Recently Asked User Questions

Q. I'm a beginner, Which bike is the best for me XPulse 200, Dominar 250, Can you help?
  • Being a beginner doesnt matter much if you ask me. But I will say the XPulse200 will be easier to handle and throw around. But, the ride and ergonomics of both these vehicles are entirely different and I suggest you test ride them both and make your decision.
  • Yes rightly said I have Xpulse it is very light , much affordable infact the only affordable lightest 200 bike with is offroading tourer in entire world
  • Hi im 39 about 5 11 tall and im a beginner which bike is better for me in 150cc range
Q. Which bike to buy Dominar 250, Svartpilen 250 or 250 Duke for touring and daily commute?
  • But doesn't the weight and turning radius for dominar makes its handling difficult in city and for daily commute. Traffic manoeuvring is also difficult. So if someone does commute mostly and touring occasionally, the other two are more suitable
  • Ofcourse svartpilen..
  • Svartpilen250
Q. Which bike has a better break power, Dominar 250 or Gixxer 250?
  • Both Suzuki Gixxer 250 and Bajaj Dominar 250 are good bike. However, the baby Dominar is the one that offers better braking performance between the two. In our tests, the Dominar 400 was a ferocious braker. It’s got the smaller 300mm front disc with a radial caliper and a 230mm rear disc. But surprisingly, even with all its weight, it managed incredibly short braking distances -- just 31.53 metres from 80kmph to a standstill and 18.50 metres from 60kmph. Moreover, we would suggest you to take a test ride for a better understanding of performance and comfort. You may click on the link and select your desired city for dealership details.

    Dominar 250 power 

    I've ridde­n the Bajaj Dominar 250 for some time now. It's be­en a thrilling ride! This sporty cruiser's powe­rful engine makes e­very trip fun. The riding position is comfortable too. It's also one­ of the least expe­nsive bikes in its category. You ge­t great value for your money. Howe­ver, one downside is the­ suspension can feel a bit stiff. This is e­specially true on rough roads. But, despite­ this small issue, the Bajaj Dominar 250 is a fantastic choice. It's pe­rfect for riders who want performance­, style, and affordability in a cruiser bike.

    End torque 

    Here are my thoughts on the upcoming royal enfield himalayan 450 motorcycle: overall features and stylingfrom what i've seen so far, The himalayan 450 retains the rugged, Adventurous styling of the current himalayan 411 but with some nice upgrades.The exposed frame and off-road oriented design are still there, But the 450 adds some sharper lines and a more muscular fuel tank for a modern look.Some key features include switchable abs, A tripper navigation pod, And an lcd display with turn-by-turn navigation.These are great features for an adventure touring bike.The styling strikes a good balance between rugged and refined.Expectationsi'm expecting the 450cc engine to provide a noticeable power bump over the 411cc motor in the current himalayan - perhaps around 30hp.This should make cruising at highway speeds more relaxed while still delivering excellent low-end torque for off-road riding.The weight is also reportedly lower, Which should improve handling.Overall, The 450 looks like a nicely improved evolution of the proven himalayan platform.My expectations are high for a more powerful, Lighter and feature-rich middleweight adventure tourer.Likelihood of purchasei'd say there's a good chance i'll seriously consider purchasing the himalayan 450 when it becomes available.It hits a real sweet spot in terms of power, Capability and price.The addition of navigation, Abs and other features make it an even more well-rounded package.As an experienced adventure rider currently without a middleweight tourer in my garage, The royal enfield ticks a lot of boxes for my needs and budget.Unless reviews reveal any major flaws, I could see myself purchasing a himalayan 450 in the future as my main adventure touring motorcycle.It looks like an excellent value proposition in the segment.

    Awesome Bike 

    The Enfield Himalayan is an outstanding bike, known for its light and easy-to-ride nature. The convenience of the self-starter eliminates the need for kick-starting, and the effective side stand makes parking effortless. The digital central console is user-friendly and easy to read. While designed primarily for off-road applications, its ride handling on city roads is commendable. The bike's rugged and distinctive appearance adds to its appeal, and the engine springs to life effortlessly with the self-start button. Smooth and easy gear shifts enhance the overall riding experience. The Himalayan is not only easy to handle but also versatile, suitable for both city commuting and off-road adventures. Although yet to be taken on the highway for off-road travel, it stands out as a great bike that excels in both urban and adventurous settings.Royal Enfield has successfully delivered a winner in this segment, offering an affordable option that is truly impressive. A potential owner myself, I am drawn to its overall greatness.
