A Smarter, Safer Dominar is Coming
Big changes are brewing for the 2025 Bajaj Dominar 400. Officially teased by Bajaj with the tagline “Dominar Evolved,” the new one promises modern tech, better touring capabilities and rider safety – all while staying aggressive.
Familiar Looks, Smarter Core
From the teaser, the silhouette is similar to the current Dominar 400 but inside, things are changing for the better.
- A fully digital LCD instrument cluster instead of the split-display.
- Bluetooth, turn-by-turn navigation, call/SMS alerts, ride data.
- The tank-mounted screen is gone – now a USB charging port.
Tech That Matters
This isn’t just cosmetic. The 2025 model gets tech that changes how it rides:
- Ride-by-wire throttle for smoother, more precise control.
- Four modes: Rain, Road, Sport, Off-Road (with switchable traction control).
- Traction Control System (TCS) for safer rides.
- New switchgear with a joystick for display navigation.
- Adjustable brake and clutch levers for better ergonomics.
Touring Ready Out of the Box
The Dominar has always been touring oriented and now it’s even more. Bajaj will likely offer these as standard:
- Windscreen, knuckle guards, bash plate
- Pillion backrest, saddle stays, in-built bungee straps
All of which make it highway ready from day one.
Engine and Mechanicals
While the core mechanical setup stays familiar, it continues to hold strong in its class.
- 373cc single-cylinder engine, liquid-cooled, triple-spark
- 40 PS, 35 Nm
- 6-speed gearbox with assist and slipper clutch
- USD front forks and Nitrox monoshock at the rear
- Dual-channel ABS with 320mm front and 230mm rear discs
- 13L fuel tank, 193 kg kerb weight
Launch & Price
Units have started reaching dealerships so the official launch should be just days away. With new tech and touring features added, the updated Dominar 400 is likely to see a slight bump in cost – placing it somewhere around ₹2.38 lakh to ₹2.45 lakh (ex-showroom), depending on the city.
