Dominar 400 2025: Smarter Technology, Same Beast
Meet the updated 2025 Bajaj Dominar 400 if you enjoy powerful long highway rides. Keeping its muscular touring DNA, Bajaj has incorporated a crisp, full-color dot-matrix LCD cluster that was lifted from the Pulsar NS400Z. Smart moves for tech-savvy travelers, this offers Bluetooth connectivity, turn-by-turn navigation, and even call/SMS alerts. A practical USB charging port has taken the place of the outdated small tank display, making rides outside of cities more convenient. The Dominar’s engine, touring frame, and bold tourer essentials remain unchanged, fulfilling its promise of being “born to sprint, built to tour.”
Ride-by-wire & Mode Selection: Contemporary Management
In addition to being smarter, the 2025 Dominar is also more versatile. Bajaj has added four ride modes: Road, Rain, Sport, and Off-road. A new ride-by-wire throttle system also offers cleaner throttle response. These characteristics, in addition to switchable traction control and ABS modes, allow riders to adjust dynamics according to terrain or mood, which has never been done in this market before. The switchgear has also been enhanced, making use of the Pulsar’s D-pad layout to activate hazards and facilitate seamless menu navigation.It is a thoughtful makeover that prioritises functionality over just style.
Engine & Emission Updates: Familiar Power, Clean Performance
The same reliable 373.3cc liquid-cooled single-cylinder engine powers it, producing about 40 PS at 8,800 rpm and 35 Nm at 6,500 rpm. Expect smoother throttle behaviour and cleaner emissions as Bajaj has adjusted it to meet BS6 (OBD-2B / Euro 5+) standards.The switch to ride-by-wire will immediately improve throttle mapping and precision, even though there isn’t much of a power drop—numerical output stays constant. The reliable six-speed gearbox and slipper clutch make it easy to cruise at high speeds and pass.
Essentials of Touring: Improved Comfort & Usability
The Dominar carries on the tradition of being a cruise ship that is ideal for touring. Key components like the engine bash plate, rear luggage rack, pillion backrest, knuckle guards and windscreen are still present. However, these now have extra benefits: the USB port keeps your devices charged even during multi-day runs, and the digital display shows trip information and gear position. These improvements combine convenience and familiarity, whether you’re traversing mountain passes or negotiating city traffic. It is obvious that Bajaj wants to increase the Dominar’s allure for riders who require both strength and concentration during lengthy rides.
Cost & Conclusion: Value Enhanced, Not Redefined
The 2025 model, which is currently available at dealerships, costs approximately ₹2.38 lakh ex-showroom Pune and is a slight ₹6,000–₹7,000 premium over the previous model. With the added technology, safety improvements, and feature lift, that’s a good deal. This updated Dominar is a strong option for 2025 if you’re a rider who appreciates long-distance comfort just as much as engine thrills.
