Bajaj Dominar 400
The most powerful Dominar yet, but heavier and less covered by warranty
In short
The Dominar 400 is Bajaj's biggest single-cylinder tourer, using the same 349cc, 40.04bhp engine as the NS400Z but tuned for touring with a more upright stance. At ₹2.08 lakh it undercuts multi-cylinder rivals on power, but its 190kg weight and a shorter 3-year warranty are real trade-offs.

Price and variants
Ex-showroom Delhi. On-road estimate for Delhi; other cities on the price page.
The Dominar 400 comes in a single variant at ₹2,08,330 ex-showroom Delhi, so there is no trim ladder to climb: every Dominar 400 leaves the showroom with the same equipment.
That makes it priced 54th lowest among the 75 sports bikes we have reviewed. Its closest price rivals are the Gixxer SF 250 Flex Fuel (₹7,483 less) and the RC 160 (₹8,355 less).
On the road in Delhi, budget about ₹2.37 Lakh for the base variant once 8% Delhi road tax, registration and five-year third-party insurance are added. Dealers often quote higher by bundling accessories, extended warranty and handling charges; all three are negotiable.
| Variant | Ex-showroom | Rough EMI |
|---|---|---|
Standard | ₹2,08,330 |
Mileage
Dominar 400's claimed mileage is 30 kmpl, and unusually, owners and our own riding land right on it: expect 28–31 kmpl in everyday use. Few bikes get this close to their brochure figure.
Among the 67 sports bikes we have reviewed it ranks 57th for mileage, 12 kmpl below the group average of 42 kmpl.
Engine and ride
The 349cc liquid-cooled engine makes 40.04 bhp and 33.2 Nm through a 6 Speed. With a kerb weight of 190 kg that is 211 bhp per tonne, 18th best power-to-weight of the 73 bikes in this class we have reviewed.
Peak power is high relative to torque, so this engine rewards revs: it feels ordinary below the mid-range and comes alive above it.
Chassis hardware includes USD front forks, a rear monoshock, dual-channel ABS, a slipper clutch and traction control, with a disc, 320 mm, 2 piston caliper up front and disc, 230 mm, 1 piston caliper at the rear.
At 800 mm the seat is average for the class; most riders from 5'5" up will be comfortable at stops.
Our review
Riding impressions and the buying advice a spec sheet cannot give.
Verdict
The Dominar 400 puts the NS400Z's 349cc, 40.04bhp engine into a more upright, touring-focused chassis, making it the most powerful bike in Bajaj's touring range at ₹2.08 lakh. It has genuine highway credentials, but the 190kg kerb weight and a warranty that runs 3 years rather than the 5 years typical of Bajaj's other models are trade-offs worth weighing before buying.
Riding it every day
The extra power over the Dominar 250 is easy to feel on the highway, with stronger roll-on acceleration for overtakes and effortless triple-digit cruising. In town, the weight makes itself known at traffic lights and while filtering, though the riding position stays comfortable over long stints. Expect real-world mileage of roughly 28-31kmpl, on the lower side for this class, so fuel stops will be more frequent than on a Dominar 250 or a multi-cylinder 350.
What to know before buying
USD forks, dual-channel ABS, traction control and a full electronics suite, ride modes, navigation, USB charging, are all standard, which is generous at this price. The shorter 3-year warranty is the detail buyers should not skip past, since most rivals and Bajaj's own smaller bikes offer 5 years as standard; budgeting for an extension is sensible if you plan to keep the bike past that period.
Who should buy it
Riders who want the most power available in a Bajaj touring single and do most of their riding on the highway rather than in heavy city traffic. Anyone prioritising fuel economy or a longer warranty period should cross-shop the Dominar 250 or a multi-cylinder alternative first.

On safety kit the Dominar 400 has dual-channel abs, front disc brake, rear disc brake, tubeless tyres, traction control, side-stand engine cut-off and hazard lamps. Dual-channel ABS is the one item on this list worth paying for if it is variant-dependent.
Equipment is closely matched with Pulsar NS400Z, Dominar 250 or Hness CB350; the differences are in the riding, not the spec sheet.
It is offered in 2 colours: Black and Green. Colour availability varies by variant and dealer stock.
Warranty, service and ownership
Standard warranty is 3 years or 75,000 km. After the free services, the recommended interval is every 5,000 km.
Bajaj runs one of the largest sales and service network in India, at roughly 5,000 touchpoints. Spares and a mechanic who knows the model are rarely far away.
The Dominar 400 launched in 2026, so long-term reliability and resale data are still thin. That is not a mark against it, just a reason to prefer the standard warranty and keep service records.
