2025 Bajaj Dominar 400 India’s Affordable Power Tourer Gets Sharper and Smarter

2025 Bajaj Dominar 400 : India’s Power Cruiser Gets Sharper, Smarter, and More Capable.

The Bajaj Dominar 400 has always been more than just a motorcycle—it’s been a statement. Launched to disrupt the premium bike segment, the Dominar 400 offered a powerful engine, muscular styling, and highway touring capabilities, all at a price that undercut rivals significantly. For 2025, Bajaj takes that formula even further. The new Dominar 400 is smarter, smoother, and more refined, while staying true to its core philosophy—power-packed touring at a sensible price.

🏍️ Design: Familiar Dominance With Modern Touches

Visually, the 2025 Dominar 400 retains the muscular and aggressive street-naked design it’s known for, but there are some noteworthy refinements:

• Revised body graphics and dual-tone paint schemes now offer a more premium aesthetic.

• New color options include Matte Midnight Black, Olive Green, Charcoal Grey, and a fresh Deep Blue variant.

• Diamond-cut alloy wheels, revised tank pad textures, and subtle LED enhancements give it a cleaner yet edgier visual identity.

The signature LED mosaic headlamp remains unchanged, as does the upright posture that has become synonymous with its road-commanding presence. It still looks like a big bike—and still turns heads wherever it goes.

🔧 Engine & Performance: Proven Power, Better Maturity

At the heart of the 2025 Dominar 400 is the same tried-and-tested 373.3cc, liquid-cooled, single-cylinder DOHC engine—based on KTM’s engine architecture. It produces 40 PS @ 8,800 rpm and 35 Nm @ 6,500 rpm, paired with a 6-speed gearbox and a slipper clutch.

For 2025, Bajaj has re-tuned the engine mapping and fuel injection system for:

• Smoother throttle response

• Reduced vibrations at higher RPMs

• Improved low-end torque delivery for city rides

The result? A machine that is as comfortable on the highway as it is maneuvering through urban traffic.

Expect a top speed of around 155 km/h, 0–100 km/h in under 7.5 seconds, and real-world mileage of 26–28 km/l, depending on riding style.

🧭 Touring-Ready by Design

What truly sets the Dominar 400 apart is its touring-oriented setup. For 2025, Bajaj continues to offer factory-fitted touring accessories, including:

• Tall touring visor

• Aluminium hand guards

• Rear luggage carrier with bungee straps

• Smartphone navigation mount

• Tank pad and leg guard kit

With a 13-liter fuel tank and an upright ergonomic triangle, the Dominar is built to munch miles. Whether it’s Ladakh, Leh, or the Konkan coast—the Dominar 400 has the legs for long-distance comfort.

🛞 Ride & Handling: Balanced Aggression

The 2025 Dominar 400 continues to use:

• 43mm USD forks (by Endurance) for a stable front end

• Multi-step adjustable mono-shock at the rear for improved ride quality

• Dual-channel ABS with a 320mm front disc and 230mm rear disc

• Radial tires on 17-inch alloys for excellent cornering grip

The chassis and weight distribution remain unchanged, with the bike weighing 193 kg (kerb). While not lightweight, this bulk adds to its high-speed stability—a trait beloved by Dominar owners who cruise highways regularly.

🧠 Features & Tech: No Gimmicks, Just Essentials

The Dominar 400 sticks to a simple and reliable feature list:

• Full LED lighting system

• Dual digital displays (main cluster + tank-mounted info display)

• Slipper clutch

• Factory-installed touring kit (optional)

• USB-C charger port (new for 2025)

It may lack a full-color TFT or Bluetooth connectivity found in some rivals, but the focus here is durability and minimal distractions—something long-distance riders appreciate.

💸 Pricing & Value

As of mid-2025, the Bajaj Dominar 400 is priced at Rs 2.39 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi), offering insane value for its power and touring credentials.

Compared to rivals like:

• Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 (Rs 2.85 lakh)

• KTM Duke 390 (Rs 3.10 lakh)

• Suzuki Gixxer 250 (Rs 1.98 lakh)

… the Dominar 400 strikes a perfect balance between price, performance, and comfort. It’s the most affordable way to own a 40-hp highway machine in India.

If you’re looking for a motorcycle that handles the daily commute, weekend escapes, and serious cross-country touring—all without breaking the bank—the Dominar 400 remains a no-brainer.
