Bajaj Avenger 400: Bajaj Auto has officially lifted the curtain on the highly anticipated Avenger 400 — a muscular, next-generation cruiser that combines the classic Avenger DNA with a bigger engine, premium features, and enhanced ride comfort. Aimed at tourers and highway riders, the Avenger 400 is set to become the most powerful cruiser in its segment under ₹2 lakh.
Bigger Engine, More Power
At the heart of the Avenger 400 is a 373cc, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine — borrowed from the Dominar 400 — delivering:
- Around 40 PS of peak power
- 35 Nm torque
- 6-speed gearbox with slipper clutch
- Dual overhead camshaft (DOHC) architecture
This engine setup ensures refined highway cruising, smooth overtakes, and solid low-end torque for long-distance rides.
Aggressive Cruiser Styling
Staying true to its laid-back cruiser profile, the Avenger 400 gets:
- Low-slung frame with extended wheelbase
- LED headlamp with DRLs
- Sculpted tank and premium matte paint finish
- Alloy wheels and wider rear tyre
- Chrome and blacked-out exhaust (variant-specific)
The bike looks more premium and muscular compared to its 160cc sibling — with styling cues that rival bikes in higher segments.
Touring-Friendly Features
Built for comfort and distance, the Avenger 400 offers:
- Upright riding posture with forward-set footpegs
- Comfortable split seats with cushioned backrest for pillion
- Digital instrument cluster with gear indicator and range estimator
- USB mobile charging port
- Dual-channel ABS for safety
These features make it an ideal choice for long highway journeys, weekend trips, and everyday comfort rides.
Mileage & Ride Experience
Despite its bigger engine, the Avenger 400 delivers a respectable mileage of around 30–35 kmpl in real-world riding. Thanks to Bajaj’s refinement and lightweight frame tuning, the bike feels stable on highways and nimble enough in city traffic.
Price & Launch Timeline
The Bajaj Avenger 400 is expected to be priced between ₹1.95 lakh and ₹2.05 lakh (ex-showroom), making it one of the most affordable 400cc cruisers in India. It’s likely to be launched officially in late 2025, with deliveries expected to begin shortly after.
Conclusion
The Bajaj Avenger 400 is a long-awaited upgrade to the iconic cruiser lineup — now with more power, better features, and modern styling. For riders seeking highway comfort, aggressive styling, and reliable performance under ₹2 lakh, the Avenger 400 is set to become the go-to touring machine in India.
