  • The Dominar gets a smaller 250cc engine, but retains much of what makes the Dominar 400 so likeable. However, the question remains - can the heavy Dominar make do with over thirty percent less power? Rishaad Mody finds out.

      Nope! In general, a taller gear ratio means better fuel mileage and less noise, although you'll have to shift down if you need to overtake wheras short gearing gives quick acceleration and enough grunt at the low end.

    35k difference in price is worth it. If someone wants Dominar better pay more and get the bigger much better 400. Both bikes nearly weigh the same. This is just another v15 v12 story. Bajaj diluted Dominar brand with 250.

    • @RishaadMody1
      @RishaadMody1 4 года назад

      I think when people take a test ride of the D250, they'll be convinced otherwise. Genuinely likeable motorcycle.

    • @ragavendanvaradarajan3606
      @ragavendanvaradarajan3606 4 года назад

      Maybe they have intentionally limited the price difference to make more people go for the 400. A huge price difference would make a lot number of people go for the 250cc model.
      Another possibility is that since Dominar sales have been low so far, they have brought in this smaller version. Bajaj might have set a huge target of 10,000 per month for the Dominar 400 considering the sales of RE classic, but Dominar 400 sold less than 1000 units per month. It might be because people buying RE wouldn't bother about its lower quality and have a different taste, so they buy the retro bike rather than a high tech superior bike. So Bajaj can't expect the same sales there. And, until a few years ago, people would have hesitated to buy a massive 400cc bike from a brand like Bajaj, which was plagued with quality issues in the past.
      So, the 250cc model might be here to increase sales. Considering the current economic recession like situation, possibly even becoming a depression, a lower variant might work well to increase the sales figures.
