The Suzuki Gixxer 250 has proved to be an amazing motorcycle. It’s ticked off so many boxes in the 250cc segment that it’s been super easy to recommend to you, #PDArmy. But now, Bajaj’s downsized the Dominar 400 into a 250cc motorcycle that we think is actually a better product than the original 400! So fireworks are to be expected when the Bajaj takes on the Suzuki. We went for a ride to figure out who makes the best 250 in the segment today. Let the battle commence! Watch the video and comment! We want to know what you think!

I own a D250 and weight isn’t such big of an issue once you start moving, it’s only noticeable once I need to take it out of my parking lot. On the highways though it remains rock solid and planted to the ground. Plus the red color is a head turner! (Not to forget the amazing exhaust note which is so pleasing to the ears)
Bro..can u tell me the mileage of ur d250??
Cheers Aryan! Glad you’re loving it! But planted and weight aren’t connected to each other as closely as you think
@@ahamadhussainthakurai4535 my Domi250 gives around 33 in city and 31 on highways.... but if you pull it on every corner the economy drops to 29.... the top speed u get on domi is 153kmph i personally have achieved it.
@@roopampatel1277 thanks for reply
@@ahamadhussainthakurai4535 I get anywhere around 35-40kmpl (city and highway combined)
Gixxer managed to retain the weight despite bs6 👍
Gixxer was launched as bs6- ready , even many reviewers mentioned it , maybe that's one reason
"Starting with weight"!!
Let's take a minute to appreciate how he hinted at the giveaway answer 🙏
Drawback of Dominer:- small rare tyre. And small front suspension and the main weight is too heavy for 250cc bikes...
Cycle chala phir
Still Domonars USD front suspension are better than Gixxer's telescopic.
The First Comaparison was The Kerb Weight that Gixxer SF Leads in comparison With Domi.......
@Powerdrift
First comparison was about the weight of the two motorbikes in which the GF has the head over the Dominar.
" Dominor 250 weighs 180kg whereas Gixxer 250 weighs just 161kg - which makes it easier to flick around"
Great comparo guys..!! Keep doing this kinda stuffs, which motivates us and keeps us informative.
The 1st advantage the Gixxer has over the Dominar is the weight. It is lighter and more agile than the Dominar at slow speeds.
People don't care about the weight in royal enfield motorcycles but when it comes to bajaj (dominar) they highlight it like it's a big problem that affects the bike and u can't control it well in city😒😒😒 . LoL
the point to be noted is that re 350 is a cruiser and mostly you wont rip it around the city,.......... on the otherhand dominar is a power cruiser which means you will rip it around and thats where the weight of it can be a bit robbing the performance of the motorcycle.
Very true...dominar 250 is not hard to ride in cities...you will get used to it within a week or less
@@nikhilikshwak8397
I think you should check at the road first. Then maybe you realise how many people use RE for day to day ride..
@@UmeshB8811 he means to say is RE le k Bhai lahriya maroge to chitra jaoge.. 😂 and even though it is used for day to day usage.. lahriya ye SB bike k Jaise Marne Ka koiss koi ni hi krega jldi re se 😂
RE is for men bro. 😎
1:32 pointed by sumi....gixxer 161 kg.
Dominar 180 kg...which is higher in this segment.
U mentioned about the weight difference between the two machines😉power to weight ratio is important in performance bikes😁
Gixxer without fairing in the video would have been perfect.
yeah. Wasn’t available on our shoot dates! 🤷🏽♂️
Yamaha fz25? I think it deserves a mention here. It is supremely comfortable and if ridden sensibly makes a good budget touring tool. Any opinions?
kerb weight of dominar 250 is more than gixxer 250 even though it is bs6 complained
but there is no changes in the performance of the gixxer 250
Varun and Shumi together.
What else does pd army need?
Love you both ❤️❤️
Thanks Pratheek! Good to see you back!
@@shu_marTHANKS SHUMI!
GOOD TO SEE YOU BOTH BACK.
I WATCH EACHA AND EVERY VIDEO UPLOADED BY THIS CHANNEL BECAUSE ,"WHY NOT?".
5:38 Gixxer SF 250 is a 4V SOHC unit, not a DOHC unlike Dominar 250..
not expected from Powerdrift
The Gixxer has weight advantage over the Dominar. The First advantage of the Gixxer that Shumi mentioned.
You mentioned about weight dominar is more weight and gixxer is less wait here domi is 180 kg that is hiest in this segment and gixxer is aroud 160
No change in weight and power in BS6 Gixxer
1st advantage over Dominar 250
Right!!
Weight is the first advantage of gixxer sf over dominar 250 that shumi has mentioned
Hows suzuki gixxer 250 bs6 2020 naked model ? Plz review its ride.
Why do you think 250CC segment is boring? Please suggest us some interesting segments available in India.
@powerdrift giveaway answer: less weight was the advantage of Gixxer sf mentioned by shumi
It's about the weight u said about the dominar250 and gixxer250
The Gixxer main advantage or the first advantage over Dominar was the difference in weight where Gixxer has less weight as stated by Shumi👍
Suzuki's BS4 to BS6 transition with no change in weight and performance is the first advantage.
Answer : Weight of Gixxer SF 250
Gixxer SF 250 is lighter than the Dominor 250. 😊😁
Will powerdrift make a video on Gixxer 250 nacked version please
Good to see a different shoot location - near MCA stadium; otherwise most of the videos are shot at Mahalunge Bridge which became boring
Weight is the first advantage you said,that Gixxer is 161 kg and the dominar is 180 kg
Hello guys! Plz give your review on new BS6 Triumph Boneville Speedmaster! Also new BS6 Boneville T120 if possible. 😊🙏🏻
The weight of Gixxer 250sf, that’s the advantage.
@shumar The little Gixxie has weight advantage over D250... 😊
Why not compare with gixxer 250 instead of gixxer sf 250
Weight is same on gixxer after bs6 complience and doesnot changed and lighter than dominar...
Gixxer is better built smoother and has top speed of 145+. Better for Highway.
Dominar is better for city. Top speed of 135+.
Gixxer is close to king of 250/beginners motorcycle CBR250R. If more city rides get gixxer naked
Answer is weight ofc.
Also looks dope!
Give away answer : that 'gixxer' has no change in weight even after being Bs6 compliment and its performance also remains the same, yo shumi sir 🤘
Q
@@vinayakmahajan7731 Q?
❤ *Hope the King of 250cc will arrive again.* *_CBR 250r_*
We are the reason for discontinuation of CBR... There are only about 40 units has sold before it has discontinued.. at the same time dukes are sold more than its 50 times of cbr.. Honda discontinued it and we are blaming honda for that.. i don't know why..😬
@@aswinraveendran Off course we will blame honda. People didnt buy it because it was lacking so much featutures and updated when compared to its competitors. It was outdated. (Not looks. Looks are awesome and manly)
@@SK-qc7pn the international version also is the same .. Ys Honda is not bothering about tourer..
@@SK-qc7pn looks the tail section is completely outdated..
@@SK-qc7pn It had an excellent engine and gearbox. Styling is subjective. But it was light and fuel efficient. It could tour long distance easily.
People nowadays want fancy displays,slipper clutch and something that looks mean.
I still believe the Gixxer 250 is a spiritual successor to the cbr 250r. Very very similar engines and overall specifications are also similar. Only extra things are the screen and led lights and all that.
Honda be like -

