Overview
The Dominar 400 is the least romantic and most useful large-capacity motorcycle in India. Its 373cc single does not rev like an adventure bike and does not have a twin’s character, but 35 Nm is on the wrist from barely above idle, which means the rider spends long stretches in fifth and sixth gear without touching the clutch. For real highway distance with a pillion, that is worth more than peak power.
The equipment list makes the argument sharper. A properly adjustable screen, under-seat exhaust routing that keeps heat away from the pillion, a wide flat dual seat and bar-mounted mirrors produce a motorcycle that is already tour-ready at a price where rivals expect owners to buy accessories. At 120 km/h it is quiet enough for conversation and stable enough to leave the bars.
The trade-off is mass and agility. At 193 kg it is 19 kg heavier than the RTR 310 and it is undeniably wide, so the quick lane-change that the TVS manages casually has to be planned here. The fat 150-section rear also seeks ruts on coarse tarmac, and the front end feels less informative than the numbers suggest. Buyers who ride mostly alone should look at the sports naked options; buyers who tour in pairs should test-ride nothing else at this price.
- 35 Nm of torque from 6,500 rpm — the strongest here
- Adjustable screen and under-seat exhaust as standard
- Six-speed gearbox with a slipper clutch

Pros and cons
What we like
- Strongest mid-range pull of any single-cylinder here
- Touring equipment fitted at the factory rather than added later
- Comfortable for two adults over genuine highway distance
What we would change
- 193 kg and a wide body make it slow to change direction
- The fat rear tyre hunts for ruts on coarse tarmac
- Front-end feedback does not match the chassis’s ability

Latest news on Dominar 400
Frequently asked questions
What is the Dominar 400 price?
From ₹2.18 lakh ex-showroom for the base motorcycle to ₹2.33 lakh with the touring package. It undercuts both 350cc Royal Enfields while offering more outright performance.
What mileage does the Dominar 400 return?
The claimed figure is 28 kmpl. On highway work at a steady 100-110 km/h owners report 27-31 kmpl; heavy city use lands near 24 kmpl.
How does it compare with the Himalayan 450?
The Bajaj is quicker, cheaper, better wind-protected and more comfortable for two on tarmac. The Royal Enfield is the more involving rider’s motorcycle and the only one of the two that can be taken off-road with confidence.
Is the Dominar 400 good for a beginner?
The torque is easy to respect and the seat is low, but the weight and width make it a demanding motorcycle to catch at a standstill. A rider’s first large-capacity bike is usually not this one.
