Update: Bajaj Auto has issued a statement confirming that the Dominar 400 Non-ABS variant has not been discontinued and is currently available exclusively in the matte black paintjob.
Reports suggest that Bajaj Auto plans to discontinue the non ABS variant of its most powerful product till date, the Dominar 400. It is believed that this variant of the Dominar 400 is being discontinued here in India due to the lack of demand in the market.
Bajaj Auto has revealed that 80% of the sales of the Dominar 400 is for the ABS equipped variant while just 20% of buyers opt for the non-ABS variant of the motorcycle. With the non ABS variant no longer on sale, prices for the Bajaj Dominar 400 will start at INR 1.56 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi). The non ABS variant of the Dominar 400 was available with a price tag starting at INR 1.36 lakh when it was launched back in December 2016. The model recently received an update in the form of new paint job options in 2018.
