The recently launched Bajaj Dominar 400 UG seems to be designed as an improvised version of the existing racing horses at Bajaj’s stable. The Bajaj 400 UG motorcycle, wherein the ‘UG’ stands for upgrade is certainly more competent than before. Let us have a sneak peek at the latest model.
A Robust Engine
Bajaj Dominar 400 UG has clarity for enhancing the comfort of the rider. It is perfect for an adventurous cruise through the highway. Nonetheless, its USP lies with the biker’s ease to ride on it. The vehicle gets distinct triple-spark quality due to the liquid-cooled 373.2-cc single-sourced from KTM. The latest version of the bike comes with a DOHC set-up. It produces up to 40 PS of power but however falls short of 3.5 PS of the total power that KTM 390 Duke turns out. The torque power produced by the engine remains unchanged, that is, it can still make 35 Nm which presently amounts to 7,000 rpm.
New ABS and Suspension
There are several other modifications too. One such instance is that of the 43-mm conventional fork which is based on the Duke. The front disc is 320-mm which is set on the bike’s left side and is also equipped with radial callipers. ABS of the new model is up-to-date abiding by the industry conventions. Therefore, the reasons for discarding the non-ABS variant is obvious. No changes have been introduced in the basic structure of the alloy wheel, but its colour is no longer golden.
Innovations in Design
No major change has been introduced in the general design of the model. However, the black parts have fairly well been utilized in the designing of the model which add an edge to the curves of the bike and gives it a trendy look, particularly in its Aurora green colour. Other parts of the bike which really attract the bikers are its innovative rear-view mirrors fixed to the split-design stalks which appear rather slick. The headlamp has been remodelled to give it a compact look. Even, the tail light LEDs gets slightly improvised.
Dual Barrel Exhaust System
You cannot afford to miss the matte black twin-barrel exhaust with a quality soundtrack which bestows a powerful riding experience. However, like all other conventional exhausts, the steep exhaust of the bike positioned in an upswept manner with outlet pipes facing in an upward direction will cause the unwanted moisture to seep in. This exhaust system like the other ones has a drainage facility which is actually an outlet for condensation of water formed within the exhaust system. In addition, this drainage machinery faces the constant trouble of getting chocked. The tailpipes are angled in a manner which causes the ejection of the exhaust stream straight on to other travellers who are trailing behind the Dominar.
The Other Features You Can Go Gaga Over
Several other modifications of the model add to the comfort of the biker in course of long rides, like comfortable cushioning of the seats and cool bungee straps below the rear seat for mounting the luggage. The wholly digitised instrument panel provides guidance on a flexible fuel economizing, trip time, range of fuel, and distance to service. Moreover, the bike possesses the secondary display which is installed on the fuel tank which also has the gear position. Taking a look at the display while riding is distracting too. To top it all, the model is equipped with back-lit switches, which completes the spic and span look with an impressive degree of built and quality.
