In terms of mechanical specifications, the 2019 Dominar 400 UG (upgrade) gets a more powerful motor than its predecessor.

The six-speed gearbox benefits from a slipper clutch.
The updated feature list comprises revised instrument console layout, upside-down front forks (instead of conventional telescopic forks), radially mounted front calliper and twin-barrel exhaust design. Bajaj Auto also says that the taillight and headlight internals have been optimised for better performance. Other key-improvements include updated mirror design with cast aluminium stalks, new tank pad decals, forged steel side stand and bungee straps under the passenger seat.
The 2019 Dominar 400 UG competes with the BMW G 310 R and the CFMoto 300NK that retail at INR 2.99 lakh* and INR 2.29 lakh* respectively.
