Watch Video Review

Fuel prices may fluctuate, share prices may rise and fall, but the one thing that is constant apart from the drop in our country’s GDP is the Bajaj Dominar price hikes. Yes, the Bajaj Dominar 400 and the Dominar 250 have received yet another price hike. The Bajaj Dominar 400 now retails for Rs 1,97,758, an increment of Rs 1,500. On the other hand, the Dominar 250 is now dearer by Rs 1,625, priced at Rs 1,65,715. Both motorcycles had received a price hike in September 2020, when the Dominar 250 saw a hefty jump of Rs 4,090 and the flagship Dominar of Rs 1,507 (all prices, ex-showroom Delhi).

These price hikes have robbed the Dominar 400 of the VFM tag that we had bestowed upon it when it was launched last year for Rs 1.73 lakh. Bajaj may have its reasons to increase the prices of its Dominar range, but this will further affect sales especially with the festive season around the corner. Besides, despite the features and firepower, the Dominar range hasn’t been able to make a mark for itself. Its combined sales in August 2020 stood at around 2,000 units. Apart from the price bump, there have been no mechanical or cosmetic updates to the Bajaj cruisers.

Breaking Down BS6 Carburettors And Fuel Injection Explained

It’s now been nearly 4 months since BS6 emission norms came into effect, and almost all the bikes and scooters sold in India have been updated to meet the stricter regulations. Most recent among these to receive the updates was the TVS Scooty Zest BS6 , which was launched a couple of days ago at Rs 58,640. Like all the BS6 updates we’ve seen so far, this new version is more expensive than its BS4 predecessor, by around Rs 6,000 in this case. And the biggest reason behind these price hikes is the addition of a fuel-injection system. So what exactly is it? And how did bikes work before fuel-injection came into the picture? Let’s take a look: To understand why a fuel-injection (FI) system is needed, we first need to understand its predecessor: the carburettor. Both FI and carburettors do the same job: mixing air and fuel in the correct proportions before it’s sent into the engine. The diagram above shows a carburettor’s layout. Air enters at the top, flows through a narrow con...

BMW Motorrad Showcases Radical Electric Vision DC Roadster

The Vision DC Roadster takes the brands iconic 2-cylinder boxer engine design and gives it a rather interesting twist. The design was inspired by the BMW R 32 developed by Max Friz in 1923. BMW has also designed a two-piece functional suit that looks like a casual jacket and black trousers. BMW Motorrad is no newcomer to electric vehicles. We’ve already seen the brands Vision Next 100 concept which gave a glimpse of the company’s future vision. Now though, BMW intends to change our outlook on electric two-wheelers which are more often than not perceived as boring. And they plan on doing so with the Vision DC Roadster, an all-electric bike that gives the word unconventional a whole new meaning. The design team started off by taking its iconic 2-cylinder boxer engine and giving it a rather interesting twist. The idea was to retain its protruding design but incorporate it in an electric motor. The challenge was its packaging. You see, in an IC engine, the size of the motor ...