Honda Cbr250r is such a gem of a vehicle. Hope Honda will soon launch the upgraded version of it. Also Powerdrift in last 8 years never reviewed the cbr250r , I wish Shumi to do one , make some series of reviewing discontinued vehicles.🙏🙏🙏

In my personal experience and from the information from friends, the Dominar may be refined at first one-two years. But later the sound itself changes. The refinement levels will gradually decrease by time.
Where as the Suzuki or Honda or Yamaha has best reliable engines. The Japanese engines are trustworthy.
The Suzuki has a better balance of practicality and sportiness. Most of the people ignore suzuki machines. But once you tried it, it will make you happy. It is so nimble, well balanced, friendly and reliable.
I won’t disagree. Sounds like thats right.
Also my friend experienced same on dominar
But another friend has dominar for 4years
But his bike has no issues
He said that it because of the bajaj engine oil and also not maintaining the engine well
His bike is still smooth as new
His bike is 60k ridden on it
He uses liquimoly engine oil and also
Motul

First point, suzuki's weight advantage over dominar
Ya but don,t forget liquid cooled engine from ktm
Le pnmbbvvvy5321🥔🥔🥔🥔🥔
More than that Gixxer gear ratios are perfectly tuned.... Domi seems laggi in higher gears... It have weight issue also..
Why do you need higher revs except for highways? Gixxer SF is pathetic in highways. The aggressive stance won't allow you to ride it for long distances
@@123456sha5 a responsive rev range help make overtaking easier and safer.. don't need to downshift for that.

