DESCRIPTION The Dominar labels itself as a hyper-tourer, so even though it is a naked, it isn’t as small and sharp as your average streetfighter. It sports a slightly raked-out look and the defining feature is its fascia characterised by the sharp LED headlight. The design features some heft and bulk in the fuel tank region and the double-barrel exhaust exits look quite cool as well. The 373.3cc DOHC liquid-cooled single-cylinder motor has its origins in the KTM 390 Duke’s powerplant. Output figures stand unchanged at 40PS and 35Nm even after being upgraded to BS6-compliance, and the engine is mated to a 6-speed gearbox via a slipper clutch. This being the flagship Bajaj product, it’s held together by sturdy underpinnings consisting of a perimeter frame suspended on a 43mm USD fork and preload-adjustable monoshock. The rear swingarm is a stamped unit. Anchorage is provided by a sizable 320mm/230mm disc brake combo assisted by dual-channel ABS.
Bajaj has updated the Dominar 400 to meet BS6
emission standards. The BS6 version costs Rs 1,91,751 (ex-showroom
Delhi), an increment of just Rs 1,749 over its BS4 predecessor. Since
the Dominar was already BS6-ready, the update hasn’t had any effect on
performance and the bike retains its 40PS and 35Nm output figures.
Unofficial
bookings have commenced for a token amount ranging between Rs 1,000 and
Rs 5,000 depending on the dealership. Given the ongoing COVID-19
situation, deliveries of the new Dominar 400 BS6 will be delayed and are
expected to start from May onwards.
SHOULD YOU BUY IT ?
Good looks, healthy performance, competent underpinnings and a host of
features. All for just Rs 1.92 lakh. If you’re looking for the best bang
for your buck, nothing eclipses the Dominar 400 in the sub-2 lakh rupee
price.
