While in the next 1-2 years, many lifestyle bikes are coming up. However, India still does not cope up with this concept. While one of the upcoming one in the Bajaj Dominar 200. The smaller version of the Dominar 400 will provide great styling with the grunty yet efficient engine. Read ahead to know more details.
The mini-power cruiser, Bajaj Dominar 200 is expected to launch by early 2019. It will be a more commuter-friendly version of the Dominar 400. While the 400cc variant is the most powerful one from Bajaj, the 200cc engine would provide immense power with decent mileage figures. It will look identical to the elder variant but will lose some features. Currently, Dominar 400 is priced at Rs 1.56 Lakhs (ex-showroom), giving a tough fight to the other cruisers as well as sports bikes in this price range. The 200cc one is expected to be priced around Rs 1.25 Lakhs (ex-showroom). This price range is quite competitive because most of the bikes here are performance oriented with good-looking designs. Read ahead to know more about the power cruiser.
The bike is expected to launch by 2019 with a price tag of around Rs 1.1 Lakh (ex-showroom). If that cheap, it would be a nice competition to the cruisers and well as naked bikes in that price range. Read on to know if the Bajaj Dominar 200 is in the offing and would make its mark by next year.

The Bajaj Dominar 200 will make use of the same engine as the Pulsar RS 200 (derived from KTM 200 Duke/RC 200). Also, it will be detuned a bit in the in the application. To keep costs in check, we think it will come with a single-channel ABS unit.
Bajaj Dominar 200 Launch Date
| Launch Date | Early 2019 |
While we think the Bajaj Dominar 200 will come to the market in early 2019. This is because the bike looks quite striking (more on this later) and in concept form, it attracted many eyeballs at previous auto expos.

Like we said earlier, the Dominar 200’s specs will be similar to those of Pulsar RS 200. The difference arises in power and torque figures, which are on the lower side for the smaller Dominar. However, the rest of the components should stay the same. Another thing to note here is that this bike will have retuned suspension. Expect its gear ratios to also be redone.

Bajaj Dominar 200 Mileage
| City Mileage | 36 kmpl |
| Highway Mileage | 40 kmpl |
Having a detuned engine in comparison to Pulsar RS 200 means the Dominar 200 will offer better mileage. However, don’t expect it to offer way better mileage over its Pulsar counterpart. This is because the Pulsar RS 200 has a full fairing to help it in aerodynamics department. The Dominar 200? Well, let’s just wish the wind blast is manageable at highway speeds on this bike.

In its detuned state, the 200cc engine of Dominar 200 should be able to push it to a top speed of 130kmph. Again, the lack of a fairing hurt this bike’s chances of doing higher speeds. The engine’s detuned state is of no help to the bike in this department either.

Bajaj Dominar 200 Design Review
The elder sibling of the Dominar 200, the Dominar 400, has a universally-likeable design. Bajaj touts this design to be inspired by a lion’s stance. The fact is that this bike looks well-proportioned. Since wires have been hidden well, the exposed bits like engine look clean on this bike. Expect this bike to look similar to maintain that familiarity, in terms of design, with its elder sibling. We do think that Bajaj will give it different alloy wheels to ensure it can be differentiated from its elder brother with ease. Also, it may not have LED DRLs to keep costs down. For this very reason, Bajaj may use projector headlamps (Pulsar 220) on the 200 than LED headlamps from the 400.
Bajaj Dominar 200 – Competition
If the bike is launched, it will mainly compete with sub-200 CC sports bikes along with the sub 200 CC cruisers. Within sports bikes, it will face competition with Apache RTR 2004V, Bajaj Pulsar NS200, KTM Duke 200 and more. Within cruisers, it will compete with Avenger Street 220, Avenger Cruise 220 and Suzuki Intruder. However, the pricing will be an advantage here. A lot of the bikes who have a lesser specs engine, compete with Dominar 400 on its pricing. So, the Dominar 200 might have a good hand over here as it will cost anything around Rs 1.10 Lakhs to Rs 1.25 Lakhs.
