If you want a bike that looks muscular, pulls hard on highways, and is always ready for long rides, the Bajaj Dominar 400 is the one. It’s not just a daily bike. It’s built for cruising, touring, and serious power — and still comes at a price that doesn’t empty your bank account.
Whether you’re riding solo or fully loaded with saddlebags, the Dominar handles it all without drama. And yes, it still roars like a beast.
Pure power with KTM DNA inside
Dominar’s engine is based on the same motor as the KTM Duke 390, but Bajaj tuned it for better highway cruising and less aggressive city rides. You get a 373cc single-cylinder engine that puts out 40 PS of power and 35 Nm of torque — and believe me, it’s got that punch. The ride feels stable at high speeds and smooth while cruising around 100-120 kmph.

Built for long-distance riding
This is where Dominar shines. The riding posture is upright and comfortable, the seat is wide, and the bike doesn’t feel buzzy even after 100+ kmph. If you’re into Leh-Ladakh, Goa runs, or weekend getaways, this bike is made for it.
And Bajaj even offers an official touring kit now — with a tall visor, hand guards, rear carrier, engine bash plate, and more.
Looks and road presence? Big yes
The Dominar looks muscular and premium, with that chunky fuel tank, beefy forks, and dual-barrel exhaust. On the road, it definitely stands out — especially in that green and black combo.
Also, the LED headlamp throws serious light at night. It’s got both style and function sorted.
Bajaj Dominar 400 Braking & stability
Thanks to the dual-channel ABS and disc brakes on both ends, stopping power is solid. Even with a pillion or luggage, the bike stays stable while braking.
That 193 kg weight helps on highways — the bike doesn’t wobble or float at high speeds.
Good for the city, too?
Yup, but just know it’s a bit heavy. Once you get used to it, though, gear shifts are smooth, the engine pulls easily, and the slipper clutch makes traffic rides easier.
But yeah, if you’re looking for lightness, it’s not a commuter. This is for people who enjoy the big-bike feel, even in city rides.
Conclusion
The Bajaj Dominar 400 is one of the best value-for-money touring bikes in the country. You get power, stability, features, and proper touring DNA — all under ₹2.5 lakh. It’s smooth, fast, reliable, and looks like it costs more than it actually does. If you’re someone who loves the open road and wants a powerful machine that’s also practical, this is a no-brainer.
