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.

    The Bajai Dominar 250 a sports tourer that combines in a very compact package power, performance and style to offer you a dynamic and versatile motorbike. With its smart 250cc engine system, it is really adrenaline-packed destined to make sure each ride is marvel, with assumed power delivery and impressive acceleration. Characteristics like muscular styling ferocious lighting, digital instrumentation and twin-barrel exhaust, the Dominar 250 increase commanding presence on the road.

    Relaxing ride quality 

    The handling of Bajaj Dominar 250 is very well and its real speciality is the comfort and the suspension comfort is very good but the turing radius is not as expected. I really like the engine performance and it improves low and mid range perfomance but the weight is heavy. It gives great first impression and make the performance enjoyable and is very flexible in the traffic and gives relaxed city speed but gives vibration. It is very easy to ride in the 100 kmph of speed and the performance it offers is quite effortless.

    excellent looks, excellent rides 

    The Bajaj Dominar 250 is a feature-packed bike targeted at riders searching a comfortable and powerful option. It offers a mileage of 30-35 kilometers per liter in the city and 35-40 kilometers per liter on highways. It has a muscular design, LED headlamp, and split seats look. It provides me a decent comfort . The 248.8cc engine offers good power for my daily rides . However, keep in mind that it might not be the most fuel-efficient option in its segment.

    The Bajaj Dominar 250 offers the nice balance of celerity, affordability, and quality. Its strong machine and advanced appearance radiate refinement, and a broad diapason of riders may go it thanks to its reasonable pricing. A instigative riding experience can be had on both city Highways and vast roadways thanks to the smooth acceleration and precise running.

Still, the Dominar 250 is an charming option for suckers because to its outstanding Performance and reasonable freight, which elevate the bar for relaxation- traveling bikes.

    My Honest Take on the Bajaj Dominar 250 

    After spending a good few months riding around on the Bajaj Dominar 250 I feel ready to share what it has been like. This bike packs a decent punch with its 248.8 cc engine delivering a good blend of power and fuel efficiency for city rides and occasional highway sprints. The seating is comfy enough for daily rides and man does it handle super smoothly in traffic.But it is not all sunshine. For starters it feels a quiet heavy especially when trying to maneuver in tight spots. And while the bike looks premium I can not help but wish it had better mileage.
