Bajaj Auto has given its loyal cruiser fans a big surprise with the launch of the all-new Bajaj Avenger 400X. This new bike takes the Avenger family to a whole new level with more power, better styling and smart features. If you always wanted a cruiser that has the comfort of a classic bike and the thrill of a street machine, the Avenger 400X could be just the ride you have been waiting for.
Muscular Cruiser Look with Modern Styling
The Avenger 400X keeps the traditional low-slung cruiser look but makes it fresher with some bold design updates. The fuel tank has a new shape that adds more muscle to the side profile. You get sharp LED DRLs up front that make the face aggressive and more visible on roads. The full digital instrument cluster is another modern touch that brings the bike in line with today’s tech-savvy riders.
The bike comes in dual-tone colour options which look premium and sporty at the same time. The wide handlebar and forward-set footpegs mean you can stretch your legs and enjoy a relaxed riding posture even on long rides. The seat is split and well-cushioned, while the backrest for the pillion ensures comfort for your riding partner too.
Engine Made for Smooth Highways
The biggest upgrade is under the tank. The Avenger 400X borrows its 373cc liquid-cooled, single-cylinder engine from the Dominar 400. This means you get close to 40 PS of raw power and 35 Nm of torque. Paired with a smooth 6-speed gearbox and slipper clutch, the bike gives you quick pickup for city overtakes and stable highway cruising without vibrations.
This refined powerplant is what makes the 400X stand out in the mid-size cruiser segment. The engine is tuned for balanced power so whether you are cruising at 80 km/h on a highway or stuck in city traffic, the bike never feels underpowered or jerky.
Built to Soak Up Bumps
A cruiser bike is nothing if it cannot handle bad roads comfortably. The Avenger 400X comes with telescopic forks at the front and twin shock absorbers at the rear. This setup soaks up potholes and rough patches nicely, giving you a smooth ride even when the road gets worse.
The bike rolls on 17-inch alloy wheels wrapped with wide tyres which offer better grip on curves and straights alike. You feel stable while cornering or cruising at higher speeds.
Braking and Safety on Point
Safety is a key highlight on the Avenger 400X. It gets disc brakes on both front and rear wheels along with a dual-channel ABS system. So, whether you brake hard on a wet road or sudden stop at high speed, the bike stays planted and in control.
The brakes are responsive and confidence-inspiring for both new and experienced riders. Bajaj has done a good job of keeping the cruiser feel but adding modern braking tech to make it safer.
Smart Features for Smart Riders
Today’s riders want their bikes to be smart too. The Avenger 400X ticks this box with its fully digital instrument console that shows speed, gear position, fuel level and trip details in one place. A USB charging port comes standard so you can keep your phone juiced up on the go.
The LED headlamp and tail lamp add more style and better night visibility. All these small but useful touches make the bike ready for daily use as well as long trips.
Practical Cruiser for Long Trips
Comfort is where the Avenger 400X shines bright. The wide and split seat gives both rider and pillion enough space to relax. The pillion backrest is a big plus for longer rides. The riding stance keeps your arms and shoulders stress-free which means less fatigue even after riding for hours.
Whether you plan to ride solo or take your partner along, the 400X can easily handle the luggage and extra weight without losing balance or power.
Good Value for Money
Bajaj knows its Indian audience well. That’s why the Avenger 400X is priced smartly between ₹2.30 to ₹2.50 lakh (ex-showroom). At this price, you get the same powerful engine found in the Dominar 400 but with cruiser styling. When compared to bigger cruisers like the Royal Enfield Meteor 350 or Honda H’ness CB350, the Avenger 400X offers more power at a lesser price.
This makes it a strong option for riders who want a stylish cruiser with big-bike feel but do not want to stretch their budget too far.
Final Thoughts
With the Avenger 400X, Bajaj has shown again that they understand what Indian bikers want. This bike is for those who love relaxed highway rides but still want enough punch for city fun. Its bold design, refined power, useful features and practical pricing make it a cruiser that ticks all boxes.
If you have been thinking of upgrading from a 150cc or 200cc bike but want to stay under ₹2.5 lakh, the Avenger 400X deserves a place on your shortlist. It is built for India’s long highways and tight city streets alike. Whether you ride to office daily or take weekend trips with your friends, the new Avenger 400X is ready to roll whenever you are.
