Recently Asked User Questions

Q. Which one is the best Bajaj Dominar 400, Himalayan, Classic 350 and MT-15 Version 2.0?
  • All the bikes are best in their own forte. The Bajaj Dominar 400 BS6 makes for a great urban motorcycle, as well as packing in the performance and comfort to make occasional touring a breeze. On the other hand, Royal Enfield Himalayan Motor has (nearly) retained its output and feels just as quick, despite meeting BS6. Certain components look and feel more rugged and premium. Truckloads of suspension travel and ground clearance, as always. and Royal Enfield Classic 350 revised ergonomics make it more comfortable. The new chassis makes it easier to ride in traffic. The bike feels a lot more refined now. Moreover, The updates to the Yamaha MT-15 V2 have definitely improved its handling but the lack of dual-channel ABS and bottom-end performance, coupled with the high asking price make it a pricey proposition. For a better understanding, we would suggest you to take a test ride before making the final decision. Follow the link and select your desired city for dealership details.

Q. Is this bike worth buying?
  • Bajaj Dominar 400 is great pick. Good looks, healthy performance, competent underpinnings and a host of features. All for just Rs 1.92 lakh. If you’re looking for the best bang for your buck, nothing eclipses the Dominar 400 in the sub-2 lakh rupee price bracket. The 373.3cc DOHC liquid-cooled single-cylinder motor has its origins in the KTM 390 Duke’s powerplant. Output figures stand unchanged at 40PS and 35Nm even after being upgraded to BS6-compliance, and the engine is mated to a 6-speed gearbox via a slipper clutch. This being the flagship Bajaj product, it’s held together by sturdy underpinnings consisting of a perimeter frame suspended on a 43mm USD fork and preload-adjustable monoshock. The rear swingarm is a stamped unit. Anchorage is provided by a sizable 320mm/230mm disc brake combo assisted by dual-channel ABS.
  • At its price point. yes. it's worth the cost.

    Power Meets Elegance 

    I have been riding the Bajaj Dominar 400 for over a year now and it has been quite the powerhouse with a wholesome touring experience. Fitted with a 373.3 cc engine that pushes out 40 PS of power, this bike is built to rule the road. The bike accelerates smoothly with its mated 6 speed gearbox and the slipper clutch is a gift in heavy traffic providing a non tiring ride.One aspect I admire is the twin channel ABS that ensures great stopping power adding a layer of safety to each ride. The digital instrument cluster is crisp and adds to a modern riding experience.

    The Bajaj Dominar 400 is a popular bike in my colony and i owned it . It claims me a mileage of 27 kmpl which is not that much which my brother expectrd from it . Talking about the safety dual-channel Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) is a standard feature. It lacks additional safety features like airbags or traction control that might be found in some bigger bikes . It gives you many options in colours which best suites your style (Vine Black, Aurora Green) .
