    Just take test ride. Amazing build quality. Superb look. Like a beast. It would be great if get color options. Otherwise it's awesome. Dual abs is great breaking system in d4. You can tour the world with this beast. Compare to price aspect it is slightly high but its ok to have such beast in out life.

  • Cons are heavyweight and not as refined as Japanese motorcycle

    1 year ago


    Vikas

    Buying experience and services are not that good but I'm reviewing the bike itself has everything you need for touring ..On the highway it's awesome but at low speed, it feels heavy. You need to maintain at least 3-liter fuel for smooth operation. Or you feel vibes on the handlebar and wrist... Don't buy if you use only city commuting...If your short heighted don't buy at least if you're 5.9" service is a cheap and low-maintenance motorcycle. But service centers are the worst. I have a very bad experience.

  • Great bike with massive looks and good performance

    3 years ago


    Kunal Chanda

    Riding experience of this bike is amazing. Feels like driving a super bike. You can overtake any vehicle any time, acceleration is so good. Bike looks like very premium. I would suggest to do service this bike only in Bajaj authorized service center because its complicated. Try to lube chain in every 500 km.

  • Just go for test ride and you will love it!!

    2 years ago


    Mustafa Rangoonwala

    Good day, readers.
    I'd like you to get a cup of tea and read the entire review since it's going to be long, and you'll need it. You will not comprehend the points if you do not read the entire evaluation, and you will continue to buy foreign products as normal.
    It all started when i realized i needed to get a gear bike since i was tired of my honda aviator 110cc, which i had ridden for over 42000 kilometers in less than two years. I began looking for a bike that provides performance comfort. Yeah, you heard correctly; i didn't go for mileage since i knew I'd be buying a bike with at least 300+ cc that wouldn't offer me ml, so don't look for it because you might be buying 900cc or 1250cc and won't receive ml or else you'll buy that bike (off track but the mindset is important).
    I began researching other manufacturers and began visiting their showrooms to assess price points and other things. I compiled a list of four bikes, which i also discussed in my first youtube video.
    1) Himalayan 2021 royal enfield
    2) imperiale 400 Benelli
    3) the re meteor
    Did you notice anything unusual?... Yes, Bajaj was my last option. So i started looking at specs and anything else that was available online and offline. I started questioning friends about it, and i went insane. Yes, you'll have to be insane to get the correct one, and i was looking for performance and comfort with beast mode.
    After much deliberation and after visiting about 50+ showrooms of several bike manufacturers, i opted for the dominar 400.
    Now, most people would opt for re or Benelli or anything else, but i'll tell you what i was searching for in my bike.
    I was looking at engine power, torque, and comfort, and none of them could compete with the dominar 400 ug 2021 edition.
    Engine411 cc power 24.31 ps torque 32 nm mileage 32.04 km brakes tube for double disc tyres
    Specifications for the royal enfield meteor 350
    Max power is 20.4 ps at 6100 rpm, while max torque is 27 nm at 4000 rpm.
    Front disc brake
    Fuel capacity 15 l body type cruiser bikes rear brake disc
    Bajaj dominar 400 ug 2021
    Engine 373.3 cc power 40 ps torque 35 nm mileage 26.50 km brakes
    Tubeless double disc tyre
    Finally, i opted for the dominar 400 because it can perform some off-roading, but the re Himalayan was meant primarily for off-roading, but the specs were still poor. It's not a bad bike, but you're paying your hard-earned money for it, right? of course, re Himalayan owners would be wild about this bike, and i believe they are correct, but at some point, you need torque.
    I believe the dominar 400 is an underdog bike, but trust me, it's a beast...Yeah, it's heavy and has some flaws, such as the tank not being made of metal, but every bike has some or other issue. Rather than sacrificing performance and power, i would go for a heavier bike.
    The dominar 400 ug version is one of the best 400cc bikes in its class... Trust me, compare it to any other brand and see what you get here. Congratulations to the Bajaj group. I'm looking forward to the dominar 600 or 900cc...

