Bajaj Avenger 400 : Bajaj has once again captured the attention of Indian riders with the launch of the Avenger 400, a cruiser that combines raw power with unmatched comfort. Designed for both city commutes and long highway rides, this bike promises an exhilarating experience without compromising on practicality. What’s even more impressive is its competitive pricing, making it an attractive option in the 400cc segment.
A Bold and Muscular Design
The 2025 Avenger 400 sports a complete design overhaul while retaining its classic cruiser DNA. Its long wheelbase, low-slung seat, and wide handlebars ensure a relaxed riding posture, perfect for long journeys. The bike’s muscular stance is accentuated by a sculpted fuel tank, matte-finish paint schemes, and premium chrome accents.
Modern touches like an LED headlamp with DRLs, sleek turn indicators, and sporty alloy wheels give it a contemporary edge. The rear features a redesigned LED taillight and fender, enhancing its road presence. Whether parked or on the move, the Avenger 400 exudes confidence and style.
Powerful Performance with Dominar’s Heart
Beneath it all the rough and tough ‘touring’ looks lurks a 373cc single-cylinder liquid-cooled borrowed from the Dominar 400. This engine, famed for its roll-on power and satisfying low-end torque, delivers a cruiser character with a refined, modern feel.
A healthy dose of low-end torque makes the Avenger 400 a delight to ride in town and with 40 PS and 35 Nm on tap, even if you do stretch its legs on the highway, it becomes quite easy. A slipper clutch makes for smooth downshifts while the 6-speed gearbox helps keep the revs in check (the bike redlines at around 9,900rpm) with a cruizier rather than track focused tune (note the mild power numbers) that’s more in line with distance travel than high speed, high performance runs.
Ergonomics Built for Comfort
Bajaj is focusing on rider comfort with a cushy, low seat, forward foot pegs and a relaxed riding position. Solo or with a passenger, the big seat and optional backrest make sure that you’ll never want to go home.
It gets telescopic front forks and a dual shock absorber setup at the rear, both of which are set up for Indian road conditions. Potholed city streets and smooth highways alike can be navigated with ease, as the Avenger 400 provides a plush ride.
Modern Features for the Tech-Savvy Rider
Even though the Avenger 400 oozes retro from its every pore, it is filled to the brim with technology. A fully digital instrument cluster provides riders with critical information such as a speedometer, tachometer, fuel level, odometer, trip meter, gear position and more. Upper trims may even feature Bluetooth and turn-by-turn navigation.
Additional conveniences include:
- Dual-channel ABS for enhanced braking safety
- LED lighting for better visibility
- USB charging port for on-the-go device power
- Engine kill switch for added security
Fuel Efficiency and Practicality
With that kind of strong performance, Bajaj has tuned the Avenger 400 for 30-35 kmpl of fuel mileage, so you can ride it every day and also take her out for longer rides. A 13-litre tank reduces refuelling stops on long hauls, adding even more to its touring cred.
Safety and Build Quality
Safety is paramount with 300mm front and 230mm rear disc brakes with dual-channel ABS. The broad tires and low seating position offer stability well suited for wet or uneven places.
Constructed with high quality materials, the Avenger 400 is durable enough to withstand daily use and maintain the high-end look.
Competitive Pricing for Maximum Value
What’s Even More Shocking is its price tag of ₹2.25 lakh (ex-showroom), making it one of the most affordable cruising products in its segment. And with such competitive pricing, it just about anyone can afford one, from the commuter to the cross-country tourer.
Final Verdict
The Bajaj Avenger 400 is a competent sailor, with the never-nervousness from the motor and some gripping of the road which it does very well at. If you are a commuter or simply like exploring trails on the weekend, this bike gives you a lot for your hard-earned cash.
Benefit is a – stylish, efficient cruiser with enough power the Avenger 400 is definitely worth taking for a test ride. And Bajaj has done it yet again, showing us that premium cruising does not have to be expensive at all.