According to Shumi, Gixxer's weight is the first advantage it has over the Dominar.
Suzuki gixxer is now in BS6 without any change in weight and almost no change in performance specification at all. 😊
There are 3 to 4 advantages, starting with weight 😉😎😀
Weight....is the 1st Advantage. Another advantage which PD missed is the service experience which is lot better in Suzuki.
P.S.- I own a Gixxer 155 & an AS200.
PD ARMY ❤️
Moving to bs6 still there's no performance lack in Gixxer sf 250❤️
Agreed! That was lovely!
When Gixxer 250 was launched last year they stated that the bike is BS6 ready....... maybe that has to do with providing same power even after making it BS6 compatible
@@shu_mar was the riding position convenient for long ride
.3 nm torque has been decreased,it does feels small amount of power lag than bs4.But it's very less so people may don't realize it while riding
@@rishichandran3627 it is slightly racy but not as much as an rr310 and is way lot comfortable compared to supersport motorcycles of the same price
The only reason i like the dominar more is the availability of spare parts and the more comfortable riding position
Not to mention the pillion comfort is better too
No the gixxer sf 250 has very good comfort. You can really tuck in when needed and also you can sit almost straight without any discomfort.
I think you're sayin this because of the clipons.
@@sidharthsankar1972 Both are comfy but Domi is better because of upright position with very minute aggresive position..very minute so it much more comfy
Don't forget that gixxer sf 250 is an entry level sportsbike... Due to the aerodynamics they have to built it that way. The pillion seat will be placed higher than the rider seat.
@@stupyshark9632 I think the gixxer is an entry level sports tourer, it's like the best of both worlds. But if you really wanna tour with a pillion you're better off with a himalayan or the cruisers. The design of the pillion seat is a whole another story if you ask me. In the himalayan also the pillion seat is higher than the rider seat. Even though the gixxer's pillion seat is higher it's adequately wide and supportive.
@@sidharthsankar1972 true but having the pillion seatlower would likely mean legs wouldn't fit well in front of the sidecases, or the feet would be too close to the exhaust, as well...but most touring motorcycles are meant to ride solo with the rear to mount luggage.
The advantage that shumi mentioned was that the SUZUKI GIXXER has somehow become bs6 compliant without any changes in weight and almost no change in it's performance specification at all.
I own a Suzuki sf 250 and its beyond league ❤️
Me too... Absolutely loving it ❤️
Do you guy's please mention your personal mileaga experience of sf250, I am looking to buying one such.
@@alankarpatil3113 30 to 35
@@alankarpatil3113 35 on the highways... A bit less in the city
Bro... How is it for highway rides... Can it cruise comfortably at 100kmph...and how is it's stability...
The weight of the Dominar is always an advantage on the highways, its more planted than other motorcycles, common guys plz try to come out of your scripted world.
Watch the recent video of @bulubiker doubles with a 80kg rider and 110kg pillion plus 20kg luggage, the bike was taking steep off road climbs effortlessly on 2nd gear. I bet the suzuki will cry over such a situation.
This is the only reason a lot of people have stopped relying on commercial channels n rely on real riders for their doubts.
😂😂😂Did you ever ride a Gixxer... Domi lags in top gears. I need to downshift to overtake in domi and then that 180 kgs thing pulls backward in drag.. normally a 250cc engine have a decent torque thats why it climbs with that weight. It looks huge like 400 except the tyres...
Gixxies have a beautifully tuned gearbox and punchy engine it looks not that great with that stock visor bt engine is fantastic.. I have a bad feel about the bike since i ride it .. after that buy one... Seriously that engine is fantastic.. it have all the gsxr character.. we can feel the power output in every rev range... That's why i am saying the gears are perfectly tuned..
Weight is not everything. There are so many more factors that determine high speed stability.
I can't believe people still think like this. Sigh.
A correction: your video editor has given the torque figures in PS! 😁
1st advantage that Shumi told was :
The Gixxer 250 is BS6 compliant now but hasn’t added on any weight.
This video has everything we were expecting for so long! The comparison and Varun Painter! No offence Shumi we still love you 😂
Ahahahahah! None taken!
Weight
1st advantage that Shumi mentioned Gixxer has over D250
🍻
shumi's 1st point : dominar is a haathi compared to gixxer.
Gsx-250 have hayabusa feeling,, ride it n feel it.. Awesome stability, Amazing acceleration n mileage out of box...
It looks better as well
Agreed!! Shumi has more wisdom!!
I do? Someone’s spreading rumours!
@@shu_mar you do Sensei
The years 🌋👌🏻
Cinematography was just awesome! Loved it ❤️
The Weight, first + you mentioned.
It is indeed a very important feature for skinny people.
relatable
Yes this was an interesting comparison video to watch, thanks guys. Nice to see varun bro after a long time ❤️😍👍
The first advantage that mr shumi said about the gixxer sf250 was about its weight. despite gixxer having a fairing its a fairly light weight bike that is easy to use in the city and light weight makes its it better handling bike among these 2.👍👍its also little more fuel efficient despite have tanks capacity of 1 litter less compared to the dominar 250. Doesn't mean the dominar isn't an exciting bike, its seating comfortable, it has a relaxed riding position that's helps for touring. Still its the gixxer is an all-round bike that's do everything good and little better.
🍻
The answer: Gixxer has lesser kerb weight as compared to Dom 250
Gixxer SF250 is a SOHC Layout not DOHC (that's can't expect from Powerdrift) 🙄
Wrong Information 5:38
I feel very sad that the the reviewers from powerdrift or zigwheels doesn't seem to enjoy the gixxer sf 250 all that much. I have the 250 sf motogp edition (all blue one) and I just love it. Albeit I have very limited experience the thought of riding it leaves me giddy and excited and I love it a lot. In the Zigwheels review for the sf250 they said "If you want a bike that will bring a smile to your face everytime you ride it, this is not it". Again a noob's opinion but everyone should give this bike a chance.
The first advantage becomes even more pronounced with Gixxer 250 (naked) which is only 156kg and much easier to glide through the traffic due to the absence of front fairing. I bought it over SF cos the handlebars are a bit upright which is ideal for my daily 60kms city commute
Shumi mentioned that the gixxer didn't have much changes from its transmission from bs4 to bs6 including the weight and rhe power output
The very first advantage of gixxer250 shumi mentioned over D250 was its weight.. Despite being the bs6 complient... It doest not affect the performance. Its lighter than D250...
👍🏻🏍️
It's a rocket for 250cc ... Punches hard from low to top
Nothing .....and nothing ..
Varun : my head should look like a Pineapple 🍍😂
I own a gixxer and it's a great bike to ride in cities and highways. I personally love to ride 🤟
Thou, I have a recommendation for gixxer to upgrade their indicator to LED, instrumental cluster with Bluetooth, USD forks, visor a bit high..
Gixxer is lighter than dominar, and has redial tyers with good grip and good suspension than dominar , so it goes more quicker than dominar.
PPT ppppppp
P
Gixxer gears are perfectly tuned.. feels power in every rev ranges
After A Long Time Both Of Them Are Together Always Love See Their Dous Best Out Here!💜
Thanks Xantosh!
@@shu_mar
Jnnjj
First advantage mentioned by Shumi is the less weight as compared to Dominar which makes it flicking through traffic a lot easier.
Dominar 250 is the best bike in 250cc segment
One thing which aren't not covered in any reviews is reliability. In my personal experience, Suzuki bikes are more reliable and better build than Bajaj bikes.
The main problem with Gixxer 250 is that it looks exactly like Gixxer 150, and thereby robbing that premium looks.
Agreed!
But the Gixxer sf250 looks like a gsx and that itself makes it special I guess
Give away.

