If you are planning to buy a Sports Tourer bike soon, 2025 could be your year to upgrade your motorcycle. The 400cc segment is gearing up fast. Riders want bikes that handle daily commutes, weekend trails and highway tours with equal ease of comfort. That’s where choices like the Bajaj Dominar 400, KTM 390 Enduro R, TVS Apache RR 310 and Kawasaki Versys X 300 come in.
Why the 400cc Segment Matters
A 400cc bike hits the sweet spot for many riders in India. These bikes pack enough power for expressways, stay light enough for city traffic and still deliver decent mileage. You also get advanced features and better build quality than smaller bikes, without pushing budgets into big superbike territory.
Bajaj Dominar 400
The Bajaj Dominar 400 remains a solid pick for 2025. Priced near ₹2.30 lakh (ex-showroom), the Dominar 400 uses a 373cc single-cylinder engine that pushes out about 40 PS of power and 35 Nm of torque. It comes paired with a six-speed gearbox, slipper clutch, dual-channel ABS and full-LED lighting.
What makes it stand out is its touring kit options — from tall visors to luggage racks — making the Dominar 400 a practical companion for long rides. Bajaj’s vast service network is another plus for budget-conscious riders.

KTM 390 Enduro R
If your heart beats for off-road trails, the KTM 390 Enduro R deserves a top spot on your list. Based on the 390 platform, the Enduro R packs a 373cc engine that delivers punchy performance. The bike’s international spec includes adjustable long-travel suspension with up to 230mm of suspension travel, spoked wheels and dual-purpose tyres.
Expect switchable ABS, ride modes and a TFT dash with turn-by-turn navigation. The 390 Enduro R brings serious adventure capabilities to a mid-size machine — perfect if you want to tackle broken roads and trails without spending big on a liter-class ADV.
TVS Apache RR 310
For sports bike fans, the TVS Apache RR 310 remains one of the smartest 300cc–400cc options in the country. The RR 310 shares its 312cc liquid-cooled engine with BMW’s G 310 series. It makes around 34 PS of power and 27 Nm of torque, paired with a six-speed gearbox and slipper clutch.
The RR 310 stands out for its sharp styling, Bi-LED projector headlamps, color TFT display, ride-by-wire throttle and multiple riding modes. TVS has also kept it fresh with updates like a brass-coated chain, adjustable suspension and even a unique Race Kit.
Kawasaki Versys X 300
Adventure riders looking for comfort and reliability can check out the Kawasaki Versys X 300. The Versys X uses a 296cc twin-cylinder engine that produces about 40 PS of power and 26 Nm of torque, mated to a smooth six-speed gearbox.
It rides on a 19-inch front and 17-inch rear wheel combo, offering good ground clearance for mild trails. A large windshield, upright ergonomics and long travel suspension make it perfect for long-distance touring with the occasional off-road detour.
Kawasaki’s durable engineering and proven after-sales service make the Versys X 300 a safe bet for riders ready to explore the country on two wheels.
Final Thoughts
Whether you crave an all-rounder like the Bajaj Dominar 400, an adventure-ready KTM 390 Enduro R, a sharp track-inspired Apache RR 310 or a versatile tourer like the Kawasaki Versys X 300, the coming year promises plenty of exciting rides in the 400cc bracket.
Before picking your dream bike, check the seat height, fuel range, service reach and on-road price in your city. Test rides are a must — they’re the only way to know if a bike fits your height, comfort and riding style.
