Engine Displacement: 248.77 cc
The Dominar 250 features a 248.77 cc, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled, DOHC engine. This engine is essentially a reworked version of the KTM Duke 250 unit, but tuned by Bajaj to provide a more "relaxed" and linear power delivery, making it better suited for long-distance highway cruising than aggressive street racing.
Max Power: 27 PS @ 8500 rpm
It produces 27 PS of power, which is plenty for maintaining steady speeds of 100–110 km/h on the highway. While it has 13 PS less than its 400cc sibling, the power delivery is remarkably smooth, with a strong emphasis on mid-range performance.
Max Torque: 23.5 Nm @ 6500 rpm
The 23.5 Nm of torque allows for easy overtaking and effortless climbing on hilly roads. The engine is "tractable," meaning you don't have to shift gears as frequently in city traffic compared to higher-revving sportbikes.
Fuel System: Fuel Injection (FI)
The advanced FI system ensures optimal combustion and fuel efficiency. It also provides a crisp throttle response and ensures the bike starts reliably in the cold mornings of the Nepalese hills.
Top Speed: 132 km/h
The Dominar 250 can reach a top speed of approximately 132 km/h. While it’s not as fast as the 400, it feels very composed and vibration-free at cruising speeds of 90–100 km/h.
Mileage: 32–35 kmpl
Riders typically report an average mileage of around 32–35 kmpl. This efficiency, combined with its 13-liter fuel tank, gives it a decent touring range of over 400 km.
