Bajaj Dominar 250, Dominar 400 become costlier: Check new prices
What's the story
Bajaj Auto has increased the prices of its flagship motorcycles, the Dominar 250 and Dominar 400. The updated prices are effective in India from July.
To note, this happens to be the second price revision this year for both bikes and they are now dearer by up to Rs. 6,400.
Both two-wheelers remain mechanically unaltered, featuring a Leo-inspired design language and comfortable riding posture.
Context
Why does this story matter?
Bajaj Auto took the Indian bike market by surprise with the launch of the Dominar 400 in 2016. Featuring a power-cruiser look, it quickly gained popularity among the long-distance touring groups on our shores.
The homegrown automaker then updated the Dominar line-up by adding a quarter-liter offering to appeal to younger buyers.
The recent price hike is likely done to offset rising input costs.
