New 2025 Bajaj Dominar 400 and 250 Lineup.
Let us tell you that both the 2025 Bajaj Dominar 400 and 250 have been launched in the Indian market with updated versions. The aim of both these motorcycles is to give a touring-focused riding experience, without any compromise.
The Dominar 400 is priced at ₹2.38 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi), while the smaller sibling Dominar 250 is priced at ₹1.91 lakh. These new updates don’t offer performance upgrades, but do take usability and comfort to a new level, especially for long-distance tourers.
Dominar 400: Most Important Updates.
The 2025 Dominar 400 gets some major feature upgrades that help make this bike a complete “Born to Sprint, Built to Tour” machine.
Ride-By-Wire Throttle With 4 Riding Modes.
The biggest change is the inclusion of a ride-by-wire system through the electronic throttle body. With this new setup, you get 4 ride modes:
- Road – Balanced for everyday use.
- Rain – Smooth power delivery on wet surfaces.
- Sport – Aggressive throttle for spirited rides.
- Off-Road – Controlled response for rough terrains.
These modes can be toggled via the newly integrated switchgear, which is tactile and user-friendly.
New Bonded Glass LCD Meter.
The 2025 Dominar 400 also gets a new bonded glass colour LCD. This display is not just futuristic; it also has a protective flap over it, which improves visibility even in tough weather conditions. Bajaj has focused very well on both durability and clarity this time, so that riders get correct readings in all conditions.
Ergonomic Handlebar and Rear Carrier With GPS Mount.
Wrist fatigue is a major issue in long rides. Bajaj has given ergonomically redesigned handlebars this time, which provide better comfort and long-haul ride stability. Apart from this, an integrated GPS mount is also available on the rear carrier, especially for those riders who prefer dedicated GPS systems over mobile-based navigation. These add-ons make this bike a practical tourer – ready for the highway as soon as you leave the showroom.
Dominar 250: Small Displacement, Big Touring Potential.
The Dominar 250 has not received any engine updates, but it still gets a lot of new features that are sure to attract mid-range tourers.
Mechanical Throttle With 4 ABS-Enabled Modes.
The Dominar 250 now offers 4 riding modes, but not via ride-by-wire, but via a mechanical throttle body. The modes are ABS-enabled, which enhances braking performance for different road conditions.
Same Touring Accessories As Big Brother.
The Dominar 250 also now comes with factory-fitted touring accessories, including features like a GPS mount, new handlebars, and advanced switchgear. Bajaj has tried to make this 250cc variant a serious tourer at a more accessible price.

Touring Legacy: From Odysseys to Upgrades.
Bajaj has made every effort to make the Dominar not just a machine, but an experience platform.
