Bajaj Auto has quietly removed the Non-ABS variant of its flagship motorcycle, the Dominar 400, from its official website. This variant was previously listed as the Dominar 400 STD and, except the lack of an anti-lock braking system (ABS), was exactly similar to the higher priced Dominar 400 ABS variant. It was priced at Rs. 1.42 lakh as compared to the price tag of Rs. 1.63 lakh for the ABS model (all prices are ex-showroom, Delhi).
It is worth noting that customers have shown a clear inclination towards the ABS version of the Dominar in the past. The minor price difference between the two variants was totally justified by the security net of a dual-channel ABS. As a result, sales of the Dominar 400 ABS were much higher than the STD model. Additionally, with upcoming government regulations, all motorcycles with an engine capacity of more than 125cc will have to come with ABS as standard from April 2019. As a result, the vanishing of the Dominar 400 STD variant from the company website appears to be the model’s discontinuation from the Dominar lineup.
Bajaj is also working on a mid-life update for the Dominar 400, with test mules of the updated version already being spotted multiple times. This new version is expected to get USD (up-side down) forks at the front, a new belly pan, and a DOHC (dual overhead camshaft) engine configuration. This new version of the Dominar is likely to be launched by early 2019.
