New Bajaj Dominar vs Old: Same price for more tech


The 2025 Dominar 400 gets new tech features, here’s how they enhance the bike compared to the previous model.

Bajaj has launched the 2025 iteration of the Dominar 400 and while it may look exactly the same as before, here are the differences between the updated Dominar and the outgoing model. 

New Bajaj Dominar vs Old Bajaj Dominar: dash

The Dominar has always featured an LCD speedometer with a dual-display setup — a primary speedo paired with a smaller secondary screen for tell-tale lights. This configuration was reminiscent of the Ducati Diavel, much like the bike’s overall design. However, one persistent gripe was the placement of the secondary display, which sat outside the rider’s direct line of sight, reducing its practicality.

With the latest update, Bajaj has addressed this by moving to a more conventional single-display layout. The new bonded colour LCD dash — which first debuted on the Pulsar NS400Z — now takes centre stage on the Dominar.

It features a horizontal rev counter, and the right third of the display houses a dot-matrix section that lets riders cycle through various menus. The tell-tale lights have been repositioned above the rev counter, improving visibility and streamlining the cockpit layout.

Sitting atop the speedometer is a small panel that is present to reduce glare, while adding a bit of weather resistance

New Bajaj Dominar vs Old Bajaj Dominar: riding modes

The earlier model lacked ride-by-wire, but the 2025 Dominar now features it, replacing the traditional cable-actuated throttle. This upgrade enables multiple riding modes — Road, Rain, Sport, and Off-road — which alters both ABS intervention and throttle response.

New Bajaj Dominar vs Old Bajaj Dominar: handlebar and GPS mount

The handlebar has been redesigned for enhanced and relaxed ergonomics and long-distance comfort, claims Bajaj. It remains to be determined as to how much of a difference has it made as compared to the outgoing model which was already a comfortable mile muncher.

In addition to this, it now also gets a carrier with GPS mount to dock an aftermarket GPS unit.
