lovers as they
have kept the design very simple and basic which looks more or less same like
the Discover 100. Bajaj Discover 125 features LED tail lamps, nitrox
suspension, front disc brake, electric start and wider rear tyre.
