Here’s everything you need to know about the specs and features Launched in a phenomenal price bracket of Rs 1.36 lakh to 1.50 lakh(ex-showroom, New Delhi), the Bajaj Dominar 400 is sure to become one of the most sought-after bikes in the near future. As we eagerly wait for the first booking number/sales report to land at our doorstep, here’s a list of top Ten facts about the most powerful bike that Bajaj has ever produced.
Most powerful Bajaj Ever: The motor, whose power figures are being guessed since Jurassic periods by us, journalists, is finally here. The 373.3cc, single cylinder, liquid-cooled motor is good for 35PS of power at 8000rpm, while its torque stands at 35Nm at an even lower 6500rpm. Clearly, the rev-limit is docile(as compared to Duke 390’s 7000rpm) and so will be very helpful in cruising and negotiating stop-go city traffic conditions. The motor is bestowed with Bajaj’s triple spark DTS-i technology with closed fuel injection and four valves.
Gearbox and Clutch: Power is transmitted to a beefy 150/60-17 radial rear tyre(the front features a 110/70-17) via a 6-speed gearbox which is equipped with a slipper clutch. Though we haven’t ridden the bike yet, we can safely assume that the first three gears will be shorter, while the latter three would be taller to offer a very usable gear-band for city roads and highways.
Downshifts are going to be butter smooth, thanks to the slipper clutch. And, as a matter of fact, the price at which the Dominar 400 is offered, makes it the most affordable bike to offer a slipper clutch in the country. It is also the first production bike to get a slipper clutch from an Indian manufacturer.
