Bajaj Discover DTS-Si 100cc: A Look Back at the 2010 Commuter
By the Bharat Auto Insights Editorial Team · Last reviewed 17 October 2026
The Bajaj Discover DTS-Si was a 100cc commuter motorcycle that Bajaj sold in India around 2009–2010, positioned as a stylish, fuel-efficient alternative in the crowded entry segment. Today's equivalent buyers should look at current 100–125cc commuters.
What it offered
The Discover name built its reputation on combining commuter economy with slightly sportier styling than rivals. The DTS-Si version used Bajaj's spark-ignition technology on a roughly 100cc single-cylinder engine, with features such as alloy wheels and electric start on many variants.
Its place in the market
In 2010 the 100cc commuter segment was dominated by Hero Honda, with Bajaj, TVS and Honda competing hard on price and efficiency. The Discover helped Bajaj compete with a more modern image.
What to buy today
The Discover range has since been discontinued. For a modern efficient commuter, see our shortlist of fuel-efficient bikes.