  • DOMINAR 400 BS6 - Stunning

    4 years ago


    Pranoy Banerjee

    Superb acceleration: none can beat you while crossing bumpers with this kind of stability.
    Dual disc brakes with double channel abs man it will save your life from occasional potholes, squids, stray animals, cows etc.
    Economy is decent, 30-32 kmpl before first service.
    The real wheel was wobbling a bit when I bought it, fell down in rural muddy road due to this.
    it isn't completely vibe less but way less than RE and goes down after 1st service.
    why I choose it over RE Himalayan: i was hell bent for buying Himalayan but bought Dominar for these reasons:
    I won't be riding all day long in so called "no roads".
    spares and service is way affordable. the mirrors got scratched , 370 rs. the brake lever scraped, 200 rs. way affordable man to maintain this beast. and suspension is way better than other competitors.
    I guess tires could have been better though not much an experienced rider, this is my first bike but this is excellent machine and superb VFM.
    I will never regret it for buying it for buying over Himalyan.

  • Beast

    4 years ago


    Faizan

    A beast bike, Standard bike Best performance, Very stylish Mileage is good i.E. Around 25 kmpl for 400 cc. Very comfortable, Heavy but easy to handle Requires chain maintenance weekly. Best for long drives And after all i think it is one of the best 400 cc bike in this price New color combinations are also good.

  • Very good purchase

    4 years ago


    Manisundaram

    Buying experience at bajaj dealership is very average. But the bike is worth every penny spent on it. Bajaj is highly underrated brand in india mainly due to their showrooms most of which not customer friendly. They cannot be compared other international brand's showrooms in terms of look, display of bikes, friendly sales representatives, etc.

  • The hulky beast

    3 years ago


    Sreedev

    It's a value for money bike. It's a hybrid bike, as we can use it for a daily purpose bike and for long ride also. Comparing with other bike in it's segment we feel comfortable even to take family for a ride. My dominar is aurora green as eye catching color, makes people noticing as from far itself. Highway cruising and cornering with the bike is awesome. Braking also good, we feel the bike is stable enough. It's exhaust sound with base sound make noticeable on road.The headlamps of the bike is very very good than any other bike that we get good visible in night.Service cost also reason considering it category. I am using dominar since 1.5 yrs i haven't noticed any issues or complaints unless the crash guard bolt broke without any reason, but the service center replaced me free of cost even the other side also. Overall i feel it awesome to be a dominar owner.

  • Service you would never get with dominar

    3 years ago


    Saumil Christian

    Service offered is pathetic, no trained technicians are available to cater riders concerns. I have continues problem of clutch where it gets loosen even after I get it fixed and due to which the bike rolls jam even after applying full clutch
    So even after applying clutch, to move the bike is difficult. No availability of the parts.
    The chain snapped out while I was driving and fortunately nothing happened to me but the wheel got stuck due to the same. Chain and sprocket of lower quality.
    I would suggest to go for any other brand as they do listen to the customers concerns and sort it out for them.
    My concern are still the same with the bike.
    And I am trying to get it exchanged with another brand.

  • Her name "DOMINAR" is enough because she craves for Dominian, not for a proportion. Well said by Bajaj " Let's Dominate the Nine Realms".

    1 year ago


    Vipul

    The purchasing experience was good, the salesperson treated me well and brilliantly explained the bike. Value for money, because its cheap and best in 400cc segment provided with high power of 40 PS, torque of 27 Nm, high-end electrical functions, and all other basic specifications and features
    When it comes to the riding experience, I must say it's fabulous, take it to any road or no road she delivers her best. Provides comfort to the rider and also the riding position is best than the rest of other bikes, and also provides comfort to the pillion regardless of speed, bike position in running, high acceleration, etc. This bike is also known as a sports tourer as it delivers very high power and torque, which makes it far much better than any of the bikes upto 400cc except KTM 390cc bikes.
    (FYI, Dominar 400 is not a track-ready bike it comes under the category of naked sports, so there is no point of comparing it with fairing body type bikes such as RC390, RR310, CBR250, R1, BMW RR310 or above).
    When it comes to looks, she is just like fire, burning up the ways. People get attracted to her muscular body at just a single glance. Of course, she is a head-turner.
    Performance, as I have already mentioned above she is the best in 400cc segment (top in Indian manufactured brands). It has been a year now I am riding this bike and have ridden this bike at top speed of 172, she was very stable and she can go max upto 180 on road and 195 on dyno machine. I have encountered severe situations where I had to apply panic braking at high speed, she was always my best friend during those situations and never disappointed me, breaking system of this bike is fabulous, and the dual channel ABS works the best to date. If you are good at handling, then you can control this bike as per your skills at any speed and in any position. This bike can be ridden on any kind of road as it provides comfort and the best shock-absorbing suspension.
    PFB, Speed/gear pattern:-
    1st - 55 to 60
    2nd - 60 to 95
    3rd - upto 115
    4th - upto 130
    5th - upto 155
    6th - 155 to 180
    Definitely depending on the condition of the bike.

