The Bajaj Dominar 400 is rendered as an adventure
tourer by design specialist Shoeb Kalania. The perimeter frame’s origin is traced back to the
Bajaj Pulsar 200NS. The frame though has been strengthened to accommodate the
more powerful and torquey engine. Apart from extra torsional rigidity and
lateral strength, the frame also helps in giving the bike a low centre of
gravity.
The powertrain in the Bajaj Dominar 400 has been
tuned to be a city slicker as well as a highway muncher which will make it a
great mill for an adventure tourer as well. The 373.3 cc mill produces 35 PS of maximum power at
8,000 rpm and 35 Nm at 6,500 rpm. However, that is not all; the engine produces
up to 28 Nm of torque at just 3,000 rpm.
An adventure tourer will help Bajaj Auto widen the
target audience of the Bajaj Dominar 400. Apart from a top box, the motorcycle
can also get saddlebags which will give the rider more luggage space. LED
headlamps with AHO is standard in the Bajaj Dominar 400 and will be a great
offering for night rides.
