The new Dominar 400 has already been officially teased and some dealers have also accepting unofficial pre-bookings. The bike is expected to go on sale from March this year.

The new Bajaj Dominar gets a 373.27 cc single cylinder liquid-cooled engine which is tuned to make a maximum power of 39.9 PS at 8,650 rpm along with a peak torque of 35 Nm at 7,000 rpm.

The rider will now have a clear idea of his driving style which will enable him to manage the fuel efficiently.

The length, height, wheelbase, and ground clearance are the same as before, while the width of the bike has been expanded from 813 mm to 836 mm. It is expected that the handlebar will also be wider, thus, making the leverage easier. However, whether the ergonomics are changed or not, will only be known after the motorcycle’s launch.
