Bajaj Dominar 400 is a decently popular tourer among buyers thanks to its comfortable ergonomics and a mighty highway-capable motor. Now to make it more advantageous for long hauls, the homegrown bikemaker has launched a new variant of the Dominar 400 with factory-fitted touring accessories at Rs 2,16,648 (ex-showroom). At this price point, it is nearly Rs 4,500 more expensive than the standard variant (Rs 2,12,155).
Bajaj has equipped the new variant of the Dominar with a tall windscreen for greater wind protection and a USB charging port along with a navigation stay that will be quite beneficial, especially if you use your smartphone/navigation device during riding for music and navigation. Moreover, it also gets a pillion backrest in addition to a luggage carrier and saddle stay (optional) for added convenience. Besides, there is also a new set of knuckle guards, an engine bash plate with an integrated metal skid plate, and a new leg guard to ensure greater protection.
Mechanically, the bike remains unchanged. That said, it continues to use the ongoing 373.2cc single-cylinder liquid-cooled engine (40PS/35Nm), mated to a 6-speed gearbox via a slipper clutch. The hardware, too, remains unaltered, consisting of 43mm upside-down front forks and preload-adjustable rear mono-shock. Anchorage is provided by 320mm & 230mm disc brakes assisted by dual-channel ABS. The other notable bits of the bike include LED headlight & turn indicators, double-barrel exhaust, and a fully digital instrument cluster with a twin-display setup.
The Bajaj Dominar 400 is available in two color choices – Aurora Green and Charcoal Black.
