Notice the neat wire management. Triumph partnership bearing fruits.
Damn, yes
Bajaj targetting the aspiring middle class Indian. You may not be attracted by the design, but this will sell because of its competative price. 1.85 lacs is a steal deal.
They should have launched this bike 4-5 years back, even though the design looks good, its a almost 10 year old platform (NS200)
It works. Whats the problem here?
@@darshan404 The biggest motor cycle company doing this is unacceptable
Maybe one of the reasons why they are able to price the bike very effectively because of shared parts
Ya but it's 4 valve , liquid cooled , drive by wire.
@@chinmaypillay true.
Am happy india is becoming east asia in terms of biking culture, evolution from 200cc to 400cc standard.
Petrol toh sasta karo😂😂😂
Whyyy
Why the didn't do this just 6 months ago
I bought Karizma xmr 6 months ago 🥹🥹
Although I'm happy with Karizma
But still a 400 is a 400
@@pulkitgajbhiye7664 bro noooooo, why karizma. That suck ass
@@almightyhimself9284 what sucks man
My Karizma is great 😐
@@pulkitgajbhiye7664 comon. u really dont believe that right
40bhp with a kerb weight of 174 kg's will definetly shine
Its all about wheel power....how much the bike in reality throws out over to the rear wheel.....bajaj has the history of huge powerloss
That boxy swing arm 😢 once you see it you cant unsee it 😅
And I thought it was just me!
And you won't even see it once you buy it and start using it.
DRLs are really impressive
I don't care about all those controversies and discussions around the Bajaj brand or the Pulsar brand, I just see this as a great value for money motorcycle. As Rishad said you are getting "a lot of motorcycle" for this price. At the end of the day it's a great great value for money overall package which you can't ignore. It has got everything you need. From my perspective, whatever I wanted the bike has got it and even more.
It looks best it white! Really impressed by the package Bajaj is offering here.
This motorcycle should have released years ago
Price is better than adipurush budget
🤣
LOLLLLLLLLLL
I hope they make an Avenger 400 street, it's been way too long since 2018 when Avenger 220 street was discontinued.
I don’t get why Bajaj is so stubborn with that swing arm. Make it look sportier. It still looks way too cheap 🤷🏻♂️
Other than that I think I like the bike.
If you care about swingarm buy the duke 390
Yes, they definitely cheaped out on that swing arm. What's bad is it's instantly noticeable, what with the underbelly exhaust not hiding it.
Bajaj really had access to ktm's 390 and Triumph's 400 engines and still used the Dominar's engine
Cost cutting
Dominar uses old gem Duke engine. Why would they fuk up their premium ktm and triumph sales by putting latest spec engine in pulsar and price it under 2 lakh?
Right, but then it would lead to product cannibalism
You always look the glass as half filled?
BAJAJ can't use an engine that's developed by another company before a time period like TVS 310 and BMW 310
This is what I was waiting for! The N headlamp with the NS chassis
Seriously bro NS design is much older now .. 😂😂
Looks may be subjective but for the price the feature list is really commendable. At this price one instead of getting R15 or any other 250cc bikes one can get a 400cc motorcycle which uses a reliable and proven engine. All the necessary electronic electronics are there, the chassis is better compared to the counterparts. I hope the specs sheets translate to a fun riding experience in the real world as well.
Yep. Looks and sounds like great fun, let's just hope it is too. As you said, all the ingredients are in place and the price is amazing.
Even if they raise it to 2 lakh, for a 390 Duke engine, that is a steal
@@_shreyash_anand this bike is using an dominar engine , not the duke one
@@rahuldash3332 well, Dominar's engine is just a detuned version of Duke 390's engine (last gen 373 cc engine). And it's detuned to be less frantic and more friendly than 390. So it is actually duke 390's engine.
Ihv used a dominar for 4 years. It was a wonderful bike for touring...fast as well. This bike 19kgs lighter with a aggressive mapping will definitely be a good bike. People complaining about Bajaj can keep complaining but for that price it's a steal!
I had the first gen pulsar. This product line has been so much refined so far. But I have been waiting for an automatic motorcycle, specially for urban commute. That would make these machines sell like hot cakes. Hopefully we’ll get one day.
It’s called activa
@@darkknight3377 🤣
@@darkknight3377😂
No man, automatic - and motorcycles - somehow the idea doesn't gel too well....There is something charming about using the clutch, gear, learning clutchless up/downshifts through rev-matching and so on...
There are a few bikes like Africa Twin which has DCT transmission as one of the options - but any real rider who loves motorcycles would want to learn the ability of using gears to the fullest on his or her own rather than some system doing it for you!!
For convenient short commute, there are always scooters!
you are looking for a scooter. Or the Honda Navi.
Is dominar going to get the same updated features that are available in NS400?
