The Bajaj Dominar 400 is the first bike in the new "Dominar Family" and we can expect some interesting bikes in the near future.
Today, Bajaj Auto launched its new flagship motorcycle the Dominar 400 in the country with a very aggressive pricing. Instead of continuing with its popular performance brand, the Pulsar, the company decided to start a whole new brand with this motorcycle, and the Dominar 400 said to be the first product of the series. The Dominar brand has been introduced to define big powerful bikes from Bajaj, and that means, the company could introduce some more iterations of this motorcycle.
Talking about the most probable possibilities, we can expect a sport tourer of an adventure motorcycle based on the Bajaj Dominar 400. As it perfectly matches the requirements of a sport tourer, it will just be a faired version of the bike with some minor changes. Most of you might remember the SS 400 grom the 2014 Auto Expo which spawned into a smaller RS 200. Well, dont get your hopes down, the SS 400 will happen. On the other hand, Bajaj will have to do a lot of homework to go for an adventure variant, but we guess it will be something along the lines of the AS 200.
We won't deny the possibilities of various displacement variants of the Dominar 400 as well. However, the company has to develop new engines to match with the requirements of the respective segment and that might take a lot of time, at least two years. While Bajaj might reach out to KTM for larger engines, there is no denying the fact that Bajaj has a very capable R&D team and setup so a large capacity, multi-cylinder mill developed completely in-house might just happen.
Bajaj already rules the Indian entry-level sportbike market with its Pulsar range of motorcycles, and now, it aims to dig into a bigger piece of the performance bike segment as well. We believe that the entire Dominar family will be focused on making large-capacity motorcycles accessible to the masses both in terms of rideability and affordability. So, it will definitely help the brand to grow as a performance bike manufacturer.
Moreover, Bajaj also aims to take the brand Dominar to most of its existing and new international markets as well. That will help the company to create a new brand image worldwide and achieve its target to make the Dominar a one billion dollar global brand.
