Bajaj Avenger 400 – Sabaki ko behaal, here’s what to expect Bajaj Auto is in plans to set a new bench mark in the Indian cruiser bike space with its association with the Bajaj Avenger 400. BUILT ON THE LEGACY Inspired by the Avenger series of timepieces, the Avenger Blackbird Strap strikes the perfect balance between the recognizable Avenger design and Breitling’s goal to create a product of timeless elegance and superb performance at an affordable price.
Powerful Cruiser Design
The Avenger 400 continues the tradition of the low-slung cruiser that riders have grown to love so much through out the years. Its long stretched wheelbase, wide handlebars with a easy seating position offer an incomparable riding comfort over long distance. The newly updated version has been designed for heavy looks with a chiseled 15-liter fuel tank, LED headlamp with DRLs, alloy wheels and a blacked-out engine theme that gives it a bold and premium look.
This makes it a hit with young and old rider alike, because not only does it offer a blend of old school cruiser looks with contemporary detailing, it also comes at a rock bottom price.
Engine and Performance
Powering the Bajaj Avenger 400 is the same 373cc single-cylinder, liquid-cooled motor—derived from the Dominar 400—that you would find at the heart of it. This engine pumps out almost 40 PS of power and 35 Nm of torque, enough to provide the bike enough grunt for your highway thrill seeking as well as city pottering. The engine is teamed up with a 6-speed gearbox offering a slipper clutch and thus providing easy gear shifts.
A more refined throttle response combined with an even, linear and smooth acceleration ensures an engine that is versatile and reliable while improving rider comfort.
Ride Quality and Comfort
Although it is a real blue cruiser, the Avenger 400 is for rider comfort. It gets telescopic front forks and twin gas charged rear shock absorbers to offer a pliant ride on highways and bad roads in the city. The height from the ground is 720 mm so it is easy for anyone to swing a leg over.
Comfortable riding position with forward-set foot pegs and wide handlebar that promotes comfortable handling and controls fatigue on long rides. The super-robust, powerful design with a larger fuel tank and exceptional suspension makes this high-flying traveller a purposeful machine engineered to go the distance in comfort.
Technology and Features
To keep up with the times, the Avenger 400 comes with several new-age components from Bajaj. It’s got a fully digital instrument cluster that displays vital info like speed, gear position, fuel and trip meters and a clock. Certain models also have smartphone connectivity for turn-by-turn navigation, call alerts and other smart features.
Mileage and Practicality
Not only does it have a lot of oomph, but the Avenger 400 is also said to have a good enough fuel efficiency too (estimated to be between 30—35 km/l). Add to that the motorcycle’s 15-litre fuel tank and you’ve got yourself a PRACTICAL range of 450 kilometers+ miles on a single tank of fuel – perfect for bike trips. Given that Bajaj has a wide service network all throughout India; service should be affordable. This bike offers a combination of performance and economy for everyday riding and weekend trips.
Price and Competition
The Avenger 400 is tipped to be priced between ₹1.85 lakh to ₹2.10 lakh (ex-showroom) at the time of launch. It will be up against the likes of the Royal Enfield Classic 350, Jawa 42 Bobber and the Honda CB350 in its price range.
Having said that, with its better engine and modern features in addition to the traditional cruiser comfort, the Avenger 400 might still find a spot for itself in the country.
Final Verdict
The Indian bike world takes a new turn with the Bajaj Avenger 400. It provides comfortable real cruiser experience, both classic riding experience and also modern features, including a potently powerful 45 degree V-twin, the largest in the world. Whether you’re a city commuter, weekend warrior or long-distance cruiser, the Avenger 400 is looking like it could be a serious rival in the 2025 motorcycle market.
If you’re looking to move up from your existing motorcycle or purchase your very first cruiser, the Bajaj Avenger 400 should be somewhere on your shortlist.
