The recently launched 2019 Bajaj Dominar 400 is equipped with some important and interesting upgrades when compared to its predecessor. The 2019 version is now powered by an engine that develops more power and gets better chassis components which increase the ‘value-for-money performance bike’ appeal of the Dominar. Let’s have a look at all the new upgrades and how the latest version of the Dominar 400 compares against its previous generation model:
Dimensions
In terms of dimensions, the length and height of the Bajaj Dominar 400 have remained the same, but the width has increased by 23mm because of the new and longer bar-end weights which have been added to improve the stability of the bike at high speeds. Due to some new additions like a dual-barrel exhaust, the 2019 Dominar is now 2 kgs heavier than its predecessor, while the rest of the dimensions like wheelbase, ground clearance and fuel tank capacity have remained untouched.
