Bajaj Dominar 250 Price in Balangir

Hard to handle, the turn radius is pretty much so controlling is a bit tough, only for long drives. Recommended for above 5.9 feet. Reliability is high. Weight is a bit more so good for highways. The mileage is nearly 35, actually, I have not checked properly. Service center employees don't know the optimized servicing of the bike. The pillion sits comfortably with an added backrest. The overall bike is good to go.

About the Reviewer

Well hello !! peeps if you came to read about the dominar250 review read till last paragraph.
First, we will discuss about my experience and review of dominar 250
My odo: 10,800km
Design& aesthetics (looks). 4/5
this also depends on people's choice but for me, it is great god!! look at those headlamps and that design genuinely feels like a big bike.And there are two colour options available black&red so depending on what you like pick one I choose black cause it's more like a 400 . If you're not picky and looking from a far-off distance or at a glimpse you can't really differentiate between 250 or 400 if you opt for black and those tyres do look well!! on it . This machine will grab a lot of eyeballs for sure! and that exhaust man i loved it and probably the main reason to go for it and you need not go for aftermarket things cause stock one does the duty very well. So ya it's a good-looking bike overall
Suspension &brakes: (4/5)
Well coming to this the front forks handle very well at almost every small-medium scale potholes so no problem as such from the front end. But the rear end is a bit stiff as you know it's adjustable u can adjust that for your liking make sure you do that while taking the delivery caused the stock set-up is a bit stiff. But even after adjusting you won't find a large difference but a little but enough of that so overall rear suspension is a downside though. Don't expect that with this set up you can corner or flick like a street fighter cause due to its long wheelbase it's pretty hard. So don't take this to extreme corners and also don't run this into big potholes cause you may end up in seal breaks of front suspension cause these are usd they are a bit sensitive in comparison to telescopic
So careful cause this can end in burning your wallet.Coming to the brakes this is equipped with dual channel abs so no wheel locking it works pretty well. Where it impressed me a lot .. At first, I thought due to their weight these brakes may not have a bite but I was proven wrong as they have a great bite so no problem with that.At low speeds, these work great and even at 60 you can get into standstill after 4-6seconds
Comfort: (3.5/5)
Well, it happens with almost all the bikes with stock settings as seats are not great. Even on this one but it can handle 200-250km in a single stretch then you keep getting cramps and butt ache so better go with air seats.So not everyone goes for long tours daily so for commuting this offers more than enough comfort.But for pillion, this setup is uncomfortable for even intermediate riders like more than 70km as you won't have a grip for a pillion to rely on although this one has to grab rails their function is limited.And if you are planning for a triple (though it's illegal) but in case of emergency then don't even think of it cause you won't even have proper space to get seated. If you're a solo rider then no problem but if you are travelling with a pillion then it's a bit irritating .. I rated it low cause this bike promotes itself as a tourer.For the tourer, comfort is the highest priority both for the rider as well as the pillion. Cause almost all my pillions felt uncomfortable
Practicality:(4/5)
Here we discuss the mileage&luggage capacity it can carry and its maintenance. Well, mileage depends on how you maintain and ride your bike so it varies from person to person so if you an intermediate guy who revs occasionally then probably you may end up getting 25-27 km/lin city /town on the highway this may go up to 30-33 km/l don't expect this to be an economical bike that gives you 40+ km/l.So I am a gentle rider so I fare about 30-31 km/l on average. Coming to luggage carrying capacity you can have a tank bag and strap your extra luggage on the back with chords. But the bungee straps are much to no use if you are going with more weight like post 15kg cause mine are torn when i went for a ride with 23kilo strapped from them so try to change or you can tie bungee chords around you can also pick any accessories of dominar 400 cause those can fit with 250 as well like saddle stays windshield /knuckle guards etc..
Performance:(4/5)
As this is a 250cc motor don't expect this to perform like the ktm s or Husqvarna it's rather a gentle one but has a super strong mid-range pull post 4k till 8k it pulls like mad...!!!.And also this engine feels smooth by bajaj standards. But sadly engine feels sluggish at lower speeds and I feel like there is a lack of punch from 2-3k rpm . It's a mid-range motor so don't pull this to the extreme you may end up getting high vibes. Bajaj tried really hard to tune the nature of the engine and somehow succeeded to an extent but not completely. It does still feel like a ktm 250 at times.(if you on 60 kmph in top gear and need to overtake a vehicle then you won't find acceleration immediately you need to downshift then you can proceed) .This but for cruising this one is like heaven for it here the weight factor is a major plus cause this makes the bike more touched to the road so no crosswind issues you can cruise smoothly from 70-90km/hr through the day you won't find any complaint from the engine also the gearbox is smooth and slick u won't end up in getting false neutrals and all that stuff and the addition of slipper clutch also boon to this so this works great and a 6 th gear always good for touring. Cause it's more like a cruising gear you won't find pull from it but keeps the revs down and smoothens the engine.And also u can go at higher gears at lower speeds in city traffic scenarios with no fuss in the motor. Personally, I haven't touched post 100km/hr but my friends did that and had no complaints till 120km/hr but post that vibes kick in from almost every part (i am pillion in these scenarios) . Coming to top speed my friend made about 142km/hr on the odometer.
Features: (3.5/5)
Here we get a ton of practically no-use features like, tell tale lights of secondary display like big bajaj logo and low battery indicator, fi failure &bungee straps that are of limited to no use . Although there are some features that are good like a side stand cut off. And all led layout which offers good visibility even at night . What I personally feel bad about is there should have been a gear position indicator.Also the rear tyre could have been improved.As a beginner and intermediate rider, you won't find any trouble with tyres but mrf's are mrf's so if you do wanna change then u can go. But for me the stock tyres are good and offer a decent grip.
Verdict:
If you wanna grab one that looks &feels like a big bike in the below 2lakh segment and has touring capabilities along with city friendliness then this is the bike you should go for. Also the value you are getting for your money is also good.

About the Reviewer

This bike is multi-purpose and can be used for daily commute. You can take this bike for a long ride with all comfort. Has good initial power you can drag race also
You can easily go for off-roading as well since it has good ground clearance. Anyone with 5'5 height can easily ride.
Only one thing is missing - gear indicator apart from this I don't find any problem. Just Ride safe.
