The styling of the Bajaj Dominar is sharp with a mass forward design language. Its lines seem to have been inspired from the stunning Ducati Diavel and the sporty styling will appeal to youngsters especially. The Dominar 400 also has the distinction of being the first bike in its segment to offer full-LED headlights. The new bike will also be the first Bajaj offering to adopt an all-digital instrument console while the tell-tale lights have been mounted on the tank and the switchgear is backlit.

Coming to the heart of the matter, the Dominar 400 is powered by a 373cc, liquid-cooled, 4 valve motor as seen on the KTM 390 Duke. The single-cylinder mill has the patented Bajaj triple spark technology and DTS-i tech and it delivers 35PS at 8,000rpm and 35Nm at 6,500rpm of peak torque. The powerplant has been mated to a 6-speed transmission while the big news is the addition of slipper clutch. Talking about performance, Bajaj claims a top speed of 148kmph and 0-100kmph acceleration time of 8.23 seconds. The fuel tank capacity is 13 litres and Bajaj claims a real world mileage of around 30 to 35kmpl for the power cruiser and it weighs 182kg. The Bajaj Dominar 400 sports a perimeter frame which is derived from the unit seen on the RS and NS 200 models.