    Tips for other riders

    Follow as per the company guidelines, do get serviced on time. She will survive more than 15 years. Few tips I would like to share:- Always fuel up with extra premium petrol only (Speed, Power, etc as per availability). Always use 4 stroke Motul 7100 T engine oil at intervals of 2000 kms (much better if you can get 7200 T which is rarely available). Please do not use bajaj brand engine oil, even bajaj recommends Motul. Always get the chain cleaned and lubed at intervals of 250-300 kms. Do check whether the chain is tight or not, because it keeps getting loosened a bit at every 500 kms. The clutch should be tight as much as the bike starts marching when you release the clutch max to an inch from the handle. Maintain tyre pressure regularly - front 30, rear 40. Keep your bike always clean and all screws tightly screwed up for better performance.

  • Just go for test ride and you will love it!!

    Mustafa Rangoonwala

    Good day, readers.
    I'd like you to get a cup of tea and read the entire review since it's going to be long, and you'll need it. You will not comprehend the points if you do not read the entire evaluation, and you will continue to buy foreign products as normal.
    It all started when i realized i needed to get a gear bike since i was tired of my honda aviator 110cc, which i had ridden for over 42000 kilometers in less than two years. I began looking for a bike that provides performance comfort. Yeah, you heard correctly; i didn't go for mileage since i knew I'd be buying a bike with at least 300+ cc that wouldn't offer me ml, so don't look for it because you might be buying 900cc or 1250cc and won't receive ml or else you'll buy that bike (off track but the mindset is important).
    I began researching other manufacturers and began visiting their showrooms to assess price points and other things. I compiled a list of four bikes, which i also discussed in my first youtube video.
    1) Himalayan 2021 royal enfield
    2) imperiale 400 Benelli
    3) the re meteor
    Did you notice anything unusual?... Yes, Bajaj was my last option. So i started looking at specs and anything else that was available online and offline. I started questioning friends about it, and i went insane. Yes, you'll have to be insane to get the correct one, and i was looking for performance and comfort with beast mode.
    After much deliberation and after visiting about 50+ showrooms of several bike manufacturers, i opted for the dominar 400.
    Now, most people would opt for re or Benelli or anything else, but i'll tell you what i was searching for in my bike.
    I was looking at engine power, torque, and comfort, and none of them could compete with the dominar 400 ug 2021 edition.
    Engine411 cc power 24.31 ps torque 32 nm mileage 32.04 km brakes tube for double disc tyres
    Specifications for the royal enfield meteor 350
    Max power is 20.4 ps at 6100 rpm, while max torque is 27 nm at 4000 rpm.
    Front disc brake
    Fuel capacity 15 l body type cruiser bikes rear brake disc
    Bajaj dominar 400 ug 2021
    Engine 373.3 cc power 40 ps torque 35 nm mileage 26.50 km brakes
    Tubeless double disc tyre
    Finally, i opted for the dominar 400 because it can perform some off-roading, but the re Himalayan was meant primarily for off-roading, but the specs were still poor. It's not a bad bike, but you're paying your hard-earned money for it, right? of course, re Himalayan owners would be wild about this bike, and i believe they are correct, but at some point, you need torque.
    I believe the dominar 400 is an underdog bike, but trust me, it's a beast...Yeah, it's heavy and has some flaws, such as the tank not being made of metal, but every bike has some or other issue. Rather than sacrificing performance and power, i would go for a heavier bike.
    The dominar 400 ug version is one of the best 400cc bikes in its class... Trust me, compare it to any other brand and see what you get here. Congratulations to the Bajaj group. I'm looking forward to the dominar 600 or 900cc...

  • The hulky beast

    3 years ago


    Sreedev

    It's a value for money bike. It's a hybrid bike, as we can use it for a daily purpose bike and for long ride also. Comparing with other bike in it's segment we feel comfortable even to take family for a ride. My dominar is aurora green as eye catching color, makes people noticing as from far itself. Highway cruising and cornering with the bike is awesome. Braking also good, we feel the bike is stable enough. It's exhaust sound with base sound make noticeable on road.The headlamps of the bike is very very good than any other bike that we get good visible in night.Service cost also reason considering it category. I am using dominar since 1.5 yrs i haven't noticed any issues or complaints unless the crash guard bolt broke without any reason, but the service center replaced me free of cost even the other side also. Overall i feel it awesome to be a dominar owner.

