TriMotors Technology Corporation, Bajaj’s new distributor in the Philippines, unveiled the updated 2026 Bajaj Dominar 400 today, February 26, 2026, at a launch event in Filinvest, Manila. Originally positioned as Kawasaki Philippines’ top entry-level highway-legal motorcycle, it drops the Kawasaki branding locally, mirroring India’s Bajaj-only approach for a fresh market push. Known for its value proposition, the Bajaj Dominar 400 2026 is priced at only PHP 208,888, 12 pesos lower than the UG2 from Kawasaki.
It still retains the 373.3cc liquid-cooled DOHC engine, which pumps out 40 PS at 8,800 rpm and 35 Nm at 6,500 rpm, mated to a 6-speed gearbox with assist and slipper clutch. Suspension includes USD forks up front and a preload-adjustable mono-shock at the rear, while braking comes from dual discs with dual-channel ABS (320mm front disc). It offers a 17L fuel tank with around 27 kmpl mileage, full LED lighting, four ride modes, Bluetooth navigation console, and a practical 800mm seat height on a 193 kg kerb weight frame.
What are the changes from Dominar 400 UG2?
Building on the prior UG2 variant, previously sold under Kawasaki branding, the 2026 Dominar 400 refines tech and usability without altering its core 373cc engine or 40 PS/35 Nm output. The instrument cluster upgrades to a single integrated digital display from the old split analog-digital setup, delivering clearer gear position indicators, ride mode selection, and fuel economy readouts at a glance. ABS calibration improves for superior wet-road stability, ergonomics add a USB-C charging port and refined grips (up from the basic touring kit), while new color choices previously limited to black only now include vibrant red and green options alongside black for broader appeal.
