        This bike is fully powerful, and its braking is perfect. The look gives a gangster-like feel. I bought this bike mainly for its performance thanks to Bajaj for making such a great bike.

        The Dominar 250 is an excellent choice for riders who want a mix of daily usability and touring potential without jumping to the 400cc segment. If you're looking for a muscular, reliable, and comfortable bike under 2.50 lakhs, the Dominar 250 deserves serious consideration.

        The bike is good with enough torque which pushes the bike to its limit, the design is also very fair with sporty looks, the mileage which i got is 35 on the average speed of 50-60 kmpl, the comfort of this bike is standard as it is a sports bike thats why we have to bend little bit, for long rides this bike is little bit stressful due to it’s sitting posture, the features of this bike is fair enough with modern day features which it provides