  • Service you would never get with dominar

    3 years ago


    Saumil Christian

    Service offered is pathetic, no trained technicians are available to cater riders concerns. I have continues problem of clutch where it gets loosen even after I get it fixed and due to which the bike rolls jam even after applying full clutch
    So even after applying clutch, to move the bike is difficult. No availability of the parts.
    The chain snapped out while I was driving and fortunately nothing happened to me but the wheel got stuck due to the same. Chain and sprocket of lower quality.
    I would suggest to go for any other brand as they do listen to the customers concerns and sort it out for them.
    My concern are still the same with the bike.
    And I am trying to get it exchanged with another brand.

  • Her name "DOMINAR" is enough because she craves for Dominian, not for a proportion. Well said by Bajaj " Let's Dominate the Nine Realms".

    1 year ago


    Vipul

    The purchasing experience was good, the salesperson treated me well and brilliantly explained the bike. Value for money, because its cheap and best in 400cc segment provided with high power of 40 PS, torque of 27 Nm, high-end electrical functions, and all other basic specifications and features
    When it comes to the riding experience, I must say it's fabulous, take it to any road or no road she delivers her best. Provides comfort to the rider and also the riding position is best than the rest of other bikes, and also provides comfort to the pillion regardless of speed, bike position in running, high acceleration, etc. This bike is also known as a sports tourer as it delivers very high power and torque, which makes it far much better than any of the bikes upto 400cc except KTM 390cc bikes.
    (FYI, Dominar 400 is not a track-ready bike it comes under the category of naked sports, so there is no point of comparing it with fairing body type bikes such as RC390, RR310, CBR250, R1, BMW RR310 or above).
    When it comes to looks, she is just like fire, burning up the ways. People get attracted to her muscular body at just a single glance. Of course, she is a head-turner.
    Performance, as I have already mentioned above she is the best in 400cc segment (top in Indian manufactured brands). It has been a year now I am riding this bike and have ridden this bike at top speed of 172, she was very stable and she can go max upto 180 on road and 195 on dyno machine. I have encountered severe situations where I had to apply panic braking at high speed, she was always my best friend during those situations and never disappointed me, breaking system of this bike is fabulous, and the dual channel ABS works the best to date. If you are good at handling, then you can control this bike as per your skills at any speed and in any position. This bike can be ridden on any kind of road as it provides comfort and the best shock-absorbing suspension.
    PFB, Speed/gear pattern:-
    1st - 55 to 60
    2nd - 60 to 95
    3rd - upto 115
    4th - upto 130
    5th - upto 155
    6th - 155 to 180
    Definitely depending on the condition of the bike.

    Tips for other riders

    Follow as per the company guidelines, do get serviced on time. She will survive more than 15 years. Few tips I would like to share:- Always fuel up with extra premium petrol only (Speed, Power, etc as per availability). Always use 4 stroke Motul 7100 T engine oil at intervals of 2000 kms (much better if you can get 7200 T which is rarely available). Please do not use bajaj brand engine oil, even bajaj recommends Motul. Always get the chain cleaned and lubed at intervals of 250-300 kms. Do check whether the chain is tight or not, because it keeps getting loosened a bit at every 500 kms. The clutch should be tight as much as the bike starts marching when you release the clutch max to an inch from the handle. Maintain tyre pressure regularly - front 30, rear 40. Keep your bike always clean and all screws tightly screwed up for better performance.

    Amol Ashok Giri

    Just take test ride. Amazing build quality. Superb look. Like a beast. It would be great if get color options. Otherwise it's awesome. Dual abs is great breaking system in d4. You can tour the world with this beast. Compare to price aspect it is slightly high but its ok to have such beast in out life.

  • Cons are heavyweight and not as refined as Japanese motorcycle

    1 year ago


    Vikas

    Buying experience and services are not that good but I'm reviewing the bike itself has everything you need for touring ..On the highway it's awesome but at low speed, it feels heavy. You need to maintain at least 3-liter fuel for smooth operation. Or you feel vibes on the handlebar and wrist... Don't buy if you use only city commuting...If your short heighted don't buy at least if you're 5.9" service is a cheap and low-maintenance motorcycle. But service centers are the worst. I have a very bad experience.

