The year 2017 marked the arrival of Bajaj Dominar 400 in the country. It was more affordable and comfortable than its chief rival and mechanical twin – KTM Duke 390. However, Bajaj could not sell a lot of them. In an attempt to score big numbers on the sales chart, Bajaj updated the Dominar 400 with a powerful iteration of the existing single-cylinder power plant along with upside forks at the front and a few more tweaks. While this worked in making the Dominar 400 a lucrative deal, it wasn’t enough to break the financial and psychological barrier that is often associated with a 400cc motorcycle. And, to work around it, Bajaj has now launched a smaller 250cc motorcycle under the Dominar umbrella. But, is it all the Dominar that buyers wanted from day 1? We find it out in our first ride review.
