Built around Bajaj's naked motorcycle platform, the 2021 Bajaj Dominar 250 utilizes a 248.8 cc (15.2 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke layout. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 26.6 HP (19.4 kW) at 8,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 31.9 Nm (23.5 lb-ft) at 6,500 rpm. With a specific output of 106.9 HP per liter and a 2,000 rpm working window between peak torque (6,500 rpm) and peak power (8,500 rpm), the engine character is reflecting a performance-oriented street tune that balances strong mid-range pull with an energetic top-end rush.
On the scales, the Dominar 250 measures 180 kg (397 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.15 HP/kg (6.77 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 800 mm (31.5 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,453 mm (57.2 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 13-liter (3.4 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