  • Great bike with massive looks and good performance

    3 years ago


    Kunal Chanda

    Riding experience of this bike is amazing. Feels like driving a super bike. You can overtake any vehicle any time, acceleration is so good. Bike looks like very premium. I would suggest to do service this bike only in Bajaj authorized service center because its complicated. Try to lube chain in every 500 km.

  • Just go for test ride and you will love it!!

    2 years ago


    Mustafa Rangoonwala

    Good day, readers.
    I'd like you to get a cup of tea and read the entire review since it's going to be long, and you'll need it. You will not comprehend the points if you do not read the entire evaluation, and you will continue to buy foreign products as normal.
    It all started when i realized i needed to get a gear bike since i was tired of my honda aviator 110cc, which i had ridden for over 42000 kilometers in less than two years. I began looking for a bike that provides performance comfort. Yeah, you heard correctly; i didn't go for mileage since i knew I'd be buying a bike with at least 300+ cc that wouldn't offer me ml, so don't look for it because you might be buying 900cc or 1250cc and won't receive ml or else you'll buy that bike (off track but the mindset is important).
    I began researching other manufacturers and began visiting their showrooms to assess price points and other things. I compiled a list of four bikes, which i also discussed in my first youtube video.
    1) Himalayan 2021 royal enfield
    2) imperiale 400 Benelli
    3) the re meteor
    Did you notice anything unusual?... Yes, Bajaj was my last option. So i started looking at specs and anything else that was available online and offline. I started questioning friends about it, and i went insane. Yes, you'll have to be insane to get the correct one, and i was looking for performance and comfort with beast mode.
    After much deliberation and after visiting about 50+ showrooms of several bike manufacturers, i opted for the dominar 400.
    Now, most people would opt for re or Benelli or anything else, but i'll tell you what i was searching for in my bike.
    I was looking at engine power, torque, and comfort, and none of them could compete with the dominar 400 ug 2021 edition.
    Engine411 cc power 24.31 ps torque 32 nm mileage 32.04 km brakes tube for double disc tyres
    Specifications for the royal enfield meteor 350
    Max power is 20.4 ps at 6100 rpm, while max torque is 27 nm at 4000 rpm.
    Front disc brake
    Fuel capacity 15 l body type cruiser bikes rear brake disc
    Bajaj dominar 400 ug 2021
    Engine 373.3 cc power 40 ps torque 35 nm mileage 26.50 km brakes
    Tubeless double disc tyre
    Finally, i opted for the dominar 400 because it can perform some off-roading, but the re Himalayan was meant primarily for off-roading, but the specs were still poor. It's not a bad bike, but you're paying your hard-earned money for it, right? of course, re Himalayan owners would be wild about this bike, and i believe they are correct, but at some point, you need torque.
    I believe the dominar 400 is an underdog bike, but trust me, it's a beast...Yeah, it's heavy and has some flaws, such as the tank not being made of metal, but every bike has some or other issue. Rather than sacrificing performance and power, i would go for a heavier bike.
    The dominar 400 ug version is one of the best 400cc bikes in its class... Trust me, compare it to any other brand and see what you get here. Congratulations to the Bajaj group. I'm looking forward to the dominar 600 or 900cc...

  • DOMINAR 400 BS6 - Stunning

    4 years ago


    Pranoy Banerjee

    Superb acceleration: none can beat you while crossing bumpers with this kind of stability.
    Dual disc brakes with double channel abs man it will save your life from occasional potholes, squids, stray animals, cows etc.
    Economy is decent, 30-32 kmpl before first service.
    The real wheel was wobbling a bit when I bought it, fell down in rural muddy road due to this.
    it isn't completely vibe less but way less than RE and goes down after 1st service.
    why I choose it over RE Himalayan: i was hell bent for buying Himalayan but bought Dominar for these reasons:
    I won't be riding all day long in so called "no roads".
    spares and service is way affordable. the mirrors got scratched , 370 rs. the brake lever scraped, 200 rs. way affordable man to maintain this beast. and suspension is way better than other competitors.
    I guess tires could have been better though not much an experienced rider, this is my first bike but this is excellent machine and superb VFM.
    I will never regret it for buying it for buying over Himalyan.

    A beast bike, Standard bike Best performance, Very stylish Mileage is good i.E. Around 25 kmpl for 400 cc. Very comfortable, Heavy but easy to handle Requires chain maintenance weekly.

