Good comparison by Autocar. So the Dominar is for city + touring and the Himalayan is for off roading + touring. Himalayan needs a refresh and probably a price cut 😀
I actually had both of these bikes in mind when I thought of buying a bike. But I did not have time to do a lot of research. Then came autocar and Voila! All my doubts were cleared after watching this review. Thanks to Autocar now I can make an informed decision. 👏👏👏👏👏👏

Nice review Autocar.........having tested both the bikes I too felt a lot more comfortable on the Himalayan. The Dominar is just not refined or comfortable enough for long distances.
Prashant Shubham Turning radius is very high. i own D400 and 2010 TBTS 350 .. I can say D400 is good for high speed highway riding.. TBTS is very easy to handle and gives better milage .. but TBTS has its own set of disadvantage.. if you don't care about milage D400 is the way to go.. overall D400 is a good bike.. TBTS has more light feel.. and better suspension... in my opinion.. take a test ride..on highway
What a great review! It has clarified a lot about the features of the bikes and now one can make an informed decision as to which bike to go for. Kudos Autocar
Autocar India is beyond doubt a channel superseding all. The coverage of current and upcoming vehicles has a phenomenal impact on 4G + generation. I would say one should rather must go for it if one has passion to roll over and command to screwed up to new vehicles. Keep it up Autocar...!!!
Both the bikes fall into different purpose or domain..but for the same price range, i prefer Bajaj Dominor 400 over RE himalayan..Dominor 400 is one-in-all for city daily commuting or cruising..
Irrespective of styling and whether or not the Dominar is a tourer, my major concern how the Dominar will be during the monsoon. It has quite a lot of sensors, and I'm afraid that these will be ruined during heavy rains like we experience specially in Mumbai. Any insights on my concern?
First I'm decide to buy a RE Himalayan.Then I saw Bajaj D400 and decided to buy it. And now Bajaj has launched D250 now what to do please suggest me better way..😣
I had booked a Himalayan On 10th Dec 2016.....2Months down the line on 11th feb 2017 I cancelled The same and Booked a Dominor 400.....certainly performance driven with best technological advancements..... P.S: I already have pulsar 150
It's past my understanding why would you compare the two ? Both are built for different purpose.A Himalayan would go to places comfortable ,where the Dominar would be sweating.And a Dominar would scortch on tarmac where the Himalayan would be dreaming.Pick your choice !
The Bajaj Dominar 400 is the most powerful bike in 370 cc engine.. Good mileage.. Nice features and upgrade bike in 400 cc engine and always nice compare with Himalayan bike mfg by royal Enfield this company Enfield is very popular and young youth is very impressed.. Your review is very nice compression about both bike..
its an unfair comparison.. when it comes to state of the art tech, Bajaj is way ahead of RE. And both these 2 wheelers caters to different class of audience which adds to the fact that the comparison is unfair
Bajaj motorcycles give all the weight in the handle and hence are ruff and tuffer to handle rather than royal enfield which has all the weight just below the seat which allows better handling and more comfortable ride.
It's like "OLD- ROYAL-LEGACY v/s MODERN- INDIGENOUS-BLOOMER"..in EVOLVING- ENTERPRISING INDIA. GOOD- HEALTHY Competition...KEEP it UP¡ I just love BAJAJ, to stand for INDIA¡ A Great SALUTE from an EX-IAF ian.
Himalayan build quality and technology is like a bike that should have been launched 5 years back. Dominar is more of a current age and more value for money which matters most.
auto car channel is the best according to me . but my favourite is Himalayan : king of off-roaders but dominar is a typical racing type motorcycle . dominar is one of the best cruiser bike
1 month since I booked himalayan. Royal Enfield doesn't care about its customer. Yesterday got a call that there will be 90 days waiting and they are still not sure if they will be able to deliver my bike.
I have to disagree with this, Bajaj Dominar definitely does not appear to be the kind of bike you want to take on a long distance tour. The Himalayan is an off road capable tourer, one that I'd prefer riding long distance.
With the right tyres, Im sad to say, the Dominar performs equally as good, if not better!, than the Himalayan. I'm sure there are Dominar/Himalayan offroad comparison on YT.
@wanderer U r rit... Dont know why bajaj started to call it a touring bike. Its not at all touring bike. And even at the time of launching it was not at all mentioned that its a cruiser or touring bike. Although i am big fan of bajaj but please dnt fool people who are having less knowledge about motorcycle categories. Himalayan is a typical offroad bike. Dominor isnt. Its a sporty bike.
Wanderer tell that to the people who have already done 20k plus on the dominar. Dominar has proven to be reliable and capable on highways and off roads unlike the himalayan.
these Motorcycles have there own identity! yes but there touring capabilities and price range put them in comparison. need to ride both to make the decision.
Both the bikes are unique in their own way. I would prefer #Dominar for long rides. RE Himalayan for laddakh maybe. #AutocarIndia this is the best comparison video for category. Cool stuff
abhi seng dominar has duke 390 engine... you are comparing faulty re engines with that beast? why indians compensate their manliness with the enfield..lol
Bajaj Dominar does dominate with it's new stylish look and brilliant engine. Being a huge fan of Royal Enfield, I always opt for Enfield than any other brand but this time I just might give bajaj a chance because there ew launch is impressive. AutoCar with yet another brilliant review giving lots of insights. Thank You AutoCar.
These are supposed to be adventure bikes and you seem to have missed the most important point. The Dominar is covered in plastic and will fall to bits on a long adventure ride, indeed it is not an adventure bike at all. The Enfield is all-steel the reason the make has been successful in India for all these years. It can carry all the stuff you need on an adventure ride, so is a proper adventure bike and it looks the part too.
Someone please help me take a final decsion between both...my main purpose for purchase is extra long touring to Kerala, Bhutan, Ladakh etc. Which one will stand apart both in looks and performance. I am confused entirely :(

