Re: Bajaj Dominar 400 Launched at 1.36 Lakh with 35Ps and 35Nm!

It sure looks exciting, though "Do-minar" still sounds weird. If I get it probably should debadge and stick Diavel decals on that tank.

Seriously though I hope the build quality and plastic quality would be good and they would do a good QC, right from the initial batch. Also lets hope the ASS guys are properly trained before launch and can take proper care of the new flagship. Service experience can make or break a new launch.

This could be the introductory price and I would expect a revision once the 2017 D390 is launched. By then they would have sorted the initial niggles.

Re: Bajaj Dominar 400 Launched at 1.36 Lakh with 35Ps and 35Nm!

Thanks, @sree@mumbai. Bajaj Auto should have mentioned 'tubeless' prominently as it is a very valuable and most sought-after feature for a power cruiser.

Re: Bajaj Dominar 400 Launched at 1.36 Lakh with 35Ps and 35Nm!

first ride review guys...initial impression its silky smooth engine...unlike any other Bajaj bikes

At the launch event, Bajaj said that the segment (INR 1-2 lakh) currently sells about 65,000 motorcycles a month in India. 80% of this segment currently buys Royal Enfield while the remaining is divided among a wide range of brands. Now, Bajaj is aiming to capture 20% of this segment, which roughly comes to about 13,000 units a month.

Re: Bajaj Dominar 400 Launched at 1.36 Lakh with 35Ps and 35Nm!

yes tubeless

Re: Bajaj Dominar 400 Launched at 1.36 Lakh with 35Ps and 35Nm!

Are the tyres tubeless? Because the specs simply say 'radial' and silent on whether tubeless or tubed.

Re: Bajaj Dominar 400 Launched at 1.36 Lakh with 35Ps and 35Nm!

What do you call two Bajaj Dominars kept alongside? Bajaj's "Charminar" :lmao:

Re: Bajaj Dominar 400 Launched at 1.36 Lakh with 35Ps and 35Nm!

What tyres are being used on the D400? Looks like it can be used for the CBR250r as well
Nice tread pattern.

Re: Bajaj Dominar 400 Launched at 1.36 Lakh with 35Ps and 35Nm!

Its a good start...Dominar is currently dominating the internet...its doing justice to the name atleast . M sure with the reviews and sales it would dominate that as well.

Re: Bajaj Dominar 400 Launched at 1.36 Lakh with 35Ps and 35Nm!

Just compare Dominar stats with classic 350

Lik power, torque, weight, tubeless tyres, Abs, headlamps, FI, Smoothness, maintainance.

What else you want for 1.5 lakh bike.


I ve a RS200 n I ve done 270kms in one run. If that can do 130 all day, i ve high hopes for this.

Re: Bajaj Dominar 400 Launched at 1.36 Lakh with 35Ps and 35Nm!

Yup it has fi 373cc engine

Re: Bajaj Dominar 400 Launched at 1.36 Lakh with 35Ps and 35Nm!

Does anyone know what is the red line on this thing.

If they had given a top speed of 170 the cycle parts(including engine parts) they are using simply won't be enough and increase the price and push it in ball court of KTM.

Its positioned pretty well and has a nice engine with good enough top speed, at least it won't be a pretend cruiser like RE which can't even cruise at 100
kmph with all its extra large engines made of steel of same quality as

I will definitely buy it, but the weight is a concern for day to day practicality.

Top speed is just a number, even on highway 120 is more than enough to cruise on a highway for a tourer to make an excellent timed runs. because the wind blast above that is not practical.

If you want top speed wait for few more months and get the 2017 duke 390 or rc 390. If you have money get a 500cc middle weight or a 1000cc will give all the top speed you desire.

Or forget a two wheeler and get a car and you will be able to zoom on highways at 150 all day, before you crash when a truck coming on the wrong side of the lane or a idiot with his cattle decides to take them on stroll on highways or when a tractor driver decides the shortest distance between A-B is go on wrong side of the lane and die become ghost and you get the power of teleportation to go anywhere you want in an instant.

Re: Bajaj Dominar 400 Launched at 1.36 Lakh with 35Ps and 35Nm!

Had been to the Bangalore launch event, the bike does look smashing and the pricing is the icing on the cake. Test drives are in tune with their punchline- Dominate the night - from 7pm to Midnight!! Will try my luck with a TD tomorrow, as today's slots were all taken by the time I reached the showroom..

Engine note is very different from the KTM's although its basically the same engine. Approximate on-road price for the ABS version would be about 1.75 Lacs

Some pics from the event which had the Bangalore Royal Enfield Riders Club members as chief guests.

Re: Bajaj Dominar 400 Launched at 1.36 Lakh with 35Ps and 35Nm!

They did say they are launching a 400cc cruiser!! Didn't they?

Re: Bajaj Dominar 400 Launched at 1.36 Lakh with 35Ps and 35Nm!

Yes. After all it does have the Duke 390 derived engine.

Moreover, why are so many people going referring to this one for touring. Did Bajaj themselves say that this is a "Power Cruiser". I dont remember them saying that this is a Touring machine. Isn't it so?

Re: Bajaj Dominar 400 Launched at 1.36 Lakh with 35Ps and 35Nm!

Please someone may advise me is it fuel injected .