  • Very good purchase

    4 years ago


    Manisundaram

    Buying experience at bajaj dealership is very average. But the bike is worth every penny spent on it. Bajaj is highly underrated brand in india mainly due to their showrooms most of which not customer friendly. They cannot be compared other international brand's showrooms in terms of look, display of bikes, friendly sales representatives, etc.

    Good day, readers.
    I'd like you to get a cup of tea and read the entire review since it's going to be long, and you'll need it. You will not comprehend the points if you do not read the entire evaluation, and you will continue to buy foreign products as normal.
    It all started when i realized i needed to get a gear bike since i was tired of my honda aviator 110cc, which i had ridden for over 42000 kilometers in less than two years.

Yeah, you heard correctly; i didn't go for mileage since i knew I'd be buying a bike with at least 300+ cc that wouldn't offer me ml, so don't look for it because you might be buying 900cc or 1250cc and won't receive ml or else you'll buy that bike (off track but the mindset is important).
    I began researching other manufacturers and began visiting their showrooms to assess price points and other things. I compiled a list of four bikes, which i also discussed in my first youtube video.
    1) Himalayan 2021 royal enfield
    2) imperiale 400 Benelli
    3) the re meteor
    Did you notice anything unusual?... Yes, Bajaj was my last option. So i started looking at specs and anything else that was available online and offline. I started questioning friends about it, and i went insane. Yes, you'll have to be insane to get the correct one, and i was looking for performance and comfort with beast mode.
    After much deliberation and after visiting about 50+ showrooms of several bike manufacturers, i opted for the dominar 400.
    Now, most people would opt for re or Benelli or anything else, but i'll tell you what i was searching for in my bike.
    I was looking at engine power, torque, and comfort, and none of them could compete with the dominar 400 ug 2021 edition.
    Engine411 cc power 24.31 ps torque 32 nm mileage 32.04 km brakes tube for double disc tyres
    Specifications for the royal enfield meteor 350
    Max power is 20.4 ps at 6100 rpm, while max torque is 27 nm at 4000 rpm.
    Front disc brake
    Fuel capacity 15 l body type cruiser bikes rear brake disc
    Bajaj dominar 400 ug 2021
    Engine 373.3 cc power 40 ps torque 35 nm mileage 26.50 km brakes
    Tubeless double disc tyre
    Finally, i opted for the dominar 400 because it can perform some off-roading, but the re Himalayan was meant primarily for off-roading, but the specs were still poor. It's not a bad bike, but you're paying your hard-earned money for it, right? of course, re Himalayan owners would be wild about this bike, and i believe they are correct, but at some point, you need torque.
    I believe the dominar 400 is an underdog bike, but trust me, it's a beast...Yeah, it's heavy and has some flaws, such as the tank not being made of metal, but every bike has some or other issue. Rather than sacrificing performance and power, i would go for a heavier bike.
    The dominar 400 ug version is one of the best 400cc bikes in its class... Trust me, compare it to any other brand and see what you get here. Congratulations to the Bajaj group. I'm looking forward to the dominar 600 or 900cc...

  • DOMINAR 400 BS6 - Stunning

    4 years ago


    Pranoy Banerjee

    Superb acceleration: none can beat you while crossing bumpers with this kind of stability.
    Dual disc brakes with double channel abs man it will save your life from occasional potholes, squids, stray animals, cows etc.
    Economy is decent, 30-32 kmpl before first service.
    The real wheel was wobbling a bit when I bought it, fell down in rural muddy road due to this.
    it isn't completely vibe less but way less than RE and goes down after 1st service.
    why I choose it over RE Himalayan: i was hell bent for buying Himalayan but bought Dominar for these reasons:
    I won't be riding all day long in so called "no roads".
    spares and service is way affordable. the mirrors got scratched , 370 rs. the brake lever scraped, 200 rs. way affordable man to maintain this beast. and suspension is way better than other competitors.
    I guess tires could have been better though not much an experienced rider, this is my first bike but this is excellent machine and superb VFM.
    I will never regret it for buying it for buying over Himalyan.

    A beast bike, Standard bike Best performance, Very stylish Mileage is good i.E. Around 25 kmpl for 400 cc. Very comfortable, Heavy but easy to handle Requires chain maintenance weekly.

  • Very good purchase

    4 years ago


    Manisundaram

    Buying experience at bajaj dealership is very average. But the bike is worth every penny spent on it. Bajaj is highly underrated brand in india mainly due to their showrooms most of which not customer friendly. They cannot be compared other international brand's showrooms in terms of look, display of bikes, friendly sales representatives, etc.

