Next-generation Bajaj Dominar 400 could get new platform and become more sophisticated

The Bajaj Dominar 400 is a sales success in the markets where it is sold. The 373cc motorcycle is a mid-sized touring bike, offering good performance on the road, with excellent value for money.

Now, rumors say that the next generation of this motorcycle could gain a new platform, completely different from the current one, and become much more sophisticated.

This would reposition the Dominar 400 in the company’s catalog, no longer being very affordable. It would then be a model for those who wanted to move up a step in the company, offering more but also charging more.

The Pulsar NS400Z, a recently launched 400cc naked motorcycle, would take over as the entry point into the 400cc category for the Indian manufacturer, offering great performance at an affordable price.

In India, Bajaj has two main lines: the Pulsar and the Dominar. The Pulsar has more street and urban models, with great performance and cheaper, generally with shorter wheelbases and lighter weights. The Dominar line is more focused on touring, with heavier bikes and longer wheelbases.

The next generation of the Dominar 400 could arrive with a new design, chassis and engine, as well as incorporating more technology, to make it even more ready for medium/long distance trips.

Of course, all this is just rumors, we’ll just have to wait and see how things unfold. But apparently, the 400-500cc segment could get a lot hotter in the coming years.
