Bajaj Dominar 250

Bajaj Dominar 250 Highlights

The Bajaj Dominar 250 has been launched at a price of Rs 1.60 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi). Bajaj dealerships have started accepting bookings for the Dominar 250 and we can expect deliveries to commence soon. It is available in two colours: red and black. 

 The motorcycle is powered by the same 248.8cc unit as seen on the KTM 250 Duke BS6. In the Austrian streetfighter, this motor makes 30PS and 24Nm whereas, in the Bajaj Dominar 250, it generates 27PS and 23.5Nm. It is paired to a 6-speed transmission with slipper clutch.

 Suspension hardware is similar to the Dominar 400, but the front end gets a slimmer 37mm inverted fork. The rear continues to use a gas-charged monoshock. Another major difference between the two is the swingarm. While the Dominar 400 gets a stamped metal unit, the smaller Dominar 250 gets a box-section swingarm. The tyres are also relatively slimmer (100-section front and 130-section rear) to keep costs competitive. Even the front brake is 30mm smaller, at 300mm. It is grabbed by a radial caliper while the rear uses the same 230mm disc as the Dominar 400. A dual-channel ABS is offered as standard.

 The Bajaj Dominar 250 gets the same split-type instrument cluster as the previous-generation Dominar 400. It retains the all-LED lighting system too. In the quarter-litre segment, it will go up against the KTM 250 Duke BS6, Suzuki Gixxer 250, Husqvarna Svartpilen 250, and Benelli Leoncino 250.
