5000-15000 km

Got mileage of

29 kmpl

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.

    If we talk about the engine it is awesome and has good torque if we talk about the speed it goes up to 156km/h and "132km/h" in 5th gear and 100km/h just in 6 sec, if you are a city rider bike will give you 29 to 32 mileage in long ride (highway) bike will give you 35to37 mileage, i am riding this beast from 1year and I'm fully satisfied,

    Mannoj

    The buying experience of was ok not too good and not too bad either coming to the riding experience I have owned this bike for 10 months now and it is worth owning it. In this budget, I would tell you this is the most underrated and best sports tourer. Service is good they support you with every issue you have but the cost is slightly on the higher side for a 250cc rest all is good and talking about the cons the only downside I find in the bike is panel gaps.

  • “Dominar 250: My Unwavering Choice”

    29 weeks ago


    Rahul

    In Pursuit of Dominance: My Journey with the Dominar
    * The buying experience largely depends on the dealership and your interaction with them
    * The riding experience is “so good as butter.” But a riding glove is advisable and mild vibrations are felt at specific speeds & RPM
    * The Dominar 250 offers a smooth and enjoyable ride, both on highways and in the city
    * While it may not have the sharp aesthetics of some other bikes (like KTM), the Dominar still looks cool.
    * Servicing and maintenance depend on the service center you choose. Choose a reliable service center. Always refer to the owner’s manual for service details. Cross-check the services performed on your vehicle.
    * Bajaj’s separate service personnel for Dominar bikes are commendable.
    * However, if the experienced Dominar service staff are unavailable (due to leave or other reasons), it can be challenging. Minor issues during servicing are common across brands. The same applies here as well
    Pros:
    Weight and Stability:
    * Feeling the weight initially is normal, but you’ll get used to it.
    * The Dominar’s weight contributes to stability on highways.
    * Those who dismiss the bike due to its weight might miss out on a hidden gem.
    Weight-Performance Balance:
    * Despite its weight, the Dominar 250 performs admirably.
    * The bike’s weight doesn’t hinder its overall performance, which is a positive aspect.
    Side View Mirror:
    * Well-designed mirrors enhance safety and convenience.
    Riding Position and Exhaust Note:
    * The stock-raised handlebars and riding position contribute to rider comfort.
    * The exhaust note, particularly in lower gears and at idle is a beautiful rhythm.
    * Even if you don’t consciously notice it during city rides, pillion will appreciate it.
    For a biker, it makes their day awesome!
    Moderate Electronics:
    * If you prefer a bike with fewer electronics like me, the Dominar 250 fits the bill.
    * It features dual-channel ABS and an ECU, striking a balance between technology and simplicity.
    * Unlike KTM bikes, it doesn’t overwhelm with excessive electronic aids.
    Headlight:
    * The Dominar 250 comes equipped with a powerful headlight that provides excellent illumination and is sufficient for most riding conditions.
    * Unless you’re venturing into extreme foggy areas in Himalayan regions, additional lighting modifications are unnecessary as white headlight in snow doesn’t make sense there.
    Cons:
    Rear Tyre Profile:
    * Comparing the Dominar 250 to other bikes in the same segment or Yamaha’s 150cc bikes, the rear tire profile is smaller.
    * While you may not notice this during regular riding, some riders experience cornering issues.
    * Keep in mind that tire conditions play a role, and upgrading beyond the manufacturer’s recommended size isn’t advisable.
    * Manufacturers have dedicated R&D teams who understand what’s best for the vehicle.
    Parking and Turning Radius:
    * Manoeuvring in tight spaces can be challenging due to the high turning radius.
    * Not a daily issue but worth noting.
    Windshield and mobile charger Absence:
    * Excessive wind can be tiring during long rides.
    * If you prefer the stock visor from the Dominar 400 Adventure Kit, it’s a good choice compared to aftermarket options.
    * At least the mobile charger could’ve been included as this is a sports tourer bike.
    Rear Brakes:
    * Rear brakes might feel spongy.
    * While some sponginess is common in heavy bikes, Bajaj should definitely improve rear breaking in future models
    * Skilled riders often use a combination of engine braking and both front and rear brakes for effective stopping. so, act like a pro!
    Ground Clearance:
    *Ground clearance is subjective and depends on individual riding styles and preferences.
    *Personally found it adequate, even during mild off-road rides.
    * The bike’s built-in protection helps prevent any exceptional significant hits to the underbody.
    On my journey from Coimbatore to Hyderabad & vice versa, I was 101% satisfied with it. Before selecting D250, I test-drove Gixxer 250, vstorm 250, and fz 25 were not available at that time, as Hunter, Himalayan 411, 450, and Scram 411. But the Dominar 250 stood out. Its performance, comfort, design, and versatility convinced me—it’s the one. It might be subjective. Have a comparison and go on your preference. Join the Dominar Clan and let the road be your canvas!

