Bajaj Auto is preparing to take its cruiser game to the next level with the upcoming Bajaj Avenger 400. Slated for a 2025 release, this new model aims to offer the classic cruiser charm the Avenger name is known for, but with added power, premium upgrades, and modern tech that today’s riders expect. Whether for everyday city use or relaxed long-distance cruising, the Avenger 400 seems ready to strike a strong balance between comfort and performance.
A Familiar but Refined Cruiser Look
The design of the Avenger 400 stays true to the signature cruiser silhouette. A low-slung stance, stretched-out ergonomics, and long wheelbase are all present, offering a relaxed posture that touring riders will appreciate. The wider handlebar and forward-set foot pegs enhance comfort during extended highway rides, while chrome touches and LED lighting give the bike a more premium presence.
Expect subtle changes to the fuel tank design and side panels, while alloy wheels and wider tyres should improve both visual appeal and road grip. It’s a cruiser that still knows its identity, but now carries a stronger road presence that matches its larger engine.
More Muscle Under the Tank
At the heart of the Avenger 400 will likely be a 373cc, liquid-cooled engine borrowed and tuned from the Dominar series. This powerplant is known for its strong mid-range torque and smooth power delivery, making it suitable for both city riding and highway touring.
The engine is expected to be paired with a refined six-speed gearbox. With this setup, the Avenger 400 should offer quick throttle response in traffic, as well as relaxed cruising at higher speeds without stressing the motor. Performance will be a key selling point, especially for those looking to upgrade from smaller displacement cruisers.
Feature Upgrades with a Modern Touch
In line with today’s expectations, the Avenger 400 is likely to come equipped with a fully digital instrument cluster. Riders can expect Bluetooth connectivity, turn-by-turn navigation, call and message alerts, and ride data readouts through a companion app.
Safety is also being taken seriously. Dual-channel ABS is expected to be standard, along with disc brakes at both ends. The suspension setup telescopic forks at the front and twin shock absorbers at the rear has likely been tuned to absorb rough patches with ease, making the ride smoother on mixed terrain.
Built for Comfort and Distance
Comfort has always been central to the Avenger lineup, and the 400 version carries that forward. A cushioned split-seat setup, wide pillion seat, and relaxed geometry ensure a fatigue-free experience on longer rides. The low seat height will make the bike accessible to a wider range of riders, while the long wheelbase should help with stability on highways and winding roads alike.
The Avenger 400 is shaping up to be a cruiser that doesn’t just look the part, but also backs it up with real-world usability and touring practicality.
A Strong Value Cruiser for Indian Roads
Bajaj is expected to position the Avenger 400 in the ₹2 lakh to ₹2.3 lakh price range (ex-showroom). This would put it up against the likes of the Royal Enfield Meteor 350 and the Honda H’ness CB350, while offering more displacement and performance.
For riders who want a cruiser that feels premium, delivers relaxed power, and is ready for longer rides without crossing into high-end territory, the Avenger 400 could be a compelling new choice in the market.
Final Thoughts
With its blend of classic cruiser design, upgraded engine performance, and practical features, the Bajaj Avenger 400 2025 looks set to become a new favorite among Indian touring enthusiasts. It holds onto the spirit of the original Avenger series but brings enough new elements to appeal to a new generation of riders.
All eyes will be on Bajaj as the launch approaches, and if they get the pricing and ride dynamics right, the Avenger 400 might just redefine the budget cruiser category in India.
