Bajaj has once again taken a bold step in India’s cruiser motorcycle market. The Bajaj Avenger 400 is here, and it brings everything you’d expect from a mid-range cruiser—power, comfort, styling, and great highway performance. This new model takes inspiration from the well-known Avenger series but ups the game with a powerful 373cc engine, advanced features, and a robust design meant for serious riders.
Let’s break down why the Bajaj Avenger 400 could be a game-changer for Indian motorcyclists in 2025.
Big Cruiser Feel with Classic Styling
The Avenger 400 carries forward Bajaj’s traditional cruiser look but adds a stronger presence on the road. It features a long wheelbase, a low-slung profile, and a chiseled 15-litre fuel tank that adds to its muscular identity. The front end is updated with a new LED headlamp, stylish DRLs, and blacked-out engine components that give it a fresh and premium finish.
It rolls on alloy wheels and continues with the wide handlebar and forward-set foot pegs that riders love for relaxed, long-distance touring. Whether you’re heading out for a highway trip or city cruise, this design ensures comfort and attention on the road.
373cc Engine for Smooth and Strong Power
At the heart of the Bajaj Avenger 400 is the proven 373cc single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine sourced from the Dominar 400. It delivers close to 40 PS of power and 35 Nm of torque, providing enough punch for effortless cruising at highway speeds and smooth riding through city traffic.
The engine comes mated to a 6-speed gearbox with a slipper clutch, ensuring smooth and precise gear shifts. The throttle response is linear and refined, making it ideal for both new riders and experienced tourers. This engine setup also contributes to better mileage, reduced vibrations, and a more versatile performance range.
Built for Indian Roads and Real Comfort
The Avenger 400 has been engineered with rider comfort as a priority. It uses telescopic forks at the front and twin gas-charged shock absorbers at the rear, giving it the ability to tackle bad roads and highway potholes with ease. The low seat height of 720 mm makes it easy for all heights to handle the bike confidently.
The combination of a soft seat, upright posture, and wide handlebar helps reduce rider fatigue, especially during long rides. Bajaj has paid close attention to real-world comfort, which gives the Avenger 400 an edge for both city use and weekend getaways.
Smart Features for Modern Riders
Bajaj knows today’s bikers want more than just classic looks. The Avenger 400 is packed with features that bring it into the modern age. It comes with a fully digital instrument cluster showing:
- Speed
- Gear position
- Fuel level
- Trip meters
- Clock
Some higher variants also offer smartphone connectivity, allowing for turn-by-turn navigation, call alerts, and basic notifications right on the digital display.
Mileage and Long-Distance Practicality
While cruisers are often known more for comfort than fuel efficiency, Bajaj has balanced both well here. The estimated mileage is between 30 to 35 km/l, depending on riding conditions. Combined with the 15-litre fuel tank, the Avenger 400 can deliver a range of over 450 km on a full tank.
This makes it an ideal bike for long-distance touring without frequent fuel stops. Plus, Bajaj’s wide dealership and service network across India ensures peace of mind even on remote rides.
Competitive Price in a Hot Segment
The Bajaj Avenger 400 is expected to launch with a starting price of ₹1.85 lakh, going up to ₹2.10 lakh (ex-showroom) depending on the variant. This places it directly against competitors like:
- Royal Enfield Classic 350
- Jawa 42 Bobber
- Honda CB350
What sets the Avenger 400 apart is its combination of modern engine performance, digital tech, and real cruiser DNA, all at a competitive price point.
Who Should Buy the Avenger 400?
This bike is made for:
- Daily commuters who want a powerful yet comfortable machine
- Weekend riders looking for a highway-ready cruiser
- Touring enthusiasts in search of a fuel-efficient bike with long-range capacity
- Young bikers entering the mid-range segment with a taste for style and speed
With its easy riding stance and reliable engine, the Avenger 400 appeals to a wide range of riders looking to upgrade.
Final Words
The Bajaj Avenger 400 isn’t just a cosmetic update. It represents a serious attempt by Bajaj to capture the growing demand for mid-range cruisers in India. With a mix of bold design, dependable performance, comfort-focused suspension, and modern features, the Avenger 400 is ready to give tough competition in 2025.
Whether you’re new to cruisers or looking to move up from a smaller bike, this model deserves a close look. Keep an eye on Bajaj dealerships for the official launch and test ride schedules, because this could be one of the most important cruiser launches of the year.
