Bajaj Auto is ready to heat up India’s cruiser motorcycle market with the launch of the Bajaj Avenger 400 2025. The latest addition to the Avenger lineup promises a perfect mix of rugged styling, highway comfort, and powerful performance—all at a price that keeps it within reach of everyday riders.
Expected to launch in early 2025, the Avenger 400 is priced between ₹1.50 lakh and ₹2.50 lakh (ex-showroom), making it an attractive choice for those who want a stylish yet budget-friendly cruiser. With its 373cc engine borrowed from the Dominar 400, it is set to compete with bikes like the Royal Enfield Meteor 350, Kawasaki Eliminator, and Keeway V302C.
Rugged and Relaxed Cruiser Design
The Avenger 400 carries forward the low-slung cruiser frame the series is known for but adds a dose of modern styling. Expect chrome accents, a strong front disc brake, and a stretched cruiser stance built for long journeys.
Measuring 2260 mm in length, 810 mm in width, and 1148 mm in height, with a 1490 mm wheelbase, the bike offers stability on highways while remaining manageable in city traffic. It weighs about 180–195 kg and provides 169 mm ground clearance, enough for Indian roads.
Riders will get 17-inch front and 15-inch rear alloy wheels with tubeless tyres, plus premium shades like Ebony Black and Voodoo Red. A two-up seat layout and optional pillion backrest ensure comfort, making it a practical cruiser for both solo rides and long two-up journeys.
Modern Display and Easy Controls
The Bajaj Avenger 400 is expected to feature a digital instrument cluster that shows speed, fuel levels, and connectivity options like Bluetooth for calls and navigation.
Its layout is simple and intuitive, allowing riders to focus on the road. LED lighting elements enhance visibility while optional add-ons like a windscreen and USB charging port make it tourer-friendly.
373cc Engine With Punchy Performance
At the core of the Avenger 400 is a 373cc liquid-cooled, single-cylinder engine tuned for both city riding and highway cruising. It produces 35 PS at 8000 rpm and 35 Nm torque at 6500 rpm, paired with a 6-speed gearbox.
The engine focuses on low-end torque delivery, making overtaking and long-distance cruising smooth. Riders can expect a mileage of 25–30 km/l, which translates to a range of 325–390 km on its 13-liter fuel tank.
Safety and Stability
Bajaj has equipped the Avenger 400 with essential safety features without pushing up costs. It comes with:
- Dual-channel ABS
- Front and rear disc brakes
- LED taillights for visibility
The chassis is tuned for straight-line stability and cornering confidence, ensuring safety on highways and city streets.
Long-Lasting Fuel and Comfort
With its 13-liter tank, the Avenger 400 can easily handle 1–2 days of mixed riding before refueling. This makes it suitable for both daily commutes and weekend getaways.
Ergonomic design, relaxed handlebars, and wide seating ensure comfort on long journeys, while optional accessories like a pillion backrest add to touring convenience. Running costs are estimated at just ₹4–₹5 per km, making it budget-friendly in the long run.
Pricing and Launch Timeline
The Bajaj Avenger 400 2025 is expected to be priced at ₹1.50 lakh for the base model and ₹2.50 lakh for the top variant (ex-showroom). On-road prices in Delhi may range between ₹1.70 lakh and ₹2.80 lakh after RTO and insurance costs.
Bajaj may also roll out launch offers like zero down payment and no-cost EMI options to make it more accessible. Maintenance costs are estimated at ₹3,000–₹5,000 per year, and a 2-year/30,000 km warranty will be included.
Early Feedback and Drawbacks
Initial buzz suggests that riders appreciate the comfortable ergonomics, solid torque delivery, and value pricing. Mileage figures of 25 km/l and 169 mm ground clearance also stand out.
However, some limitations include a top speed capped around 130 km/h, a slightly firm suspension on rough roads, and fewer advanced features compared to premium rivals.
Competitor Comparison
The Avenger 400 will take on:
- Royal Enfield Meteor 350, known for retro charm and wide fan following.
- Kawasaki Eliminator, which offers more speed but at a much higher cost.
- Keeway V302C, stylish but less accessible in terms of after-sales service.
The Avenger 400 wins on affordability, practicality, and Bajaj’s strong service network, though it may trail rivals in top-end performance and retro appeal.
Final Verdict: Should You Buy the Bajaj Avenger 400?
The Bajaj Avenger 400 2025 is shaping up to be one of the most exciting cruiser launches of the year. With its 373cc engine, premium cruiser styling, strong comfort, and 25 km/l efficiency, it offers big-bike vibes at an accessible price.
While it may not be the fastest or feature-rich option in the segment, it strikes a balance between performance, comfort, and affordability. For riders seeking a stylish city commuter that can double up as a weekend tourer, the Avenger 400 is a strong value-for-money proposition.
