The Indian cruiser bike market is about to heat up with Bajaj Auto reportedly gearing up to launch the much-anticipated Bajaj Avenger 400. Long dominated by Royal Enfield, the cruiser segment may soon see serious competition from Bajaj’s upcoming flagship. While there is no official confirmation from the company yet, leaked reports have offered glimpses into what could be a game-changing motorcycle.
Bajaj Avenger 400: Loaded with Smart Features
If the leaks are anything to go by, the Bajaj Avenger 400 will come packed with modern features aimed at enhancing rider comfort and safety. Here’s what to expect:
Dual disc brakes (front and rear)
Dual-channel ABS (Anti-lock Braking System)
Tubeless tires
Alloy wheels
Analog speedometer and instrument console
LED headlamp and turn indicators
USB charging port
These features not only bring the Avenger 400 up to modern standards but also align it with rider expectations in the mid-size cruiser segment.
Bajaj Avenger 400: Power and Performance
Under the hood, the Avenger 400 is rumored to be powered by a 398cc liquid-cooled engine, the same platform possibly shared with the Bajaj-Triumph collaboration or adapted from the Dominar 400. Here’s a look at the performance expectations:
Power output: 30 PS (approx.)
Torque: 35 Nm
Expected mileage: 35–40 km/l
This combination will likely make the Avenger 400 a smooth cruiser for long highway rides as well as a competent performer for daily city commuting.
Bajaj Avenger 400 Launch Timeline and Price in India
While Bajaj has yet to make an official announcement, industry insiders suggest that the Bajaj Avenger 400 could debut between April and August 2025. The expected ex-showroom price is around ₹3 lakh, positioning it as a direct competitor to Royal Enfield Meteor 350, Classic 350, and Honda H’ness CB350.
Should You Wait for the Bajaj Avenger 400?
For riders seeking a stylish cruiser with modern features, competitive pricing, and strong highway performance, the Bajaj Avenger 400 could be worth the wait. It brings together the nostalgic cruiser design of the Avenger family with performance that matches modern-day expectations.
If you’re considering a Royal Enfield but looking for a value-packed alternative, this upcoming release may just tick all the boxes.