  • The hulky beast

    3 years ago


    Sreedev

    It's a value for money bike. It's a hybrid bike, as we can use it for a daily purpose bike and for long ride also. Comparing with other bike in it's segment we feel comfortable even to take family for a ride. My dominar is aurora green as eye catching color, makes people noticing as from far itself. Highway cruising and cornering with the bike is awesome. Braking also good, we feel the bike is stable enough. It's exhaust sound with base sound make noticeable on road.The headlamps of the bike is very very good than any other bike that we get good visible in night.Service cost also reason considering it category. I am using dominar since 1.5 yrs i haven't noticed any issues or complaints unless the crash guard bolt broke without any reason, but the service center replaced me free of cost even the other side also. Overall i feel it awesome to be a dominar owner.

  • Service you would never get with dominar

    3 years ago


    Saumil Christian

    Service offered is pathetic, no trained technicians are available to cater riders concerns. I have continues problem of clutch where it gets loosen even after I get it fixed and due to which the bike rolls jam even after applying full clutch
    So even after applying clutch, to move the bike is difficult. No availability of the parts.
    The chain snapped out while I was driving and fortunately nothing happened to me but the wheel got stuck due to the same. Chain and sprocket of lower quality.
    I would suggest to go for any other brand as they do listen to the customers concerns and sort it out for them.
    My concern are still the same with the bike.
    And I am trying to get it exchanged with another brand.

  • Her name "DOMINAR" is enough because she craves for Dominian, not for a proportion. Well said by Bajaj " Let's Dominate the Nine Realms".

    1 year ago


    Vipul

    The purchasing experience was good, the salesperson treated me well and brilliantly explained the bike. Value for money, because its cheap and best in 400cc segment provided with high power of 40 PS, torque of 27 Nm, high-end electrical functions, and all other basic specifications and features
    When it comes to the riding experience, I must say it's fabulous, take it to any road or no road she delivers her best. Provides comfort to the rider and also the riding position is best than the rest of other bikes, and also provides comfort to the pillion regardless of speed, bike position in running, high acceleration, etc. This bike is also known as a sports tourer as it delivers very high power and torque, which makes it far much better than any of the bikes upto 400cc except KTM 390cc bikes.
    (FYI, Dominar 400 is not a track-ready bike it comes under the category of naked sports, so there is no point of comparing it with fairing body type bikes such as RC390, RR310, CBR250, R1, BMW RR310 or above).
    When it comes to looks, she is just like fire, burning up the ways. People get attracted to her muscular body at just a single glance. Of course, she is a head-turner.
    Performance, as I have already mentioned above she is the best in 400cc segment (top in Indian manufactured brands). It has been a year now I am riding this bike and have ridden this bike at top speed of 172, she was very stable and she can go max upto 180 on road and 195 on dyno machine. I have encountered severe situations where I had to apply panic braking at high speed, she was always my best friend during those situations and never disappointed me, breaking system of this bike is fabulous, and the dual channel ABS works the best to date. If you are good at handling, then you can control this bike as per your skills at any speed and in any position. This bike can be ridden on any kind of road as it provides comfort and the best shock-absorbing suspension.
    PFB, Speed/gear pattern:-
    1st - 55 to 60
    2nd - 60 to 95
    3rd - upto 115
    4th - upto 130
    5th - upto 155
    6th - 155 to 180
    Definitely depending on the condition of the bike.

    Tips for other riders

    Follow as per the company guidelines, do get serviced on time. She will survive more than 15 years. Few tips I would like to share:- Always fuel up with extra premium petrol only (Speed, Power, etc as per availability). Always use 4 stroke Motul 7100 T engine oil at intervals of 2000 kms (much better if you can get 7200 T which is rarely available). Please do not use bajaj brand engine oil, even bajaj recommends Motul. Always get the chain cleaned and lubed at intervals of 250-300 kms. Do check whether the chain is tight or not, because it keeps getting loosened a bit at every 500 kms. The clutch should be tight as much as the bike starts marching when you release the clutch max to an inch from the handle. Maintain tyre pressure regularly - front 30, rear 40. Keep your bike always clean and all screws tightly screwed up for better performance.

    Amol Ashok Giri

    Just take test ride. Amazing build quality. Superb look. Like a beast. It would be great if get color options. Otherwise it's awesome. Dual abs is great breaking system in d4. You can tour the world with this beast. Compare to price aspect it is slightly high but its ok to have such beast in out life.

