  • Selecting between the Bajaj Dominar 400 and KTM 390 Adventure would depend on certain factors such as your budget, brand preference, usage of the bike, features required, etc. The 390 Adventure is a nice bike, but it’s not the nicest of its kind KTM could have built us.

Moreover, Bajaj has launched the 2021 Dominar 400 in India. The new Bajaj Dominar 400 gets a host of touring accessories standard from the factory as part of the update.

  • If u are an enthusiastic rider and wants to feel the power and dominate the roads, then you should definitely go the dominar, it has a better power delivery, slipper clutch, dual channel abs and it's instrument console is packed with a lot of information.Where as if u are interested in vintage bikes and you prefer slow calm rides, then go for the Java.Personally, I prefer Dominar, I'm using it since 4 months and I'm fully satisfied with the bike performance
Q. Which one is the best Bajaj Dominar 400, Himalayan, Classic 350 and MT-15 Version 2.0?
  • All the bikes are best in their own forte. The Bajaj Dominar 400 BS6 makes for a great urban motorcycle, as well as packing in the performance and comfort to make occasional touring a breeze. On the other hand, Royal Enfield Himalayan Motor has (nearly) retained its output and feels just as quick, despite meeting BS6. Certain components look and feel more rugged and premium. Truckloads of suspension travel and ground clearance, as always. and Royal Enfield Classic 350 revised ergonomics make it more comfortable. The new chassis makes it easier to ride in traffic. The bike feels a lot more refined now. Moreover, The updates to the Yamaha MT-15 V2 have definitely improved its handling but the lack of dual-channel ABS and bottom-end performance, coupled with the high asking price make it a pricey proposition. For a better understanding, we would suggest you to take a test ride before making the final decision. Follow the link and select your desired city for dealership details.
