Kickstarting a new power cruiser segment in the Indian two-wheeler market, Bajajlaunched its most powerful offering, the new Dominar 400 at a sticker price of Rs 1.36 lakh on Thursday.
Based on the CS400 concept that was showcased at the 2012 Auto Expo, the bike in its dual-channel ABS version will cost you Rs 1.5 lakh (both prices, ex-showroom, Delhi).
The name of the bike has been derived from the native Spanish language and literally translates to 'to excel' or 'exceed in power'. With the new Dominar 400, Bajaj plans to create a new family of motorcycles, adding to its existing Pulsar, Discover and Avenger ranges, and the V15 commuter.
In terms of looks, the new Bajaj sports an LED unit for a headlamp - a first for any bike in this segment. The instrument console is an all-digital unit as the tell-tale lights have been mounted on the tank.
At the heart of things is the 373cc, liquid-cooled, four-valve motor that has been borrowed from the KTM 390 Duke. The motor comes equipped with Bajaj's triple spark technology and DTS-i technology that enables it to produce 35PS at 8,000rpm and 35Nm at 6,500rpm of peak torque.

Power is transmitted through a six-speed transmission while the biggest talking point is the addition of a slipper clutch. The fuel tank capacity stands at 13 litres but, at 182kg, the Dominar comes across as a bulky ride.
