The Bajaj Dominar 250 has been launched in India at a price of Rs. 1.60 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi). It is the baby Dominar and Bajaj Auto is looking to emulate the same success that it had with the Dominar 400. Bajaj is billing it as a Sport Touring machine, like its elder sibling and is looking to appeal to a larger audience. The Dominar 250 uses an engine based on the KTM 250 Duke. It gets a 248.8 cc single-cylinder engine which makes about 26 bhp at 8,500 rpm and has peak torque output of 23.5 Nm at 6,500 rpm. The engine of course is BS6 compliant. The engine is paired to a 6-speed gearbox with a slipper clutch. The Dominar 250 has a claimed top speed of 132 kmph and has a 0-100 kmph sprint time of 10.5 seconds.

Commenting on the Dominar 250 launch, Sarang Kanade, President - Motorcycles, Bajaj Auto Ltd. said, "The Dominar brand has been able to create a strong following for itself and has become the preferred choice for long distance tourers. Dominar riders have traversed five continents, conquered the Arctic and Antarctica, journeyed thousands of miles and pushed the Dominar 400 bike to its limits. Dominar 250 will be an ideal bike for aspiring riding enthusiasts who wish to get into the world of touring."