DOminar is VFM Bike and Himalayan is more of a offroader.Normal commuter will never except Himalayan but I would love to have Himalayan in my stable.
Himalayan is the best when comes to off reading.
Dominor has a powerful engine but I think both fall in different categories to be compared
Dominar for strict cruising and Himalayan for cruising and offroading !!! RE should work in increasing power of Himalayan and including ABS
Hary Sree ABS is not effective in off road. It skits i.e ABS to be off in off road conditions.
It has included
@First Name Last Name lucky the bs6 comes with it
Good comparison by Autocar. So the Dominar is for city + touring and the Himalayan is for off roading + touring. Himalayan needs a refresh and probably a price cut 😀
I am impressed by bajaj dominar 400, it's simply awesome.
I actually had both of these bikes in mind when I thought of buying a bike. But I did not have time to do a lot of research. Then came autocar and Voila! All my doubts were cleared after watching this review. Thanks to Autocar now I can make an informed decision. 👏👏👏👏👏👏
Ityendra soo wht u dicidie? ?

Vishnu M how is the bike?

Bajaj Dominar is amazing

Best comparison of two different worlds made for same reason - Cruising... A big thumbs up for Autocar team 👍👍

Wat a amazing bike RE Himalayan!!! loved to ride it...🏃🏃🏃
Nice review Autocar.........having tested both the bikes I too felt a lot more comfortable on the Himalayan. The Dominar is just not refined or comfortable enough for long distances.
Nice comparison. Keep the knowledge flowing.
Is dominar good as a daily commuter?
Prashant Shubham Yes.
Prashant Shubham Turning radius is very high. i own D400 and 2010 TBTS 350 .. I can say D400 is good for high speed highway riding.. TBTS is very easy to handle and gives better milage .. but TBTS has its own set of disadvantage.. if you don't care about milage D400 is the way to go.. overall D400 is a good bike..

TechKerala what is tbts?

Legend Vs Icon... !!! :-))

