The model started life as the Pulsar Cruiser Sport 400 (CS 400) at the 2014 Auto Expo and it was only this year that the company had a change of heart and decided to establish an all-new brand for its premium offering. It was then that the monikers - Vantage Sport 400 (VS 400), Kratos 400 and Dominar were speculated. With the new Bajaj Dominar 400, the home-grown bikemaker aims to set new benchmark in the Indian two-wheeler industry. The company targets to sell over 10,000 units of the Dominar on monthly basis. The ‘Dominar’ is a Spanish word which means domination or to rule. The Bajaj Dominar 400 is based on the Pulsar CS400 concept, which broke cover in 2014 at the Delhi Auto Expo. Carrying an unconventional design, this 400cc motorcycle is positioned between the cruiser and the naked streetfighter. Bajaj Dominar 400 Competition: As of now, the Bajaj Dominar 400 won’t have a direct competition in the market. However, this 400cc motorcycle will be positioned in the cruiser segment that is currently dominated by Royal Enfield. The bike will also affect sales of the Mahindra Mojo, KTM 200 Duke and Benelli TNT 25.