  • Cons are heavyweight and not as refined as Japanese motorcycle

    1 year ago


    Vikas

    Buying experience and services are not that good but I'm reviewing the bike itself has everything you need for touring ..On the highway it's awesome but at low speed, it feels heavy. You need to maintain at least 3-liter fuel for smooth operation. Or you feel vibes on the handlebar and wrist... Don't buy if you use only city commuting...If your short heighted don't buy at least if you're 5.9" service is a cheap and low-maintenance motorcycle. But service centers are the worst. I have a very bad experience.

    Kunal Chanda

    Riding experience of this bike is amazing. Feels like driving a super bike. You can overtake any vehicle any time, acceleration is so good. Bike looks like very premium. I would suggest to do service this bike only in Bajaj authorized service center because its complicated. Try to lube chain in every 500 km.

  • Just go for test ride and you will love it!!

    2 years ago


    Mustafa Rangoonwala

    Good day, readers.
    I'd like you to get a cup of tea and read the entire review since it's going to be long, and you'll need it. You will not comprehend the points if you do not read the entire evaluation, and you will continue to buy foreign products as normal.
    It all started when i realized i needed to get a gear bike since i was tired of my honda aviator 110cc, which i had ridden for over 42000 kilometers in less than two years. I began looking for a bike that provides performance comfort. Yeah, you heard correctly; i didn't go for mileage since i knew I'd be buying a bike with at least 300+ cc that wouldn't offer me ml, so don't look for it because you might be buying 900cc or 1250cc and won't receive ml or else you'll buy that bike (off track but the mindset is important).
    I began researching other manufacturers and began visiting their showrooms to assess price points and other things. I compiled a list of four bikes, which i also discussed in my first youtube video.
    1) Himalayan 2021 royal enfield
    2) imperiale 400 Benelli
    3) the re meteor
    Did you notice anything unusual?... Yes, Bajaj was my last option. So i started looking at specs and anything else that was available online and offline. I started questioning friends about it, and i went insane. Yes, you'll have to be insane to get the correct one, and i was looking for performance and comfort with beast mode.
    After much deliberation and after visiting about 50+ showrooms of several bike manufacturers, i opted for the dominar 400.
    Now, most people would opt for re or Benelli or anything else, but i'll tell you what i was searching for in my bike.
    I was looking at engine power, torque, and comfort, and none of them could compete with the dominar 400 ug 2021 edition.
    Engine411 cc power 24.31 ps torque 32 nm mileage 32.04 km brakes tube for double disc tyres
    Specifications for the royal enfield meteor 350
    Max power is 20.4 ps at 6100 rpm, while max torque is 27 nm at 4000 rpm.
    Front disc brake
    Fuel capacity 15 l body type cruiser bikes rear brake disc
    Bajaj dominar 400 ug 2021
    Engine 373.3 cc power 40 ps torque 35 nm mileage 26.50 km brakes
    Tubeless double disc tyre
    Finally, i opted for the dominar 400 because it can perform some off-roading, but the re Himalayan was meant primarily for off-roading, but the specs were still poor. It's not a bad bike, but you're paying your hard-earned money for it, right? of course, re Himalayan owners would be wild about this bike, and i believe they are correct, but at some point, you need torque.
    I believe the dominar 400 is an underdog bike, but trust me, it's a beast...Yeah, it's heavy and has some flaws, such as the tank not being made of metal, but every bike has some or other issue. Rather than sacrificing performance and power, i would go for a heavier bike.
    The dominar 400 ug version is one of the best 400cc bikes in its class... Trust me, compare it to any other brand and see what you get here. Congratulations to the Bajaj group. I'm looking forward to the dominar 600 or 900cc...

    Tips for other riders

    Follow as per the company guidelines, do get serviced on time. She will survive more than 15 years. Few tips I would like to share:- Always fuel up with extra premium petrol only (Speed, Power, etc as per availability). Always use 4 stroke Motul 7100 T engine oil at intervals of 2000 kms (much better if you can get 7200 T which is rarely available). Please do not use bajaj brand engine oil, even bajaj recommends Motul. Always get the chain cleaned and lubed at intervals of 250-300 kms. Do check whether the chain is tight or not, because it keeps getting loosened a bit at every 500 kms. The clutch should be tight as much as the bike starts marching when you release the clutch max to an inch from the handle. Maintain tyre pressure regularly - front 30, rear 40. Keep your bike always clean and all screws tightly screwed up for better performance.