What a pricing 🥹🔥🔥
Bajaj should officially rename their brand name as pulsar 🤬
True😂 the pulsar is the most hazy name in the bike arena.. different cc, different character bikes still the same name - Pulsar
Maybe this bike is more 'dominar street' than a pulsar ns400z
nope soon you will see 100cc and 110cc pulsar range😂😂😂
Arre Bhai naam mein kya rakha hai? 😅
😂😂
Yeah I believe kind of what Mahindra done with its logo and the term SUV
Should've looked better if done in solid colours. Unnecessary decals ruining it as usual, par kya karein bhai, chhapri logon toh stickers hi pasand aayenge 😑
This is my exact complaint with every Indian brand; but yeah that last statement is true. Plus it won't be hard to wrap it into more solid colours, and the aggressive pricing definitely leaves room for mods
Planning on buying a red one and removing the stickers, early spy shots didnt have them and the bike looked way better that way
The NS written in such an ugly font is hurting my eyes. 😅
True
While I would normally agree with you about the excess decals being used, a few days ago the NS400Z was leaked in solid red without any decals. TBH this looks so much better.
this is good for ns series, ns really needed a good update
Since the ns 400 is here will there be a rs400 in the market ?
Is the seat ergonomics good
Why do much hate to the design. It's not bad at all. But yeah, why the Dom engine 😕
It's not the fact that it's bad... It's the fact that such a big step for the Pulsar brand comes with very minimal changes in design to establish it as the beast of a machine that it really is (according to the price point)... Moreover, the little changes that are there, are not exactly eye candy. Maybe it's a matter of taste, but the headlight design is pretty weird I'd say. It's neither fully NS, nor N and not even a great mixture of both either... It's not super ugly or anything, just not something we'd expect from Bajaj given its past designs, and given the fact that it's such a big step for the whole company, and most definitely the Pulsar brand
If they put the new-gen KTM or Triumph engine in this and then sell it at a similar affordable price, who will buy their premium motorcycles then? They need to differentiate their brands.
May be because dominor engine is a successful engine.. u know.. sometimes, the brand reaches a point where they have done their best for a 400cc or any cc.. if u see Honda IVTEC, instead of changing, they made sure all the customer reviews are addressed and after years, now IVTEC has reached the saturation point, u knownryt, the best refined engine.. same goes to the engine with the RE 650s have, well refined, no need of twerking at all.. similarly Bajaj also had DTSI which was well balanced untill BS4 when Fuel Injection became a mandate.. since then, after all the research and reviews, the 373cc is the saturation point of Bajaj. Yes it's shared with KTM but that's okay, that's their limit. Now the next big thing would be NS400 facelift next year of May be in 2026 when they will introduce NS400Z with the 399cc engine which Dukes have now.. so a Dominor and NS400 facelift in 2026 is most likely.. this one that we see today is just a mere stock clearance of the 373cc engines which were leftout for Dominor whose sales have dropped tremendously.. Just business..
@@ASKME2DAYyup just an economical decision for bajaj to make considering the dead stock of dominars😂
@ASKME2DAY damn you are knowledgeable
can u tell us why they haven't given it a radially mounted front brake caliper like the dominar ???
Good see the progress in Motor bike industry and would expect 750cc and 1000cc bikes from Bajaj it's time for change every automobile industry they had there own high capacity bikes that's how they made there name like Honda, susuki,yamaha
now that they have messed up with engine and design I hope that they at least deliver with RS400 design
@ 2:28 is the bike already leaking some liquid?
This is one pulsar I am tempted to test ride.😊
Its water its normal for a motorcycle it comes out from the exhaust
I would love to see a RS400 with a not so basic boxy swingarm.
Hey Autocar, RS400 is on cards if Im not wrong?
Any update on New Dominar from Bajaj team?
It would have much better if they updated with aluminium swing arm for this update...
The red looks the best because whatever design it has gets hidden with black colour
Finally indian motorcycle market is evolving. Hope this bike performs good and will be different from dominar
I need that Bike ASAP am from Kenya. Who is your Dealer in Kenya i place my ORDER ?
With those beefy tires, it looks rad ❤
The weight that the dominar should have always been .
We have got to thank Anand Bajaj for never backing down from making an Indian version of what a sports bike should be and he has finally got a pulsar family design.
Hope they have a nice RS version.
Waiting for the Adventure bike, NS400X maybe, based on this one. Hopefully with a 19 inch front wheel, higher ground clearance, longer wheelbase, tank capacity of 15 litres and a redesigned light.
Nice bro but we want 3 more updates from bajaj
1 aluminum swingarm
2 full tft display like rr310 & duke 390
3 all new tail light
Baaki sab bajaj ne bohut achha kiya he 👍
Quick shifter?
There's a leakage of oil while reving the motor 🙄 while checking the exhaust
Hahaha That's drops of water. Oil is much denser.
Digital console to analog and usd to normal would even reduce the price further
Fuel tank only 12 litres for a 400 cc bike?
Still better in practicality as compared to triumph 400s .. Console, ground clearance, Center stand, switch gear setup..better here.
Yes.but triumph speed has one thing.quality.@@adamspowerzone8712
They should not discontinue the design of 150, 220, rs and re launch 2001 design
What about old design complaints?
