      Dominar 250 Expert Review

      BikeDekho Experts

      Overview

      Performance bikes in India used to be all about the 150s. Then came the 200s and 400s, thanks to brands like KTM and Bajaj stirring things up. But somewhere along the way, we started to see the value of what sits in between, and that’s where the 250cc segment found its groove.

      Enter the Bajaj Dominar 250. At first glance, it’s almost a clone of the Dominar 400. But spend some time with it, and you’ll see it’s not simply a watered-down version. It’s got its own thing going, a sweet balance of power, comfort, and price. I rode it in the city, took it out on the highway, and lived with it for a few days. And here’s my honest take: does the Dominar 250 deserve to be more than just the 400’s little sibling?

      Read More

      Design & Build Quality (3/5)

      Design

      Like I said earlier, it’s hard to tell the Dominar 250 apart from the 400 at first glance, and honestly, that’s a good thing. It carries over that same muscular fuel tank, aggressive split LED headlight, sculpted panels and a chunky rear section. That familiar power cruiser stance, clearly inspired by the Ducati Diavel, still holds strong and still turns heads.

      Look closer, though, and you’ll spot a few differences. The 250 runs slimmer tyres, narrower upside-down forks, standard alloy wheels instead of the 400’s diamond-cut ones, and a slightly different engine shroud. But that’s only if you’re really paying attention. The Dominar 400, being the more tour-ready machine, also comes with a few extras right out of the box, like knuckle guards, a taller windscreen and a rear luggage rack.

      Colours

      You don’t get a variety of colour options, just three liveries: Canyon Red, Sparkling Black, and Citrus Rush. The one I’d pick is Canyon Red (the same livery as our test bike), and here’s why? It offers a good contrast between the blacked-out mechanicals and the grey frame, giving a clean and cohesive look. It also has just the right amount of flash without going too crazy. The second colour you could pick is Sparkling Black, which is a little more subtle and low-key. Last but not the least, is Citrus Rush which in my opinion is a bit out there since it’s loud, but it’ll definitely get you the attention you need wherever you go.

      Wheels

      You get 17-inch alloys that look nearly identical to the Dominar 400’s wheels, except they do not get the premium diamond-cut finish.  They’re wrapped in MRF Nylogrip Zapper tyres, 100/80 up front and 130/70 at the rear. They aren’t the widest in this segment, but the softer compound offers decent grip in most conditions. I had no trouble trusting them in the city or on slightly wet roads. That said, if you really start pushing it through corners, they’ll remind you not to get too ambitious.

      Quality

      Coming to the overall quality of the bike, the fit and finish are solid. You have minimal panel gaps and the paint quality on the tank feels premium. The LED headlight also feels solidly built. My only gripe? The switchgear doesn’t feel as refined as the rest of the bike. For something that looks this premium, I expected better tactile feedback from the buttons.

      Features (4/5)

      Safety Features

      The Dominar 250 comes with dual-channel ABS as standard – a big plus in this segment. I put the bike through its paces, both city and highway traffic, and found the braking performance to be perfectly adequate for everyday use. The ABS adds a layer of reassurance. It only kicks in when you need it the most and when things get a bit sketchy, like sudden stops or panic braking in the rain.

      Convenience Features

      Bajaj has given the 250 a new mini LCD display, which now includes Bluetooth connectivity, navigation prompts, SMS/call alerts, and real-time ride data. All the information is pretty easy to read. It’s crisp, legible in sunlight, and far more modern than the older split console. Also present are backlit switchgears, hazard lights, and luggage loops under the seat – a thoughtful touch for tourers.

      Rider & Pillion Comfort (4/5)

      Rider Comfort

      The Dominar 250 is surprisingly approachable with a seat height of 800mm. I’m 5'10", for instance, and I could get both my feet flat on the ground. But I think that’s primarily down to the shape of the seat. It’s narrow at the front and wider towards the back for better support. So, shorter riders should be able to manage just fine. 

      What’s also a big plus is the rider's triangle. The upright posture is perfect for daily commutes and weekend rides. But the slightly rear-set footpegs make the ride a bit uncomfortable after extended periods. So if you’re planning a long ride. I’d suggest taking a few stretch breaks in between to avoid fatigue.

      The suspension? It’s plush but not floaty. It soaked up potholes and rough patches like a pro without ever feeling too soft or wallowy. What I really liked is how you sit ‘in’ the bike rather than perched on it. It gives you that planted, confident feel with a clear view of the road ahead.

      Pillion Comfort

      Credit where it’s due. This is easily one of the most pillion-friendly setups in the 250cc space. The rear seat is wide and well-cushioned, the grab rails are placed perfectly, and the footpeg position doesn’t feel like an afterthought. It’s commuter and partner-approved from my side.

      Engine & performance (4/5)

      Engine

      The Dominar gets the same 248.8cc DOHC engine as the KTM Duke 250. However, Bajaj has altered the tune of the engine to make it more relaxed and usable in real-world traffic conditions. With this, it makes less power and torque (4PS and 1.5Nm respectively) compared to its KTM counterpart. That said, unlike the Duke, which makes most of its power up top, the Dominar delivers its power in the low and mid-range, perfect for filtering through traffic or tackling uphill bends. Thanks to this, I also found myself shifting less and riding more, making the entire experience feel smoother and effortless.

      0 - 100 kmph

      10.92 seconds

      As you can see from our acceleration runs, the bike delivers its power in a linear fashion, so it isn’t the quickest in its class. The first four gears are short, which makes it feel peppy off the line.

