Bajaj Auto slashes the Dominar 400’s price by Rs 37,000 to Rs 2.04 lakh ex-showroom through clever 349cc downsizing (from 373cc), mirroring Triumph’s tax-smart strategy to drop from 40% to 18% GST bracket. Identical touring package retains premium value at aggressive pricing.

Engine Downsizing: Power Preserved, Torque Tweaked
349cc liquid-cooled DOHC single-cylinder maintains 40.6hp @ 9,000rpm (+0.6hp) but peak torque dips to 33.2Nm @ 7,500rpm (-1.8Nm vs old 35Nm @ 6,500rpm). 6-speed gearbox, slip/assist clutch unchanged. Lighter by 3kg at 190kg kerb – bore intact, stroke shortened for sub-350cc compliance.

Unchanged Touring Arsenal
Retains full LED lighting, dual-channel ABS, USD forks (43mm), preload-adjustable monoshock (177mm travel), 320mm front/240mm rear discs. 17″/17″ alloys with 110/70 & 150/60 tubeless tyres, 866mm seat height, 157mm ground clearance, 13L tank. Bluetooth K-connected dash, USB-C, split grab rails standard.
