Just like the rest of the advertisements in the series, the ad takes a dig on Royal Enfield again. The video shows a rider being ‘massaged’ by an elephant for his back pain, while a group of Dominar riders whiz by without any discomfort. Compared to a Royal Enfield, the Dominar 400 offers better value for money as far as technology is concerned. The bike comes with an all-LED lighting system; modern power cruiser design; ABS as an option; and a KTM 390 Duke-derived liquid cooled engine.

The powerplant works in tandem with a 6-speed transmission with slipper clutch.