D250❤️❤️
Weight is the 1st and main disadvantage of Dominar 250...
Good to see Varun Back...
Also tge gears feels lite bt laggy in higher gears... I think bajaj don't change the gearbox from 400 to 250..
Do you guys have any intentions to review the BS6 fz25 and Fzs25
Why Gixxer 250 is still not selling well??
Looks Dope,
Have Power,
Is comfortable enough.
Answer is Gixxer is lighter than d250. Gixxer became bs6 without increasing its weight...
"Btw where is my Adv390?"
Weight, well I'm awarded with getting to see Shumi quite often.👍

powerdrift and corporate is as wild as politician and honest. lol
You didn't talk about headlamp visibility on both bikes....other things like slipper clutch on D250...other stuff
Please please put a mega comparison on 250 cc segment. Their are other bikes also with nice power to weight ratios like Duke and Svartpilen also Yamaha.

Thank you Swapnarun!
The first advantage shumi mentioned of the Suzuki GIXXER over the dominar 250 is that the dominar weight 180kg which is really heavy for a bike of this class.
And the other thing is that the Suzuki GIXXER some how has become BS6-compliant without any change in weight and almost no change in its performance at all.
I'm so happy these two are back together again! 😭😂😂
Me too!
Answer is Weight. Shumi says Suzuki has less weight.
First advantage mentioned by Shumi : Gixxer is lighter than the Dominar.
Dominar weight .may be they took 400 and sliced out little cc of engine without make other changes they released 250
dominar always sucks!!! There's simply no comparison between the two!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣
thus Shumi became class teacher asking ques...😭
Give Away answer: "Substantial advantage is the weight, and you can feel it as soon as you climb onto it and it makes flicking through traffic a lot easier.
