The premium bike is touted as a tough competitor in the 350cc-plus range Morung Express News Dimapur | April 17 Bajaj Auto’s latest offering in the premium bike segment – the Dominar 400 went on sale today. Priced at Rs. 1, 60,151 (ex-showroom - Dimapur), the Dominar was launched at SK Bajaj showroom, Dimapur following its nation-wide launch in March. By far the most powerful of the bikes manufactured by the Indian 2-wheeler giant, Dominaar is Bajaj’s ambitious foray into the 350cc-plus segment following the success of the NS 200 and RS 200 in the Pulsar series. With an engine displacement of 373cc, it is touted as a tough competitor that would ruffle the market in the 350cc-plus range and woo enthusiasts looking for power and sporty finesse. Budget bikers with dreams of laying hands on the famed European brands can come as close to the dream with the Dominar. Fuel economy is less a concern in the premium segment but as per SK Bajaj sales executives, it returns with a mileage of roughly 20-25 kmpl. At 35PS of power and 35Nm of torque, the Dominar shoots to 100km/h in 8.23 seconds, states the Dominar’s promotional brochure. With a low saddle, a 13-litre capacity fuel tank and comfortable riding stance, it promises strength and stability for those into bike tours and manoeuvrability in congested city roads.
