Will the Bajaj Avenger 400 ever see the day?
The biking community has been buzzing with rumors and speculation about Bajaj teasing the idea of an Avenger 400 for years now. The current Avengers lineup is popular, but there really hasn't been much new in a long time. With the Dominar 400 engine doing so well for them, many enthusiasts have been waiting for Bajaj to offer a more powerful cruiser option. Nevertheless, the demand is there, and Bajaj seems to have the technical capability to launch an Avenger 400, but the company hasn't made any official announcements. That’s led to frustration among fans and potential buyers who see a gap in the market for a mid capacity cruiser at a competitive price point. The delay has also given time to Royal Enfield to gain strength in this segment.
I doubt it'll ever happen. Bajaj appears to be quite happy milking the current Avenger lineup without any significant investment. With the partnerships with KTM and Triumph, they are probably too busy to cover a new Avenger platform.
Never say never! The biking market in India is changing, and Bajaj could surprise us. The engine is Dominar’s, so it’s not that big of a leap to think they’ll finally let us have the Avenger 400 we’ve been fantasizing over.
I just think it’s a matter of time. The demand for mid capacity cruisers is growing and Bajaj can’t ignore it forever. They are probably working on it behind the scenes to make sure it is perfect before they launch.
Honestly, I've given up hope. We would have seen something by now, if they were serious about it. There have been years of rumors, nothing concrete. Now I’m looking at other options.
Perhaps they’re waiting for the right time. The success of bikes such as the RE Meteor may have Bajaj rethinking their game plan. When the market is just right, they could have an Avenger 400 as their ace in the hole.
I think they're in analysis paralysis. They know there’s a demand, but they’re probably overthinking it and worried about cannibalizing Dominar sales or not meeting the expectations.
At this point, the Avenger 400 is the bike equivalent of Half Life 3. We all want it, but it’s a running joke in the community. That's something I'll believe when I see it.
