Planning to buy a new sports tourer or upgrade to a more powerful bike? Instead of the KTM Duke or Rc here is an affordable alternative that you can choose. The Dominar 400 is a particular example of being a everyday enthusiast bike. Its a perfect street fighter style motorcycle for the highway rides and easy commutes plus it was easy on the pocket.
But as it seems the Dominar might make a come back. Since Bajaj has been planning to update its lineup in the country. Recently Bajaj launched its NS 200 and now the brand is in pursuit to give their Dominar 400 a update. The Dominar is considered to be a stalwart in the enthusiast community thanks to its affordable price tag as well as the reliability that Bajaj offers. It might soon get an update as per the rumour mills over the internet.
As per a few images that have been circulating over the internet the vehicle would be updated by Bajaj, and a few new technological advances would be added to the vehicle.
Bajaj’s Update For The Bike
Bajaj is currently working on updating its affordable flagship tourer and hence the bike would be updated to have a a few technological updates. Bajaj would give the bike a new instrument cluster, with Bluetooth connectivity. The instrument cluster that the bike would have would be similar to the one seen on the NS 400 Z model.
This new cluster has a unique design with two set of displays. The majority of the screen displays information’s like speedo Tacho gear position indicator, odometer, ride modes time, side stand indicator, cell phone connectivity indicator and a battery level indicator as well. This would be one of the most major updates done by a OEM after a look new at the new RS 200.
The Display has been adjusted as per the new Dominar, and would help the user stay in connection with the bikes info while on the go.
Why Is Dominar One Of The Best Street Fighter Bike
When launched there were only a few competitors to the Dominar brand. The KTM Duke 390 was launched near the release date of the Dominar and hence it was a close competitor to the bike. While the bike was a little short of horse power than the duke. It was a perfect choice at a much more affordable price. The fact that Bajaj is able to provide you machines such as the NS 200 and Dominar 400 at such prices make them a go to choice for many. We would recommend that you wait for the Dominar’s comeback as a possible formidable choice for the market or even test ride the NS400 as a possible alternative.