no doubt,himalayan.I love RE himalayan.
Irrespective of styling and whether or not the Dominar is a tourer, my major concern how the Dominar will be during the monsoon. It has quite a lot of sensors, and I'm afraid that these will be ruined during heavy rains like we experience specially in Mumbai. Any insights on my concern?
This comparison guide video solved all my concerns.. thanks Autocar
I will always pick Royal Enfield Himalayan over Bajaj Dominor.
they both are from different categories. still explained a lot about two products. nice work by Autocar india. cheers😊#AutocarIndia
Bajaj has come a long way from the humble chetak to the dominar. The company has redefined its lineage.
@autocarindia subscribed !! nice comparo.. something that i was waiting for!
This is a great review and has given good clarity as to which bike to go for depending on ones preferences. Good work 👍
Awesome review! Just subscribed to the channel for more exciting reviews to come!
First I'm decide to buy a RE Himalayan.Then I saw Bajaj D400 and decided to buy it. And now Bajaj has launched D250 now what to do please suggest me better way..😣
Was waiting for this comparison review. Thanks autocar
Dominor 2019 is bs6 engine is it true...
Team,
Please can you compare the same in 2020
As I am planning to take bs6 himalayan this feb
Dont worry man..re nvr improves on their bikes.so now domi would be bettr and himalayn wld be the same.
bajaj dominar is a good bike but royal Enfield is not a bike it's a emotion
kunal puri Haathi mat paalo!
Sahi hai bhai
Ofcourse, you’ll definitely get emotional when it breaks down in middle of nowhere.
Typical fan boy😒
RE is an emotion true, after buying it we will cry like this 😪. And regret buying it.
very detailed review.nice work autocar.
I wish dominar was vibe free , would have been near perfect
definately my pic would be dominar as they say it's a power cruiser
I had booked a Himalayan On 10th Dec 2016.....2Months down the line on 11th feb 2017 I cancelled The same and Booked a Dominor 400.....certainly performance driven with best technological advancements..... P.S: I already have pulsar 150
Anil Pagare
good luck
Anil Pagare I cancelled my classic 500 booking in favor of Dominar
Bajaj Dominar 400 the best vehicle i can find
Bajaj should include touring accesories like paniers and topcase as an option.
impressive review...you showed & compared both bikes very well..
Autocar gives the best comparisons. Please do a review video on vespa sxl 150. I've only seen comparison videos on it here.
comparo i've been waiting for ...!! which one to buy ?? with nearly same price...
The two Bajaj Dominar and Royal Enfield can be compared on only their engine specifications but both bikes have different style and domain
when you will upload video for Honda City facelift 2017
Dominar 400 or RE Gunmetal Double disk.
Please suggest which one i should go for...
Quite a comparison. Dominar is still my pick!
Great showacase for the new Bajaj offering.
It's past my understanding why would you compare the two ? Both are built for different purpose.A Himalayan would go to places comfortable ,where the Dominar would be sweating.And a Dominar would scortch on tarmac where the Himalayan would be dreaming.Pick your choice !

Nice features and upgrade bike in 400 cc engine and always nice compare with Himalayan bike mfg by royal Enfield this company Enfield is very popular and young youth is very impressed..

both being that amazing, it helps when such a detailed comparison is done!!! #awesome
its an unfair comparison.. when it comes to state of the art tech, Bajaj is way ahead of RE. And both these 2 wheelers caters to different class of audience which adds to the fact that the comparison is unfair
This guy explains every thing very nice.
Bajaj motorcycles give all the weight in the handle and hence are ruff and tuffer to handle rather than royal enfield which has all the weight just below the seat which allows better handling and more comfortable ride.
On long touring...anyone experienced how the dominar handles a 75 liter of load at the back and another 10 liters of spare fuel on the front side?
It's like "OLD- ROYAL-LEGACY v/s MODERN- INDIGENOUS-BLOOMER"..in EVOLVING- ENTERPRISING INDIA.
GOOD- HEALTHY Competition...KEEP it UP¡ I just love BAJAJ, to stand for INDIA¡
A Great SALUTE from an EX-IAF ian.
Awesome comparison.. thumbs up :)
Himalayan my dream
Which one is best long ride ? Himalayan or dominate 400.
Hai autocar India
how could you compare RE Himalayan and Bajaj Dominor
A good comparison sir. If I may be so bold, the shade of your cooling glass doesn't complement you too well.
Though both comes with comparable engine displacements, these are two separate categories...
To my opinion both bike are missing one very imp feature that is compass, both bikes definitely want a compass
good explanation and good comparison
I like Bajaj the most ... nice design n good handling n sporty feel .
411 cc nd 24 PS 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Pramit Nandi I swear.... horribly weak!😂😂💣
Pramit Nandi himalayan euro4 compliant will be the perfect one
Pramit Nandi
even if RE makes 1000cc block.expect some 35 -45 ps
24PS at 4500 RPM matters than Those of the Dominor's
RE makes one of the worst bikes in india
Himalayan build quality and technology is like a bike that should have been launched 5 years back. Dominar is more of a current age and more value for money which matters most.
auto car channel is the best according to me . but my favourite is Himalayan : king of off-roaders but dominar is a typical racing type motorcycle . dominar is one of the best cruiser bike
RE is getting worse by the day anyways! Lowering standards isnt going to help!
Ankith Hegde then why are there sales increasing daily no one can beat Royal Enfield
Royal Enfield growing and they are best in market
Its a different charm to ride Himalayan. Believe me I own one.
Can you do a comparison video between dominar and RE Himalayan latest FI version.
I already watched the review 100 times but one more time cuz autocar india personally messaged me
Ajay Rathore
A great- superb fight for MOTO INDIA, between BAJAJ DOMINOUR v/s ROYAL ENFIELD...GOOD RIDING...ThumpsUp!...
1 month since I booked himalayan. Royal Enfield doesn't care about its customer.
Yesterday got a call that there will be 90 days waiting and they are still not sure if they will be able to deliver my bike.

