2019 Bajaj Dominar has been spotted testing a couple of times now. It will get a couple of mechanical upgrades with a minor increase in the prices. As of now, it retails at Rs 1.63 Lakhs for the ABS variant.
Bajaj Dominar is the most powerful and feature-laden motorcycle from Bajaj. It is called a ‘Power Cruiser’ as it portrays itself like a modern street cruiser with considerable power figures.
Launched back in 2016, it has been one of the slowest performers for the brand. Primarily because buyers do not look beyond the Pulsar range. Bajaj Auto has its best sellers in Pulsar series and Platina.
Meanwhile, Bajaj Auto has already started testing the updated version of Dominar. It has been spotted testing a couple of times under heavy camouflage. Bajaj might introduce the updated version sometime in 2019.

Other features onboard include Auto-headlamp On, LED headlamps and standard fitment of dual-channel ABS. Non-ABS variant was recently discontinued due to the upcoming emission norms.
