History

The motorcycle was first shown as the Bajaj Pulsar CS400 concept at the 2014 Auto Expo. Bajaj choose to launch the bike with different brand name "Dominar", which was derived from a Spanish word meaning "to excel" or "to exceed in power". Dominar was launched in December 2016 as a naked sports bike, at that time it was Bajaj's largest-displacement premium segment motorcycle. The engine was a 373.3 cc, fuel-injected, liquid-cooled, four-valve single-cylinder unit using Bajaj's triple-spark technology. Bajaj Dominar 400 is widely regarded by riders as highly stable when cruising at high speeds of 120–150 kmph.

It became one of the best selling bikes in Latin American countries such as Brazil due to cruising and touring accessories with the bike at affordable prices.

Bajaj has downgraded the engine from 373cc engine to a 350cc engine from 2026 onwards.
