As the speeds cross 100 and the bikes are now slotted into fourth gear, that’s when Dominar starts its stint and takes no time in achieving its top speed. Duke 390 is the lightest of all and has a very strong mid and top-end range. That’s why it is the quickest to accelerate. Dominar has better low-end torque but slightly weaker top-end performance.
