New Bajaj Dominar 400 is nearly Rs. 37,000 more affordable than before thanks to the shift to a sub-350 cc engine that attracts only 18 per cent GST
The updated Bajaj Dominar 400 has been launched in India with a downsized engine while retaining the familiar ‘400’ badge. Priced at Rs. 2,03,214 (ex-showroom, Delhi), the new motorcycle is nearly Rs. 37,000 more affordable than before thanks to the shift to a sub-350 cc engine that attracts an 18 per cent GST rate as opposed to 40 per cent.
At the heart of the change is a 349.13 cc engine replacing the earlier 373 cc unit. Interestingly, despite the reduction in displacement, Bajaj has chosen to continue with the ‘400’ branding – mirroring the strategy seen in the new 350 cc Triumph motorcycles as well where the larger badge helps maintain performance perception among consumers.
Performance figures have seen minor tweaks. The new engine produces 40.4 bhp of maximum power and 33.2 Nm of peak torque. While there is a marginal bump of around 1 bhp, torque has dropped by around 2.8 Nm. It has been achieved by shortening the stroke from 60 mm to 56.1 mm while retaining the same 89 mm bore.

The result is an engine that should continue to deliver commendable highway performance while slightly altering its character. Dimensionally, the Dominar remains unchanged, retaining its muscular road presence and touring-friendly proportions. It continues to measure around 2,156 mm in length, 836 mm in width and 1,112 mm in height with a wheelbase of 1,453 mm and a ground clearance of 157 mm.
The kerb weight stands at around 193 kg while the 13-litre fuel tank supports long distance rides. The Dominar 400 continues to be loaded with features such as full-LED lighting including a distinctive headlamp, twin digital instrument clusters, a slipper clutch, USD front forks and a rear monoshock. Braking duties are handled by disc brakes at both ends with a dual-channel ABS system.

With the new Dominar 400 with 350cc engine we are staying true to that promise while making it significantly more accessible.”
