Bajaj will soon launch the new Bajaj Dominar 400 in the Indian market. The production of the new Dominar has already started and new pictures show the upcoming bike with a mean green paint job, just like we see on the Kawasaki bikes. The bike has been spotted on the production line, which makes it certain that the colour will be offered in the market with the 2019 model of the Dominar.
The upcoming Bajaj Dominar 400 has been revealed through a new TVC released officially by Bajaj. The new 2019 Bajaj Dominar 400 has also started arriving at the dealerships and the launch is expected to happen very soon. The new Bajaj Dominar gets a host of changes in terms of features but the overall bike remains similar to the current model.
The new Dominar gets upside down front forks, a twin barrel exhaust, new instrument cluster, a larger radiator grille and new rearview mirrors. The exhaust design has been updated and it looks much chunkier and muscular than the current model. The new instrument cluster looks similar to the current model but displays much information than the current version of the Dominar 400. Also, the secondary instrument panel mounted on the tank of the Dominar has been updated and shows new information like gear positioning.
The new Bajaj Dominar is expected to be available in only one variant. As the new upcoming rules will make all the bikes above 125cc to have mandatory ABS from 1st April 2019, Bajaj may not launch the non-ABS version of the bike. Also, the price of the bike will rise slightly due to the addition of new features and equipment. The dual-channel ABS version will become standard in the 2019 Dominar and it is expected to get a price tag of around Rs. 1.65 lakhs.
All the other features like the full-LED headlamps, full-LED tail lamps, adjustable rear mono shock and alloy wheels will be carried forward from the current model. The bike will also get the same engine as the current model. The Bajaj Dominar is powered by the 373cc, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine derived from the KTM 390 Duke’s engine. It is expected to produce the same 35 Bhp and 35 Nm in the new Dominar too. The fuel-injected engine gets a 6-speed transmission that makes it perfect for long-distance highway riding. The transmission gets a slipper clutch, which makes the gearshift quick, smooth and effortless.
For long, Bajaj has targetted the Royal Enfield bikes with the Dominar and has even released TVCs targetting the Royal Enfields. Bajaj claims that the Dominar is for long distance touring and is much better than the Royal Enfield bikes. With the new updates, Bajaj is expected to gather a lot of attention in the market. However, we are not yet sure if it will surpass the sales of the Royal Enfield bikes in the Indian market. Royal Enfield has a different set of customers who like retro styling which is something that the Dominar does not offers.
