Bajaj Dominar 400 Latest Updates
Rakesh Sharma, executive director, Bajaj Auto, revealed the brand’s future plans to update the Dominar range. Both, the Dominar 400 and Dominar 250, may get new features, colours and updated graphics.
The Dominar 400 is Bajaj’s flagship bike. It’s designed to be a sporty touring motorcycle that could capture the 300-400cc touring segment, which is primarily dominated by motorcycles from Royal Enfield. The Dominar’s engine is based on the previous-gen KTM 390 Duke’s engine, with a few tuning and mechanical changes that make it more suited for touring.
Bajaj Dominar 400 Key Highlights
Price: The Dominar 400 comes at a price tag of Rs 2,30,815 (ex-showroom Delhi). The bike is offered in two colour schemes: Aurora Green and Charcoal Black.
Design: The Dominar 400’s design is one that sets it apart from most street motorcycles, thanks to the bulky design elements used. From the large headlight, beefy fuel tank and muscular body gives it the mass-forward look that has traditionally been associated with Bajaj motorcycles like the NS series. The latest version of the bike has brought in some additional features that have enhanced its touring capabilities. From the new handguards, smoked windshield, engine guard and bash plate, rear luggage rack, pillion backrest along with a smartphone/GPS mount and a USB charging port. Customers also have the option to buy a saddle stay for attaching saddle bags at an added premium.
Features: The Dominar 400 has two digital information panels. One of those is the regular instrument cluster and the other one is mounted on top of the fuel tank. The instrument cluster displays speed, rpm, and fuel level along with real-time and average fuel consumption, there’s also a side stand indicator. The secondary information panel on the fuel tank has the bike’s odometer, tripmeters and a gear position indicator along with a clock. Other than this, the only notable feature the Dominar has is all-LED lighting.
Engine: The engine used in the Dominar 400 is a 373.3cc liquid-cooled DOHC single-cylinder motor originating from the previous-gen KTM 390 Duke’s power plant. Bajaj has done some mechanical and tuning changes to the engine which makes it more suited for touring, keeping in line with the bike’s overall design. The engine produces 40PS at 8800rpm and 35Nm at 6500rpm and is paired to a 6-speed gearbox with a slip-and-assist clutch.
Suspension, Brakes & Other Details: The Dominar 400 is based on a perimeter frame and gets a 43mm open cartridge inverted fork and a preload-adjustable gas-charged monoshock, giving the bike a ground clearance of 157mm. The brakes use 320mm front and 220mm rear discs with dual-channel ABS as standard. Wheels are 17-inch alloys both at the front and rear, with MRF radial tyres. The bike has a tank capacity of 13 litres and a kerb weight of 193kg.
Rivals: The Dominar 400 goes up against the likes of the Triumph Speed 400, Royal Enfield Meteor 350, Royal Enfield Classic 350, Honda CB350RS, TVS Apache RTR 310 and QJ Motor SRK400.

Bajaj Dominar 400 Expert Review
The Bajaj Dominar 400 is a sporty touring motorcycle and the manufacturer’s flagship offering. The bike was designed to take on motorcycles from brands such as Royal Enfield that dominate the 300-400cc segment. Let’s take a look at the Dominar today.
Bajaj Auto has inaugurated their first overseas manufacturing facility in Manaus, Brazil, which will manufacture the Dominar 400 and other bikes for the Latin American markets.
Design
The Dominar has a design language that is on the lines of a power cruiser, similar to what we have seen on the Ducati Diavel which is surprising given the Dominar is supposed to be more of a sporty touring motorcycle. The bike gets a bulky design, large headlight and an overall beefy body which makes it stand out from the other naked bikes in the market.
Bajaj brought some changes to the bike and added in additional features that makes it more of a tourer, things such as a tall smoked visor, handguards, engine bash plate, engine guard, pillion backrest, rear luggage rack along with a navigation mount and USB charging port. For a small premium, customers also have the option to buy a saddle stay that allows them to mount saddlebags.
Engine, Performance & Mileage:
The Dominar 400’s engine is a 373.3cc DOHC liquid-cooled single-cylinder motor originating from the older-gen KTM 390 Duke’s power plant. But Bajaj has brought some mechanical and tuning changes that have made the engine more suited to cruising at long speeds on the Highways. The engine is mated to a 6-speed gearbox and comes with slip-and-assist clutch. It produces 40PS at 8800rpm and 35Nm at 6500rpm. The only issue with the engine is that vibrations that start to creep in when riding at high speeds, other than that there aren’t many issues and the bike is able to offer good performance.
Handling and ride quality
The Dominar is heavy when it comes to handling and this comes down to its kerb weight of 193kg. The rider will have to put in a bit of effort to control the bike. In city traffic the bike feels lacking in terms of agility required to navigate through traffic jams and narrow roads. But on the highway, the bike provides a wonderful experience and the kerb weight keeps it planted when cruising on high speeds.
The lack of agility and heavy nature of the bike makes twisties a not so fun experience and tipping it from corner to corner take a lot of effort.. Braking duties are handled by 320mm and 270mm discs at the front and rear respectively. The brakes are quite responsive and they don’t need too much rider inputto get the bike to stop. The MRF radial tyres used provide adequate grip.
When it comes to ride quality, the Dominar 400 does feel a little stiff on bad roads, and the heavy weight of the bike doesn’t help either. But on smooth highways, this weight of the bike keeps it very stable.
The suspension setup is good but it's clear that the bike doesn’t like being ridden on rough roads. There’s a bit of stiffness that can be experienced when going over rough patches but this isn’t a major issue as the rear suspension comes with preload adjustability. The Dominar is able to provide a comfortable riding experience and stays true to its sports tourer character overall. It is a bike that can crunch long miles on the highway with ease.
Comfort
When it comes to comfort, the Dominar is able to offer a really good experience both when going for short rides and long tours. The seat used is well cushioned and also doesn’t feel too soft. Riders can easily ride for long distances without having to worry about discomfort. The overall riding posture is quiet neutral, with very slightly rear set footpegs and the one piece handlebar is tall and wide, giving the rider a commanding position on the bike. The overall upright riding position and the comfortable seat ensure that the rider will have no aches and pains when touring over longer distances.
Features
The Dominar 400 comes with 2 information displays, the bike’s main instrument cluster and a secondary panel mounted on the fuel tank. The instrument cluster displays information such as speed, rpm, fuel level along with real time and average fuel consumption and the secondary instrument console houses the odometer, tripmeters, clock and gear position indicator. The big issue for the secondary display is that riders need to tilt their head down quite a bit to see the screen, taking their eyes off the road, which could be potentially dangerous.
The motorcycle overall feels a bit lacking in terms of features, its competitors have left it far behind with colour TFT screens with Bluetooth connectivity and turn by turn navigation, electronic safety aids such as traction control, and even adjustable suspension. But Bajaj does offer a smartphone/GPS mount which does bring navigation capabilities to the bike.
Should you buy the Dominar 400?
The Dominar 400 is a bike that will only appeal to a certain set of riders, ones who are more interested in touring and don’t really care too much about commuting much in the city. For them it is a perfect motorcycle but for the others the Dominar doesn't make much sense now.
The market now is much different than what it was when the Dominar once came out, there's a lot more options to choose from like the Triumph Speed 400 that is offered in the same price range. There’s also other options like the Royal Enfield Meteor 350, Royal Enfield Classic 350, Honda CB350RS, TVS Apache RTR 310 and the QJ Motor SRK400.