I rather trust the. Dominar.. Though Himalayan is meant to tour.. Absolutely terrible quality means lots of things break down lots time
Wanderer tell that to the people who have already done 20k plus on the dominar. Dominar has proven to be reliable and capable on highways and off roads unlike the himalayan.
U sure you prefer Himalayan over dominar LOL
Are both bikes comfortable for 5'7'' height?
Sports tourer vs adventure tourer.......not fair...... Individual reviews are good though...
Please do Comparison Test video on dominar 400 vs mahindra mojo
was waiting for this from so long!!
thanx man I was looking into this
Could you do a first ride of the BMW g310r?
Nice review but is it not like comparing Oranges and Apples. The bikes appeal to different set of people.
these Motorcycles have there own identity! yes but there touring capabilities and price range put them in comparison. need to ride both to make the decision.
Both the bikes are unique in their own way. I would prefer #Dominar for long rides. RE Himalayan for laddakh maybe. #AutocarIndia this is the best comparison video for category. Cool stuff
That's an amazing bike.... look forward to see more on roads.
Dominar is miles ahead of RE in every aspect
In case of being a legendary bike, not even close.
abhi seng dominar has duke 390 engine... you are comparing faulty re engines with that beast? why indians compensate their manliness with the enfield..lol
+abhi seng -- Himalayan is not a legend tho :3
Durability ? Ghanta . Re is long lasting reliable bike
+Sanket Sherlekar 😂😂😂
where can I get Himalayan bike handlebar grad, which is in your video
Good comparision
Which is better for long rides
one qustion if you want a budget cruiser for a long run what should be chosen? dominar or himalyan
SiDdHaRtH BhAtT None, we still don't know how both fair in the reliabilty aspect.
SiDdHaRtH BhAtT Dominar for sure
For long run u should go for Japanese bikes, new FZ250 is a good buy for a tight budgt
at 1:43 Bluetooth
thanx autocar India for such a wonderful well-defined unbiased comparison...:))
Bajaj Dominar does dominate with it's new stylish look and brilliant engine. Being a huge fan of Royal Enfield, I always opt for Enfield than any other brand but this time I just might give bajaj a chance because there ew launch is impressive.
AutoCar with yet another brilliant review giving lots of insights. Thank You AutoCar.
Dominar is the most powerful bike of bajaj till now. But RE is something else.
These are supposed to be adventure bikes and you seem to have missed the most important point. The Dominar is covered in plastic and will fall to bits on a long adventure ride, indeed it is not an adventure bike at all. The Enfield is all-steel the reason the make has been successful in India for all these years. It can carry all the stuff you need on an adventure ride, so is a proper adventure bike and it looks the part too.
Test rode the Himalayan here in England. Would buy if it had 6 gears for relaxed highway cruising.
hope dominior is free from time chain voice and valves failure issues its a main part of bajaj bikes.
what is the minimum hight suits Royal Enfield Himalayan??
nice comparison
Himalayan can do both road and offroad while dominar cant but if your always on street on the street pick dominar that as simple as that
Someone please help me take a final decsion between both...my main purpose for purchase is extra long touring to Kerala, Bhutan, Ladakh etc. Which one will stand apart both in looks and performance. I am confused entirely :(
