Bajaj Auto will launch the Dominar 400 in the next few minutes. The most powerful Bajaj motorcycle yet, the Dominar 400 was first showcased at the 2014 Auto Expo in the concept form. Back in the month of August was the first time that the model, then known as the CS400, was spied testing. Following a number of spy images, chase videos and name changes (CS400 > VS400> Kratos 400 > Dominar 400), Bajaj Auto announced the launch of their upcoming 400cc motorcycle late last month. The company had already commenced production of the Dominar 400 prior to this announcement.
Now, let us tell you a few things about the motorcycle. The Dominar 400 you see in the images is not a lot different from the model showcased at the 2014 Auto Expo save for a few changes. The production spec Dominar 400, as compared to the concept form, receives a telescopic fork suspension up-front instead of the USD forks and slightly watered down LED headlamps. The front disc brake too, has now been positioned to the right hand side instead of the left hand side as seen on the concept.

The model is likely to be available in two variants, one with a single channel ABS and the top-end variant with dual channel ABS.
