Bajaj Dominar 400 Moon white headlamp — Bajaj Dominar 400 is priced at INR 1.36 lakhs for the non-ABS trim and INR 1.50 lakhs for the ABS version.

The Dominar, though in a higher displacement class, will likely compete in price with quarter-liter motorcycles like the Yamaha R25 and the Kawasaki Ninja 250, which are popular beginner bikes in South East Asia.

Tracing its origins to the KTM Duke 390, the Bajaj Dominar 400 has an entirely new take on the single cylinder mill sharing just the engine block. Unlike the short gearing in the Duke 390, the Dominar 400 has its gearing slightly on the taller side. The bike, despite its 182 kg kerb weight, is extremely manoeuvrable and feels at home on the highways. The seating is comfortable, and the footpegs are only slightly rear set.
