Bajaj Auto sells over 10 million motorcycles on DTS-i Platform

Bajaj Auto today achieved a landmark sale of 10 million units of motorcycles based on its patented DTS-i, Digital Twin Spark Ignition engine technology. This revolutionary technology was first introduced by the company on its Pulsar brand in 2003 and was later incorporated in the Discover portfolio. A combination of technology and engineering, Bajaj Pulsar 150 cc offers enhanced features like Digital Twin Ignition Technology (DTS-i) based engine, digital console, ride feel and chassis. New motorbikes in this series have a showroom price ranging from around Rs. 55,000 to Rs. 63,000 at Ahmedabad, which inclusive of all charges like insurance, octroi, RTO, etc. 

The Bajaj Discover comes in three variants with 100cc, 125cc and 150cc engine. Bajaj Discover targets the middle class two wheeler consumers with Bajaj bike prices ranging from Rs. 41,000 to Rs. 55,000. DTS-i engines incorporate two spark plugs as against the single spark plug in other two wheeler vehicles. A single spark plug engine provides a spark at only one end of the combustion chamber while the DTS-i engine provides two - one each at either end of the chamber, resulting in faster and more efficient combustion with almost no wastage of precious fuel. The end result is superior performance without any compromise on mileage.

Commenting on the occasion, Mr. K. Srinivas, President Motorcycle Business, said, “We started using the DTSi technology on the Pulsar and eventually used it in all the Discover models. This technology has contributed substantially to our leadership in the Sports segment and also in creating a differentiated offering in the commuter segment. At a time when fuel prices are sky rocketing our DTS-i technology has proved extremely beneficial to our customers” The advent of this technology has changed the face the of the two wheeler industry in the country.