      30 - 70 kmph

      5.60 seconds

      40 - 80 kmph

      7.92 seconds

      It’s the most comfortable in its mid-range performance, and that’s perfect for daily usability. I rarely had to downshift aggressively for overtakes, especially in urban traffic.

      Refinement-wise, the engine is mostly smooth through the rev range. It feels composed cruising around 90 to 100 kmph. But once you push it past 7000rpm, you’ll start to feel some vibrations creeping in. It’s mostly through the footpegs and a hint at the bars. But it isn’t overwhelming, just enough to remind you that you’re pushing it a bit too hard. 

      For everyday rides and long stints on the highway, I found it totally manageable. You won’t feel like the bike’s fighting you. It actually settles into a sweet rhythm once you find that mid-range groove. Honestly, that’s where it feels happiest.

      31.53m

      60 - 0 kmph

      18.50m

      The brakes do the job, but the lever feels a bit spongy. I had to really squeeze the lever to get the 180kg kerb weight to a stop. And while distances are class-competitive, a sharper initial bite would help boost confidence.

      City performance

      The throttle response felt smooth and predictable with no sudden surges. Also worth mentioning is the heat management of the engine. It stayed surprisingly cool even in peak-hour traffic, which isn’t something I could say about the 250 Duke this bike is based on. Yes, you do feel the 180kg heft of the bike in stop-and-go traffic, but once you get moving, it manages to balance out its weight pretty well. The gearing is spaced just right too, so you’re not constantly shifting in city conditions.

      Highway performance

      I found cruising at 100 - 110 kmph is quite effortless thanks to the 250’s taller 5th and 6th gears ratios. The engine felt relaxed, with minimal vibes till about 7000rpm, after which they creeped in through the pegs and bars. You can push to 125kmph, but not in a hurry.

      Gearbox

      The bike’s 6-speed transmission came as a surprise. Let me be candid while saying this, Bajaj isn’t particularly known for its transmissions. But the unit on the Dominar felt smooth and effortless, especially during slow-moving traffic where most bikes tend to get a bit clunky. The clutch too was easy to operate even with the absence of a quickshifter which made a big difference in the city. Each shift was positive and the system just worked flawlessly throughout.

      With real-world mileage of about 34kmpl and a 13-litre tank, you’re looking at a range of around 440 - 455 km. That’s more than decent for a sports tourer.

      Read More

      Ride Quality & Handling (4/5)(4/5)

      I genuinely didn’t expect the suspension to feel this plush. The 37mm USD fork and rear monoshock absorb bumps with grace. It handles potholes, speed breakers, and bad roads with maturity. You won’t bounce off your seat even with a pillion on board. Bajaj gets ride quality right most of the time and this is a prime example to set up a suspension for comfort on our road conditions. 

      Underpinnings

      It uses the same perimeter frame and wheelbase as the Dominar 400. But a lighter swingarm and slimmer forks make it feel slightly more agile. Still, you do feel the weight in tighter corners and U-turns.

      Brakes

      The 300mm front and 230mm rear discs get the job done. But a bike this heavy could use more bite and feedback at the lever. The dual-channel ABS is well calibrated and does not feel intrusive under hard braking. 

      City handling

      The wide handlebar helps you tip the bike into tight spaces, and once you're moving, it hides its weight well. Parking, though, especially in tight spots, reminds you that it’s not lightweight.

      Highway handling

      It feels stable at high speeds, even in crosswinds, which inspires confidence. And the relaxed front geometry helps it track straight for kilometers without twitchiness. A tall windscreen would have made the experience even better, in my opinion.

      Cornering

      It’s no supersport, so don’t expect those levels of agility, but the Dominar 250 holds its line well and offers decent lean angle clearance. The tyres don’t protest under spirited riding either unless you're really pushing them.

      Read More

      Verdict

      If you’re someone who wants a motorcycle that can commute, tour, and occasionally hustle through the twisties without costing a fortune, the Bajaj Dominar 250 is a solid choice. It’s not just a budget Dominar 400, it’s a genuinely capable all-rounder (something the 400 should have been right from the start).

      What makes it even more appealing are the latest updates that add thoughtful features and make the bike even more compelling. Yes, it has its flaws, like most motorcycles – it weighs too much, and the brakes aren’t great. But a comfortable tourer with enough power under Rs 2 lakh, it’s tough to beat.

      Rs 2.29 lakh

      Each of these bikes brings something different to the table. The KTM 250 Duke is the wild one. It’s super sharp, quick on its feet, and built for riders who like to push hard. But it also comes at a premium and doesn’t feel all that friendly when you’re spending long hours in the saddle.

      The FZ25, on the other hand, is the laid-back cousin. It’s light, easy to handle, and great for city duties. But it’s starting to show its age, and in a segment where features matter, it falls short.

      The Gixxer 250 is probably the most balanced of the lot. It’s quick, efficient, and refined. I actually enjoy how smooth it feels, especially around town. That said, the sloped rider seat does get annoying—it keeps pushing you toward the tank, and over time, that gets tiring.

      But here’s the thing: if you're anything like me and want a bike that can handle traffic, cruise comfortably on highways, join you on the occasional weekend trip, and still look like a proper big-bike without torching your savings, the Dominar 250 just makes a lot of sense. It feels solid, planted, and more grown-up than anything else in this segment.
