Bajaj Dominar 400

Price: The 350cc Dominar 400 is priced at Rs 2,03,214 (ex-showroom, Delhi), making it Rs 37,014 more affordable than before. This price drop comes thanks to revised GST norms, similar to strategies adopted by Triumph Motorcycles.

Design: In terms of design, the Dominar 400 has a muscular stance, sculpted fuel tank, split seat setup, and twin-barrel exhaust, all of which give it a strong road presence. The bike is offered in Aurora Green and Charcoal Black colour options.

Features: The 350cc Dominar 400 is equipped with full-LED lighting, an LCD instrument console, switchable traction control, and four ride modes (Road, Rain, Sport, and Off-road). It also gets a slip-and-assist clutch.

Engine: The Dominaris powered by a 349cc, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine, which puts out 40.6PS at 9,000rpm and 33.2Nm at 7,500rpm, working alongside a six-speed gearbox. While power has gone up slightly as compared to the previous 373cc iteration by 0.6PS, torque has dropped by 1.8Nm. The engine also now reaches its peak power 200rpm later, with maximum torque coming in 1,000rpm higher in the rev range.

Suspension, Brakes & Other Details: The Dominar continues with its premium hardware setup, including a USD fork and a monoshock. It rides on 17-inch wheels at both ends and has a ground clearance of 157mm, along with a kerb weight of 193kg. Braking duties are handled by disc brakes at both ends with dual-channel ABS. However, the 13-litre fuel tank might still feel limiting for long-distance touring.

Rivals: The Dominar 400 rival bikes like the Triumph Speed T4, Jawa 42 FJ, Harley-Davidson X440, Yezdi Roadster and 350cc Royal Enfield bikes.