    5000-15000 km

    Tips for other riders

    Do periodic maintenance by visiting authorised service centre. Do chain lube once every 500 kms/ after rain. As Bajaj's recommended engine oil change frequency is every 10000 kms. It's better to change it after a very long continuous ride of 3000 - 4000 kms or every 5000-6000. Check for the level of engine oil, if it's low just get 2x100 ml of oil from auth.spares and top up it. (check it once in 4 months/ before/ after long rides). Don't wait until fuel indicator die, refuel when it comes between 2 points - when it starts blinking. That's it, the "Dominance of Dominar will last longer!"

  • “Dominar 250: My Unwavering Choice”

    29 weeks ago


    Rahul

    In Pursuit of Dominance: My Journey with the Dominar
    * The buying experience largely depends on the dealership and your interaction with them
    * The riding experience is “so good as butter.” But a riding glove is advisable and mild vibrations are felt at specific speeds & RPM
    * The Dominar 250 offers a smooth and enjoyable ride, both on highways and in the city
    * While it may not have the sharp aesthetics of some other bikes (like KTM), the Dominar still looks cool.
    * Servicing and maintenance depend on the service center you choose. Choose a reliable service center. Always refer to the owner’s manual for service details. Cross-check the services performed on your vehicle.
    * Bajaj’s separate service personnel for Dominar bikes are commendable.
    * However, if the experienced Dominar service staff are unavailable (due to leave or other reasons), it can be challenging. Minor issues during servicing are common across brands. The same applies here as well
    Pros:
    Weight and Stability:
    * Feeling the weight initially is normal, but you’ll get used to it.
    * The Dominar’s weight contributes to stability on highways.
    * Those who dismiss the bike due to its weight might miss out on a hidden gem.
    Weight-Performance Balance:
    * Despite its weight, the Dominar 250 performs admirably.
    * The bike’s weight doesn’t hinder its overall performance, which is a positive aspect.
    Side View Mirror:
    * Well-designed mirrors enhance safety and convenience.
    Riding Position and Exhaust Note:
    * The stock-raised handlebars and riding position contribute to rider comfort.
    * The exhaust note, particularly in lower gears and at idle is a beautiful rhythm.
    * Even if you don’t consciously notice it during city rides, pillion will appreciate it.
    For a biker, it makes their day awesome!
    Moderate Electronics:
    * If you prefer a bike with fewer electronics like me, the Dominar 250 fits the bill.
    * It features dual-channel ABS and an ECU, striking a balance between technology and simplicity.
    * Unlike KTM bikes, it doesn’t overwhelm with excessive electronic aids.
    Headlight:
    * The Dominar 250 comes equipped with a powerful headlight that provides excellent illumination and is sufficient for most riding conditions.
    * Unless you’re venturing into extreme foggy areas in Himalayan regions, additional lighting modifications are unnecessary as white headlight in snow doesn’t make sense there.
    Cons:
    Rear Tyre Profile:
    * Comparing the Dominar 250 to other bikes in the same segment or Yamaha’s 150cc bikes, the rear tire profile is smaller.
    * While you may not notice this during regular riding, some riders experience cornering issues.
    * Keep in mind that tire conditions play a role, and upgrading beyond the manufacturer’s recommended size isn’t advisable.
    * Manufacturers have dedicated R&D teams who understand what’s best for the vehicle.
    Parking and Turning Radius:
    * Manoeuvring in tight spaces can be challenging due to the high turning radius.
    * Not a daily issue but worth noting.
    Windshield and mobile charger Absence:
    * Excessive wind can be tiring during long rides.
    * If you prefer the stock visor from the Dominar 400 Adventure Kit, it’s a good choice compared to aftermarket options.
    * At least the mobile charger could’ve been included as this is a sports tourer bike.
    Rear Brakes:
    * Rear brakes might feel spongy.
    * While some sponginess is common in heavy bikes, Bajaj should definitely improve rear breaking in future models
    * Skilled riders often use a combination of engine braking and both front and rear brakes for effective stopping. so, act like a pro!
    Ground Clearance:
    *Ground clearance is subjective and depends on individual riding styles and preferences.
    *Personally found it adequate, even during mild off-road rides.
    * The bike’s built-in protection helps prevent any exceptional significant hits to the underbody.
    On my journey from Coimbatore to Hyderabad & vice versa, I was 101% satisfied with it. Before selecting D250, I test-drove Gixxer 250, vstorm 250, and fz 25 were not available at that time, as Hunter, Himalayan 411, 450, and Scram 411. But the Dominar 250 stood out. Its performance, comfort, design, and versatility convinced me—it’s the one. It might be subjective. Have a comparison and go on your preference. Join the Dominar Clan and let the road be your canvas!

