Engine and performance

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.

Dimensions in practice

The Dominar 400 weighs 190 kg with fluids, has an 800 mm seat, 157 mm of ground clearance, and rides on a 1452 mm wheelbase. Clearance is on the low side; take tall speed breakers at an angle with a pillion.

The fuel tank holds 13 litres, good for about 384 km between fills in real-world riding.

Tyres are 110/70-R17 front and 150/60-R17 rear, tubeless.

Features, and why each matters

Grouped by what they do for you. Underlined items link to a plain-English explainer.

Safety and braking

  • Dual-channel ABS

    Stops both wheels from locking under panic braking. The single biggest safety upgrade on a two-wheeler.

  • Front disc brake

    Sheds heat and works when wet. Worth the small premium over a drum on any commuter.

  • Rear disc brake

    Adds feel and fade resistance at the back; matters more on heavier or faster bikes.

  • Tubeless tyres

    A puncture deflates slowly instead of instantly, and roadside repair takes ten minutes.

  • Traction control

    Cuts power if the rear spins on wet paint or gravel. Rare under ₹2 lakh.

  • Side-stand engine cut-off

    Engine will not run with the stand down, which prevents a common low-speed crash.

  • Hazard lamps

    All four indicators flash; useful in fog and when stopped on a highway shoulder.

Chassis

  • Alloy wheels

    Lighter than spoked wheels and they allow tubeless tyres.

  • USD front forks

    Stiffer than conventional forks, so the front feels planted under hard braking.

  • Rear monoshock

    One central shock instead of twin units; usually better damping on broken roads.

  • Slipper clutch

    Stops the rear wheel hopping on aggressive downshifts. Also makes the lever lighter.

Lighting

  • LED headlamp

    Brighter, whiter and lasts the life of the bike. Halogens on rivals look yellow by comparison.

  • LED daytime running lamp

    Makes you visible to cars in daylight, when most two-wheeler collisions happen.

  • LED tail lamp

    Lights up instantly, which gives the vehicle behind a fraction more warning.

Console and connectivity

  • Digital console

    Trip meters, real-time mileage and a gear indicator. The analogue dial is disappearing.

  • Bluetooth connectivity

    Call and message alerts on the console so the phone stays in your pocket.

  • Turn-by-turn navigation

    Directions on the console via the phone app. Saves mounting a phone on the bars.

  • Ride modes

    An Eco map for mileage and a Power map for overtakes, switched from the bars.

Convenience

  • USB charging port

    Charges the phone on a long commute. Check whether it is Type-A or Type-C.

  • Engine kill switch

    Switch the engine off from the right bar without reaching for the key.
