While borrowing styling from the Dominar 400, the Bajaj Dominar 250 takes its engine from the KTM 250 Duke. The Dominar 250 gets powered by a 249 cc, single cylinder, liquid cooled, 4 Stroke, DOHC, fuel injected engine offering 27 PS peak power at 8,500 rpm and 23.5 Nm torque at 6,500 rpm – mated to a 6 speed transmission.
Suspension set up will include USD forks in the front and monoshock at the rear. It will get smaller tyre sizes, different swing arm and regular rear view mirrors as compared to its 400cc counterpart so to keep prices in check. Braking will be via disc brakes on both wheels coupled with dual channel ABS as standard. Bajaj Dominar 250 will compete against the Suzuki Gixxer 250, KTM Duke 250, Husqvarna 250 and Yamaha FZ25.
