It is the cheapest option amongst its competitors. In this article, we provide you with the prices, mileage, images and specs of the bike.
Bajaj gave India one of the earliest sort-of sports bikes. In the early 2000s, Pulsar was launched which was a blockbuster in the country. Still, it is considered as a heavy player in the market. However, with the launch of Bajaj Dominar 400, Bajaj got a new blockbuster in the market. They call it a ‘power cruiser’. It is currently one of the most emerging bikes in India and also, the most powerful bike from Bajaj. Dominar is a 400 CC powered half cruiser-half sports bike. It can easily be the cheapest option in its segment, with prices starting at Rs 1.46 Lakhs (ex-showroom). With a brawny body, beastly engine and sporty looks, it is a hit amongst the youth. So, here we have explained all the details about the bike suggesting what could make this bike a game changer.
Bajaj Dominar 400 – Price

The bike is aggressively priced starting from Rs 1.46 Lakh for the standard variant to Rs 1.58 Lakh for the ABS variant (both prices ex-showroom). The given price creates a tough competition. Also, given the features and engines that it provides, the pricing is decent.

Bajaj Dominar 400 – Design
The power cruiser comes with large dimensions and a low-slung stance. Obviously, it is going to catch some attention. It comes with an aggressive and sculpted body, giving the muscularity to the bike. The ‘Dominar’ plate on the beefy fuel tank, just looks perfect on its chiselled body. The LED headlamps with a small windscreen add to the manliness of the bike. Other design elements include a skid plate, broad handlebars, sporty rear side-tails and a well-designed cowl. Also, the machined alloy wheels and the sporty mudguard add to the finishing touch. From the rear, it copies the tail light styling from Pulsar. A small exhaust muffler is fitted on the big Dominar, which looks a little usual. However, as the frame of the bike is heavy, it gets a little scary to overtake at high speeds.
Bajaj Dominar 400 – Engine And Transmission
Engine | 373 CC |
Power | 34.5 BHP |
Torque | 35 Nm |
Cooling System | Liquid Cooled |
Engine Type | Triple spark 4-valve DTS-i engine |

The bike runs on a 373 CC Liquid Cooled engine that produces 34.5 BHP worth of power and 35 Nm worth of torque. It comes with a fuel injection system. Although it copies some elements from KTM Duke, it uses Bajaj’s trademark Triple spark 4-valve DTS-i engine. Dominar also uses a single camshaft, instead of two, to operate the four valves. In terms of transmission, it uses a Slipper clutch that is mated to a 6-speed gearbox.

Top Speed | 147 KMPH |
0-100 KMPH | 8.4 Seconds |
Dominar delivers a claimed mileage of 27 KMPL, which is good for a 400 CC bike. It comes with a fuel tank capacity of 13 Litres with 2 Litres reserve fuel capacity. It delivers a total riding range of 351 Kms. The bike records a high speed of 147 Kmph. Also, it clocks 0-100 KMPH in flat 8.4 seconds. The 0-100 KMPH record is not much higher than KTM Duke, making it a mix of a sports bike and a cruiser. Importantly, even bike if the bike is cruising at 120 KMPH, it would not vibrate and still would give a chance of overtaking.

Dominar 400 is currently available in three colours – Rock Matte Black, Glacier Blue and Canyon Red. However, I think the Matte Black goes perfectly with it because of the black alloy wheels.
Bajaj Dominar 400 – Competition
Currently, Dominar 400 has a very stiff competition given to its aggressive pricing. Also, it swings both sides as a sports bike and as a cruiser. So, it faces comparison from both the sides. It competes with the likes of Mahindra Mojo, KTM Duke 390, Honda CBR 250R, Royal Enfield Thunderbird and Yamaha FZ 25. However, the biggest advantage of this bike is due to its huge list of features and impressive performance specs.
