What’s Brewing with the Avenger 400?

If you like cruisers that look the part and ride even better, Bajaj is cooking up something serious. The upcoming Avenger 400 is one of the most anticipated launches in the mid-capacity motorcycle scene, and it’s expected to launch between September and December 2025. Bajaj hasn’t made it official yet, but the buzz is loud and it’s for good reason.

Let’s break down what makes this next-gen Avenger a game-changer.

Launch Details

While the wraps haven’t come off completely, insiders suggest the Avenger 400 will be launched by end of 2025, with bookings possibly starting earlier. It’s expected to be priced between ₹1.50 lakh and ₹2.30 lakh, making it accessible to many cruiser fans who had to compromise earlier.

Target Audience

The Avenger 400 is for:

• Current Avenger owners looking for a powerful upgrade
• Tourers who want comfort and range
• Urban riders who want style with daily usability
• Budget-conscious enthusiasts who want performance without Royal Enfield prices

Its Impact

This launch will seriously disrupt the sub-500cc cruiser space. Think of it as Bajaj’s big punch in a ring long dominated by Royal Enfield. By offering modern tech, proven performance and classic cruiser looks, it’s giving riders a strong alternative to Meteor 350, Hunter 350 and even the Harley X440.

Performance

Under the tank (technically), the Avenger 400 is expected to run on the Dominar 400’s 373cc engine a liquid-cooled, single-cylinder unit making around 35-40 PS power and 35 Nm torque. Paired with a 6-speed gearbox, the engine is likely to be tuned for smooth, torquey delivery perfect for cruising rather than racing.

Expect a relaxed ride with enough grunt to hold highway speeds. Its liquid-cooled engine helps maintain steady performance, especially on longer rides where heat buildup can be an issue.

Price

Compared to rivals like Royal Enfield’s Meteor and Honda CB350, the Avenger 400’s price (₹1.50-2.30 lakh) is a big plus. For riders who want something powerful, stylish and decently loaded without burning a hole in the pocket, this could be the sweet spot.

Riding Experience

With its stretched-out footpegs, broad handlebars, and a low-slung seat, the Avenger 400 is built to keep you comfortable hour after hour. Add in dual-channel ABS, wide tyres and new suspension, and you have a bike that can cruise on highways and navigate city roads with ease.

The engine will be tuned softer than the Dominar’s, making it friendlier for long distance riders and daily commuters alike.
