Will the cannibalization of the Bajaj Dominar 400 sales happen by Bajaj Pulsar RS400?

I believe it would be beneficial for Dominar sales. Bajaj’s RS400 could help the brand get more attention for its 400cc range in general and some who come in to see the RS400 could opt for the more comfortable Dominar.

That’s what I’m more worried about, because I think this will adversely impact Bajaj’s relationship with KTM. Thus, the RC 390 could end up competing against the RS400. I think that’ll be interesting, to see how they deal with that potential conflict.

Could it be that Bajaj is planning to phase out the Dominar and replacing it with the RS400? It could be a way to give a fresh approach to their 400cc lineup without having to admit the Dominar didn't perform as well as they had expected.

I believe that price is the bottom line. If they price the RS400 much higher than the Dominar, it could provide enough distance to avoid direct competition. However, if they are close enough in price, it may cause a problem.

No way. In terms of build quality and refinement, the RC 390 is on a different league. KTM's level is not yet where Bajaj is improving.

It doesn’t need to be better than the RC 390 to succeed. The RS400 could be a winner for a lot of riders who want a sporty bike but cannot justify the KTM’s price tag, if the RS400 can provide 80% of the performance at 70% of the price.

The actual question is, would Bajaj be allowed to cut into KTM’s market share. This partnership may restrict how close the RS400 can come to the RC 390’s performance.

I think the RS400 could in fact be a better every day riding bike. Bajaj might strike a better balance between performance and comfort than KTMs are known to be.

There will be a big hurdle to overcome when it comes to brand perception. If the RS400 is as good as the RC 390, then there will always be people who will treat it as just a Pulsar and not a premium bike.

It's not just about performance. The RC 390 has a good racing pedigree and there is aftermarket support. If Bajaj really wants to compete, they will need to build an ecosystem around the RS400.
Is the Bajaj Pulsar RS400 worth the hype?
31 January 2025 10:34
To be honest, I believe the hype is deserved. If Bajaj has been killing it with its Pulsar line, then, the RS400 seems like the next logical step. The smaller Pulsars have delivered the same performance and value, so if they can do the same here, it could be a winner.
Is the Bajaj Pulsar RS400 worth the hype?
31 January 2025 10:34
I'm skeptical. At the lower end, Bajaj is great but at 400cc it is a big jump. They will be up against some serious players and I don't know if they have the expertise to match the refinement of bikes like KTM RC 390.
Is the Bajaj Pulsar RS400 worth the hype?
31 January 2025 10:34
That really depends on the price point. The magic will be if Bajaj can undercut the competition significantly, while offering similar performance. However, if it is priced too near to other established brands in the market, it may not have a place.
Is the Bajaj Pulsar RS400 worth the hype?
31 January 2025 10:34
I think people are overhyping it, they want to lay the baby with the bathwater. It's a nice bike, sure, but I have my doubts that it will be the revolutionary machine people are expecting. As a relative newcomer to the big bike game, Bajaj have no doubt got some teething issues.
Is the Bajaj Pulsar RS400 worth the hype?
31 January 2025 10:34
I’m a Pulsar fan and love the RS400. Bajaj has always given great value and I think they have learned a lot from their tie up with KTM. It would be an awesome bike at a killer price if they can bring some of that knowledge to the RS400.
Is the Bajaj Pulsar RS400 worth the hype?
31 January 2025 10:34
We should not forget that Bajaj has been consistently improving their build quality and refinement. It is the RS400 that could give them the chance to prove they can compete with the big boys. I'm cautiously optimistic.
Is the Bajaj Pulsar RS400 worth the hype?
31 January 2025 10:34
The question is whether it can find its own niche. It must be unique and different from the budget options and the premium brands. That hype will be justified if Bajaj nails that balance.
Does the Pulsar RS125 suit for longer rides and touring as it is comfortable to ride?
31 January 2025 10:18
I’ve done a few 300km day trips on my RS125 and have found it comfortable enough. The seat is ok for a sport bike and the fairing gives decent wind protection.
Does the Pulsar RS125 suit for longer rides and touring as it is comfortable to ride?
31 January 2025 10:18
There is no way I would tour on this bike. An hour or so in the aggressive riding position gets uncomfortable. This is really more for short rides and commutes.

It's all about expectations. It is reasonably comfortable for a 125cc sport bike. If you’re used to bigger touring bikes you will surely feel its limitations.
