Bajaj Dominar 400 vs Triumph Speed 400 — Price Story After GST 2.0
The new GST 2.0 rates have shaken things up in the two-wheeler market. Bikes under 350cc got a little cheaper, but the 400cc segment had mixed results. Some brands hiked prices, others offered cuts, and a few—like Bajaj—decided to absorb the impact entirely.
Let’s break down how the Bajaj Dominar 400 and Triumph Speed 400 now compare post-GST 2.0.
Bajaj Dominar 400 Price Stays Steady
Bajaj Auto has chosen not to tinker with the Dominar 400’s price, even after the GST changes. The company absorbed the tax difference to keep the bike accessible and demand stable in the 400cc space.
The Bajaj Dominar 400 continues at ₹2.39 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi), the same as before. It’s available in two colours—Charcoal Black and Aurora Green—and now comes with improved ergonomics, new ride modes, and the LCD dash borrowed from the Pulsar NS400Z.
That’s a smart move from Bajaj—it keeps the Dominar positioned as a value-packed highway cruiser for riders who don’t want a steep jump in cost.

Triumph Speed 400 Gets a Price Cut
Meanwhile, Triumph has taken a more aggressive approach. With the GST revision, the Speed 400’s price has dropped by ₹16,797—a significant reduction that brings the ex-showroom tag down from ₹2.51 lakh to ₹2.34 lakh.
Interestingly, even after this cut, the current price is still a bit higher than its original launch price of ₹2.23 lakh. Still, at ₹2.34 lakh, it’s now around ₹5,000 cheaper than the Bajaj Dominar—making it a strong value proposition for riders looking for a balance of power and premium feel.
Engine and Performance Comparison
Both bikes are power-packed in their own ways, and the difference comes down to character rather than raw numbers.
- Triumph Speed 400: 399cc, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine producing 39.5 bhp at 8,000 rpm and 37.5 Nm of torque at 6,500 rpm.
- Bajaj Dominar 400: 373cc, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine delivering 40 bhp and 35 Nm of torque.
While the Dominar makes slightly more horsepower, the Speed 400 offers stronger torque, making it more responsive in city rides. The Triumph also benefits from lighter weight and refined British engineering, while the Dominar offers stability and long-distance comfort.

Which One Makes More Sense After GST 2.0?
At this point, the price gap between the two is just about ₹5,000—a small difference for bikes in the ₹2 lakh-plus segment.
If you want a touring-oriented, muscular bike with proven reliability, the Dominar 400 remains a solid pick. But if you’re after a smoother, lighter machine with a premium brand tag and modern performance, the Speed 400 now looks like the smarter buy after its price drop.
Either way, both models continue to deliver excellent value in the 400cc segment—each appealing to a slightly different kind of rider.