    5000-15000 km

    Tips for other riders

    Do periodic maintenance by visiting authorised service centre. Do chain lube once every 500 kms/ after rain. As Bajaj's recommended engine oil change frequency is every 10000 kms. It's better to change it after a very long continuous ride of 3000 - 4000 kms or every 5000-6000. Check for the level of engine oil, if it's low just get 2x100 ml of oil from auth.spares and top up it. (check it once in 4 months/ before/ after long rides). Don't wait until fuel indicator die, refuel when it comes between 2 points - when it starts blinking. That's it, the "Dominance of Dominar will last longer!"

    Mannoj

    The buying experience of was ok not too good and not too bad either coming to the riding experience I have owned this bike for 10 months now and it is worth owning it. In this budget, I would tell you this is the most underrated and best sports tourer. Service is good they support you with every issue you have but the cost is slightly on the higher side for a 250cc rest all is good and talking about the cons the only downside I find in the bike is panel gaps.

    Vinay Bhat

    If we talk about the engine it is awesome and has good torque if we talk about the speed it goes up to 156km/h and "132km/h" in 5th gear and 100km/h just in 6 sec, if you are a city rider bike will give you 29 to 32 mileage in long ride (highway) bike will give you 35to37 mileage, i am riding this beast from 1year and I'm fully satisfied,

    Change the oil after 2500km for the best result and for a long bike life, use tubeless tires, always keep an eye on brake oil and coolant oil, and always lube chains on time don't keep them dry for a long time

  • Ownership review

    25 weeks ago


    Mannoj

    The buying experience of was ok not too good and not too bad either coming to the riding experience I have owned this bike for 10 months now and it is worth owning it. In this budget, I would tell you this is the most underrated and best sports tourer. Service is good they support you with every issue you have but the cost is slightly on the higher side for a 250cc rest all is good and talking about the cons the only downside I find in the bike is panel gaps.

    5) PROS
    . Good in handling
    . Good in touring

    . Very much heavier
    . Low mileage even under the speed of 40 to 50 kmph(24KM)
    . Very low power as compared to competitor
    . Very low speed 135 top speed
    . No Bluetooth connectivity
    . Average fuel consumption is not a proper prediction.

