Bajaj Auto is all set to introduce the higher capacity Bajaj Avenger 400 to the existing Avenger family. Renowned for its cruiser looks and great ride quality, the Avenger has been the choice of travelling lovers everywhere in India. With the new 400cc model, Bajaj wants to provide better power, higher end features, and day long riding comfort at a competitive price.
Design and Styling
Bajaj Avenger 400’s design will be based on the classic cruiser philosophy. It should retain the low-slung stance, wide handlebar and forward-set footpegs which make for a relaxed riding posture. The bike is likely to come with an increased fuel tank with sculpted lines, updated all-LED headlamps, and a fully-digital console.
Avenger 400 would come with beautiful color options supported with thrilling chrome and matte placed throughout its body, ensuring that it gets a welcoming vibration among Indian highways. The cruiser stance will be beefier compared to the Avenger 220, offering much better road presence than premium cruisers at a more affordable price range.
Engine and Performance
The major update in the Bajaj Avenger 400 will be its power plant. It would most likely employ a 373cc liquid-cooled motor as seen on the Dominar 400, albeit retuned for leisurely cruising and not outright performance.
The engine is expected to churn out about 35 PS of power and 35 Nm of torque, mated to a 6-speed gearbox with slipper clutch. This configuration will deliver a linear power output, which will allow the Avenger 400 to act as a good motorcycle for commuting in the city and for long highway cruising as well.
The riders can sense a cruisy speed of 90-120 km/h, sufficient twist to get over hills or to carry luggage over long distances!
Features and Technology
The 2025 Avenger 400 will include modern touches so it can still compete. The motorcycle could get an all-digital instrument console with Bluetooth interface, turn-by-turn navigation and call/SMS alerts. USB charging ports will be provided for increased usability on long rides.
Safety equipment like dual-channel ABS and disc brakes on either end will take care of braking while wider tyres will result in better stability. Suspension setup will also have telescopic forks upfront and twin shock absorbers at the rear tuned more for comfort for long-distance rides.
Mileage and Fuel Efficiency
While it may be a strong cruiser, the Bajaj Avenger 400 will still manage to deliver frugal fuel economy. The estimated mileage would be 30-35 km/l and that is extremely good for a 400cc bike. A large fuel tank of around 14–15 liters allows for long distances between fill-ups.
Price and Variants
One of Bajaj’s strong points is pricing and the Avenger 400 will be no different. The anticipated ex-showroom price will be in the range of ₹2 lakh to ₹2.2 lakh and that will make the model as an affordable offering in the 400cc cruiser segment in India.
The Pulsar 250 could be offered in two models by Bajaj, the Street version for urban riders and the Cruise version with touring-friendly equipment like a tall wind screen and backrest.
Competition and Market Position
Royal Enfield Meteor 350, Honda CB350 H’ness, Jawa 42 Bobber to get a new competition from Bajaj Avenger 400. But with strong 400cc engine and Bajaj’s aggressive pricing, it should have an edge among the riders who are looking for cruiser bike styling with better performance.
Final Verdict
The 400cc model of Bajaj Avenger is going to be a gamechanger in the cruiser market in India. Its advaencies engine, comfortable riding posture, updated technology and competitive pricing will attract young riders and long-distance tourers too.
