Dominar 400 Specifications

The 2026 Bajaj Dominar 400 runs on a 349.13cc single-cylinder, liquid-cooled DOHC engine producing 40.04 bhp at 9,000 rpm and 33.2 Nm of torque at 7,500 rpm. This is the same engine architecture that powered the original 373cc Dominar, now downsized by reducing the stroke from 60mm to 56.1mm while keeping the same 89mm bore - a surgical change that moves the bike below the 350cc GST threshold. The net effect: Rs 37,000 off the price, and actually marginally more power at higher rpm.

The engine is liquid-cooled with a DOHC head - unusual for this price point where air-cooled single-cam engines dominate. The result is better thermal management, higher rev ceiling, and more refined high-speed performance than the Dominar's price suggests. ARAI-certified mileage is 30 kmpl. In practice, highway riding at 80-100 kmph delivers 28-32 kmpl; city use drops to 18-22 kmpl. The 13-litre tank gives a real-world touring range of 370-420 km.

Braking is handled by a 320mm front disc and 230mm rear disc, both with dual-channel ABS. The front suspension uses inverted (USD) Kyb forks - 43mm units that are significantly better than the conventional telescopic units on most bikes in this price range. The rear gets an adjustable nitrox monoshock with 7-step preload adjustment - usable for solo touring and loaded touring configurations.

The electronics package is genuinely premium for under Rs 2.5 lakh: 4 riding modes (Rain, Urban, Sport, Off-road), switchable traction control, and dual-channel ABS.