  • “Dominar 250: My Unwavering Choice”

    29 weeks ago


    Rahul

    In Pursuit of Dominance: My Journey with the Dominar
    * The buying experience largely depends on the dealership and your interaction with them
    * The riding experience is “so good as butter.” But a riding glove is advisable and mild vibrations are felt at specific speeds & RPM
    * The Dominar 250 offers a smooth and enjoyable ride, both on highways and in the city
    * While it may not have the sharp aesthetics of some other bikes (like KTM), the Dominar still looks cool.
    * Servicing and maintenance depend on the service center you choose. Choose a reliable service center. Always refer to the owner’s manual for service details. Cross-check the services performed on your vehicle.
    * Bajaj’s separate service personnel for Dominar bikes are commendable.
    * However, if the experienced Dominar service staff are unavailable (due to leave or other reasons), it can be challenging. Minor issues during servicing are common across brands. The same applies here as well
    Pros:
    Weight and Stability:
    * Feeling the weight initially is normal, but you’ll get used to it.
    * The Dominar’s weight contributes to stability on highways.
    * Those who dismiss the bike due to its weight might miss out on a hidden gem.
    Weight-Performance Balance:
    * Despite its weight, the Dominar 250 performs admirably.
    * The bike’s weight doesn’t hinder its overall performance, which is a positive aspect.
    Side View Mirror:
    * Well-designed mirrors enhance safety and convenience.
    Riding Position and Exhaust Note:
    * The stock-raised handlebars and riding position contribute to rider comfort.
    * The exhaust note, particularly in lower gears and at idle is a beautiful rhythm.
    * Even if you don’t consciously notice it during city rides, pillion will appreciate it.
    For a biker, it makes their day awesome!
    Moderate Electronics:
    * If you prefer a bike with fewer electronics like me, the Dominar 250 fits the bill.
    * It features dual-channel ABS and an ECU, striking a balance between technology and simplicity.
    * Unlike KTM bikes, it doesn’t overwhelm with excessive electronic aids.
    Headlight:
    * The Dominar 250 comes equipped with a powerful headlight that provides excellent illumination and is sufficient for most riding conditions.
    * Unless you’re venturing into extreme foggy areas in Himalayan regions, additional lighting modifications are unnecessary as white headlight in snow doesn’t make sense there.
    Cons:
    Rear Tyre Profile:
    * Comparing the Dominar 250 to other bikes in the same segment or Yamaha’s 150cc bikes, the rear tire profile is smaller.
    * While you may not notice this during regular riding, some riders experience cornering issues.
    * Keep in mind that tire conditions play a role, and upgrading beyond the manufacturer’s recommended size isn’t advisable.
    * Manufacturers have dedicated R&D teams who understand what’s best for the vehicle.
    Parking and Turning Radius:
    * Manoeuvring in tight spaces can be challenging due to the high turning radius.
    * Not a daily issue but worth noting.
    Windshield and mobile charger Absence:
    * Excessive wind can be tiring during long rides.
    * If you prefer the stock visor from the Dominar 400 Adventure Kit, it’s a good choice compared to aftermarket options.
    * At least the mobile charger could’ve been included as this is a sports tourer bike.
    Rear Brakes:
    * Rear brakes might feel spongy.
    * While some sponginess is common in heavy bikes, Bajaj should definitely improve rear breaking in future models
    * Skilled riders often use a combination of engine braking and both front and rear brakes for effective stopping. so, act like a pro!
    Ground Clearance:
    *Ground clearance is subjective and depends on individual riding styles and preferences.
    *Personally found it adequate, even during mild off-road rides.
    * The bike’s built-in protection helps prevent any exceptional significant hits to the underbody.
    On my journey from Coimbatore to Hyderabad & vice versa, I was 101% satisfied with it. Before selecting D250, I test-drove Gixxer 250, vstorm 250, and fz 25 were not available at that time, as Hunter, Himalayan 411, 450, and Scram 411. But the Dominar 250 stood out. Its performance, comfort, design, and versatility convinced me—it’s the one. It might be subjective. Have a comparison and go on your preference. Join the Dominar Clan and let the road be your canvas!

    5000-15000 km

    Tips for other riders

    Do periodic maintenance by visiting authorised service centre. Do chain lube once every 500 kms/ after rain. As Bajaj's recommended engine oil change frequency is every 10000 kms. It's better to change it after a very long continuous ride of 3000 - 4000 kms or every 5000-6000. Check for the level of engine oil, if it's low just get 2x100 ml of oil from auth.spares and top up it. (check it once in 4 months/ before/ after long rides). Don't wait until fuel indicator die, refuel when it comes between 2 points - when it starts blinking. That's it, the "Dominance of Dominar will last longer!"
