A Little Tweak

Bajaj has updated its flagship motorcycle to take on the increasing competition in the 250cc to 400cc segment.

A Little Tweak

The Indian automotive space has become increasingly competitive in recent times, in terms of both the number of products as well as the manufacturers offering them. Every major bike maker is now operating in India, and, consequently, we’re finally witnessing a massive surge in the number of affordable enthusiast motorcycles that are available to the masses. In the 250cc to 400cc segment, there are now 15 motorcycles that you can choose from. One of the most popular models in this segment is the Bajaj Dominar, which, incidentally, also happens to be one of the pioneers of this space. But things have changed a lot since it was first launched, and the competition has certainly gotten a lot more fierce. So, Bajaj has tweaked the Dominar to ensure that it stays competitive and in tune with the times.

Improved design

The first Dominar looked good, no doubt, but the little changes that the new Dominar has undergone make it look even better. The bike still has a muscular and compact power cruiser design on a perimeter frame – a great combination of aggression and elegance. However, what really stood out on our test bike was the new green colour that seems to be borrowed from Kawasaki. There’s no other manufacturer, other than Bajaj’s Japanese partner, that uses this unmistakeably unique green paint job. Needless to say, it looks amazing on the Dominar.

The green paint aside, the other changes include an upside-down 43mm front fork that adds some muscle and strength to the bike’s character, and a dual exhaust setup instead of the earlier single one. The headlight has also undergone some changes, and has now become more compact.
