Bajaj Dominar 250 Overview & Review
The Bajaj Dominar 250 makes the commanding road presence, perimeter chassis dynamics, and long-distance touring comfort of the Dominar family accessible to quarter-litre riders. Powered by a refined 248.77cc liquid-cooled DOHC engine producing 27 PS and 23.5 Nm of torque, it features 37mm upside-down (USD) front forks, dual-channel ABS, an assist and slipper clutch, and twin-barrel exhaust. It delivers the plush highway composure and big-bike aesthetics of a premium power cruiser with more manageable city weight, smoother low-speed manners, and lower running costs.
Propulsion comes from an advanced 248.77cc single-cylinder, liquid-cooled, 4-valve DOHC engine with electronic fuel injection, derived from proven quarter-litre architecture. It develops 27 PS at 8,500 rpm and 23.5 Nm of peak torque at 6,500 rpm, channeled through a 6-speed manual gearbox with an assist and slipper clutch. The engine is tuned for smooth, linear torque spread: unlike peaky track bikes, it offers rich pulling power throughout the midrange, cruising comfortably at 100 to 110 km/h with practically zero stress.
Built around the same robust pressed-steel beam-type perimeter frame as the Dominar 400, the Dominar 250 offers class-leading torsional stiffness. Its front suspension uses 37mm upside-down (USD) forks that absorb rough road ripples with ease, while the rear features a multi-step adjustable Nitrox gas-charged monoshock. The tyre sizes are optimized for agile city steering: 100/80-17 front and 130/70-17 rear tubeless tyres allow the motorcycle to steer significantly lighter than its larger 400cc sibling.
Ergonomics prioritize all-day touring comfort, offering an upright seating posture, wide rubber-mounted handlebars that dampen vibrations, and a deeply cushioned rider seat set at an accessible 800mm. The pillion seat is wide and well-supported, equipped with sturdy split grab rails. The digital cockpit display provides clear readouts of speed, trip data, fuel gauge, and service alerts. With a 13-litre fuel tank and a realistic mixed-cycle fuel economy of 33 to 36 km/l, the Dominar 250 delivers a touring range exceeding 430 km.
