Dominar 250 fills the gap between a high-power touring bike and a fuel-efficient sports bike. The touring bike borrows every element from its elder sibling Dominar 400 except for the engine. This makes it slightly heavier for its segment.
The engine provides good torque. But the overall weight of the bike is very heavy. Rather than having similar looks as of Dominar 400, it could have a new look. The smooth gearbox and excellent brakes, help you have a good grip and control the speed of the bike.
It goes against and gives cutthroat competition to Suzuki Gixxer 250, Yamaha FZS 25, KTM 250 Duke, and Apache RTR 200 4V.