@@ananthkr18 its old but its good
Full fairing model ?????
Superb ❤❤❤
Cant wait this bike in the philippines!
I really wish they'd come with new swingarm and 150 section tyre
Did you just say the same chassis as the 200??? Tf
So did KTM, how does it matter?
I just want this engine in pulsar 220f chassis. Could someone pass the message to bajaj plz
For this price it's a value for money pruduct ❤
Waited eternity for this ❤
Rear sprocket is going to be the same I hear. The ones one the stage were 1 tooth larger so as to enable them to do the stunts on stage...
This white and red looks really nice
1letter how much kelimeter bike will run
I've completed my class12th and now i am moving to college . I am very much confused right now which bike should i choose between the dom400 and ns400z plzzz help ke out brothers ❤❤
What about CNG DualChannel ABS NS160 ?
Don't worry there is a updated dominar is coming soon with new duke engine 💯stay tune guys
I will be missing the analaog rev counter though
According to my knowledge radial and non radial tyres should not be mixed together since it can cause stability issues
I'm using them like that in ns200, 150 in the back and 110 in the front, handling is so much better now
What are you talking about? Bro R15 and mt15 also uses radial tyre in the back and has a non radial at the front, but those bikes don't have any stability issues 🤔
To hell with riding modes.... You have ride-by-wire. Equip it with cruise control!
I think they will bring the adventure variant of this with fairing up front... May be that is why this name differentiation....
that would help as there are not many advs under 3 lac on road.
I would love to see fuel indicator in percentage.. Anyways waiting for the full review
Liquid cooled?
Pricing is really good but this comes at the cost of a bike that was originally designed 10 years ago. Changes at headlight & forks does look when viewed from head-on but sides & rear still reminds of 10 year old NS200.
To put more salt the KTM sister bike had 3 whole generation changes while NS200 still stuck with that same gen1 designed, which now NS400 gets.
Those who on budget or value conscious will definitely be attracted to this, but to me this is still a 10 year old outdated design to the core.
PS: the should have changed the box swingarm with cast ones, would have made the rear part look fresher.
Everything is fine, but what's leaking under the engine?
Is it 20kg less or 13kg than Dominor?? Kindly confirm the same.
And per litre mileage of NS 400 in City??
19 kg less
373 CC 😥So the unsold old Duke 390 Engines are now NS400 and the New 399 CC engine would go with Dominar I guess. Then I would wait for Dominar. Swing Arm though is the attention grabber in the negative perspective. But the Prcing is lit 🔥unarguably worth the price regardless of all the flaws. I love it!
Was expecting the 398cc from the trump 400, also seems like they didn’t pay the designers for the rear end, a hint of lightning in the rear end would have been a nice touch. If we remember Bajaj was making fun of TVs for riding modes in apache, now they have added it to their biggest pulsar! Samsung Apple thing going on with Bajaj!!!
I get it , budget friendly and vfm but irrespective of price a bike should look pleasing and attractive in my opinion !
Seems like Bajaj designers are on vacation and working on a zoom call! Get the NS Design add Dominar engine, minor cosmetics and boom 💥 so called new bike!
Will you spend 2.5 to 2.9L on Bajaj bikes?
"hi5 namaste" nice video buddy:-*
White colour looks 👍
The headlight is inspired by SPAWN'S cowl from DC.
12 litre tank is low
Why they are sticked into same alloy designs. Pls upgrade it too..
Looks good enough
What unique same design from last soo many years what new why you all soon happy
A lightweight dominar??
Do they give this in EXCHANGE to my NS200
2:27 is that engine oil or water......????
Bajaj is killing the competition now we are gonna see a lot of 400s in the roads!!
Can you tell me when the tubeless version of Himalayan will be available?????
The eye sore is the box section swingarm. I mean c'mon, Bajaj, this is supposed to be one of your premium workhorses. If not aluminium, atleast the design could have been a little more pleasing to the eye.
Bajaj has disturbed the market with the launch pricing...hope for a healthy competion and good VFM products...
Moving the headlight a bit lower and a different tank shrouds would have made this bike look way better. Now it just looks like a beefy ns200. Anyways great pricing.
Waiting For RS400❤
loved the video! Rishabh delivers quality as always! Couldn't help but notice it kinda looks like he's peed his pants tho for some reason, couldn't unsee after I realised it lmao xD
Its already leaking,, its definitely a NS😂
Dude I'm really counting on you for this one and than make a purchase decision.
what about mileage
Swing arm looks off
Domino's swing arm would have been great
Bajaj should have been the one to realize that the Novelty Factor is one big reason that help Big bikes in sales. That Design is so Outdated and the bike looks so similar to any other Pulsar that there's almost no appeal to this! I can'y believe this is the same company that is driving the Bike Market nuts with KTM and Triumph
Looks faaaar better than the spy shots 🔥 insane value for money!
the bikes leaking fluids??
what's that puddle under the bike?
condensation.
This is really going to be a game changer. The cheapest 400 cc 40 hp bike.
The headlight assembly is copy of Duke1390
