Now, Bajaj has launched the Dominar 400 with an extensive array of factory-fitted touring accessories at Rs 2.17 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi).
- Dominar 400 with accessories package costs about Rs 5,000 more than standard model
- Replaces the existing model

Bajaj Dominar 400: what’s new?
The new accessories package on the Dominar 400 has been optimised for long-distance touring, and, as such, comes equipped with a much taller visor and new hand guards. It also gets a new luggage carrier and a back rest for the pillion.
Other functional upgrades to the motorcycle include a metal engine bash plate and a leg guard that has been neatly integrated, improving the crash protection of the motorcycle. Bajaj has also added a couple of convenience features such as a cast aluminium integrated navigation stay for riders to mount their navigation devices on and a USB charging port to keep their devices topped up.
The standard Bajaj Dominar 400 used to cost Rs 2.12 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi). But the new model with accessories – which is the only variant available for sale – costs just Rs 5,000 more and replaces the current model.
Apart from the accessories included in the package, Bajaj is also selling a saddle stay for saddlebags to be secured in place, but it will be a paid accessory sold separately by Bajaj Auto dealers for a thus far undisclosed price.
