  • The Bajaj Avenger 220 is one of the most affordable cruisers on sale
  • The 5-7 year old examples can be had at competitive prices
  • Spare parts are easily available with the bike still in production

The Bajaj Avenger 220 is the silent soldier in Bajaj Auto's portfolio that does handsome numbers every month without too much hue and cry. The Avenger 220 has been on sale for a decade now and it is one of the more value-friendly entry-level cruisers on sale. The Avenger 220 has been on sale for over a decade now and is currently sold only in the Cruise variant. The older examples though have a following over their own with the Kawasaki Eliminator inspired design that a lot of people still like. If you are a fan of that styling and are looking for a pre-owned Avenger 220, here are some pros and cons you should know.

The Bajaj Avenger 220 has been on sale for over a decade now and parts are easy to come by

1. The Bajaj Avenger 220 certainly looks the part and is instantly recognisable for its design. The old models also had the old-school charm that does look nice.

2. The Avenger 220 was all about cruising but it was also a fairly light motorcycle over a conventional cruiser. This made it easier to manage for newer riders as well as those looking for a comfortable and powerful commuter.

3. The Bajaj Avenger 220 remains largely unchanged and parts are extremely easy to come by. Spares and affordable and servicing isn't backbreaking either. For those looking for a cruiser on a budget, a preowned Avenger 220 makes a strong case.

4. The long wheelbase and 19 Nm of peak torque from the engine still work in its favour. The bike feels at home doing triple-digit speeds and is quite stable.

5. An 8-year-old Avenger 220 will be easily priced between Rs. 30,000-35,000. And that can be a steal for a well-kept one.

Torque was available at the high-end of the powerband that was disappointing for some

1. The Bajaj Avenger 220 was always built to a cost, so you will find rusting issues around the exhaust and chrome bits on the older examples.

2. The pillion seat comfort was always decent and not too comfortable on the Avenger 220. The low seat height and forward-set footpegs can get a while to get used to for the rider.

3. While the braking system was adequate, Bajaj never provided a rear disc brake, which continues to be the case even today. The front sports a disc while the rear gets a drum brake set up. The older examples did not get ABS either.  

4. The long wheelbase does it give a strong presence but it also made the motorcycle more prone to scraping the underbelly due to the low ground clearance. It also made manoeuvring the bike in slow-moving traffic or a tad bit more difficult.

5. Unlike conventional cruisers that are designed to be torque heavy in nature, the Avenger 220 always looked the part but used a street-oriented 220 cc engine from the Bajaj Pulsar 220F. So, if you are looking at an authentic cruiser experience, the Avenger 220 may seem to be more street-friendly.

About the Reviewer

I bought avenger 220 cruise in December 2020 and I am amazed to see its performance. I heard about that this bike is only for long route but believe me I am riding form past 1.5 years, I found no such issue, yes its turning radius is bit more as compare to other but it hardly troubles. Best part : 1) unmatched comfort.( I ride 325 km in a single day but didn't feel like) 2) average is around 35 to 40 km/l in city and 45 km/l on highway. (what else you expect from 220cc engine) 3 ) low maintenance. 4) vibrations are very less, it starts above 95 (though less) 5) chrome work that provides a stunning look to the bike stunning. 6) blue light in digital console meter makes the bike unique from others. Improvements requires (in my view): 1) there is no tubeless tyre, although I didn't find any difficulty till now but yes if company will provide this in future, it will like cherry on the cake. 2) pillion seat is not much comfortable, less space provided for pillion rider. 3) company should provide double channel abs, right now this bike is having single channel abs. At the last I would recommend this bike as I have a pleasant experience & moreover the price range is very good although some improvements are required which I have mentioned above but still this bike is value for money and no one is going to disappoint after riding this powerful bike.

Petrol overflow was not mentioned, and servicing charges were too much. The break light not working since the day I purchased the bike. The service center never checked and also didn't inform me. Will never recommend it to my friends and relatives.

I want to sell my bike because I have already 2 more two-wheelers that's why the bike's condition is very good only 10700 km driven. I am the first owner of the bike. The bike is very comfortable for driving in the city and on highways. The only cons I felt were that height is quite low for tall people otherwise it's a good package.

Occasional Commute

10000-15000 kms

Avenger 220, 2011 model. Almost 12 years of experience daily riding. Sometimes long tour. The Longest tour was about 880 km. Awesome experience. Never made me down. Still running well and in good condition. Change Oil every 5000 km to 8000 km or 6 months. And regular service. Look awesome. Best for short-height people.

Overall good package and probably the best yields on the term “value for money”. I have used it in the city and also used it as a single - one way 1300 km long ride; in plain as well as hilly areas; in traffic and on highway roads; always proved to be quite comfortable and reliable ( because maintained well). My love for this bike is always incriminating with each additional experience with it.

Time to time maintenance from authorised dealer will help in maintaining reliability and comfort as new.

Pros: Value for money. Avenger never breaks your trust. Comfortable for pillion riders and older people. Pocket-friendly in terms of mileage and bike cost. For long tours, it is super comfortable. Cons: Steering in mountain curves. Spoke wheels and tube-type wheels are a discomfort. Missing the kick start as in between a tour if the battery gets dead. It's tough to start if you are on a solo trip.

I will suggest to change the spokes to alloy and have a tubeless tyres where I suffered the most.

Very good bike for city rides and turning both. It looks very nice. Servicing is good and maintenance cost is zero. Very comfortable bike. Mileage is awesome. I'm fully satisfied.

1)I have been riding this bike for a long and till now I didn't face any issues. I keep my bike up to date from time to time servicing and running. I went from Surat to Lucknow on this 220 cc bike and I can say that in almost every condition this bike is phenomenal. It is very comfortable and refined. 2)Now let's talk about some downsides. One can feel engine vibrations at high speeds, and the turning radius may be a problem for someone. Lastly, gear shifting and ground clearance could have been better. Other than that everything is cool. I have 3 years of amazing experience with this bike.

Essentially a bajaj discover 125 disguised as 220 cruiser.

This bike is essentially 100-125cc disguised as a 200cc. Above 60kmph it starts vibrating and that is painful if you're riding for a long time. The vibrations travel to the tailbone and result in highly sharp pain. Even after the suspension is set to the highest level the oscillations damp down but the overall result stays the same. Engine heats up like anything in traffic or even on a hot day highway ride. Servicing spares are somewhat cheap compared to re but still unexpected unresolved issues crop up. The fuel indicator shows it's on reserve but there are still 7 liters of petrol in the tank. I rode the Platina and it felt smoother in gear shifts and better performance-wise than this. Yes, you can overtake someone even when at 80kmph but the fact is due to vibrations you won't actually ride at 80kmph for longer than a few minutes.

Best budget cruiser. Unreal performance without a huge dent on your budget.

Himanshu Suvarna

I purchased my bike in 2017 when the avenger cruise was first launched. It was the perfect design for the avenger although I feel they downgraded the classic look by trying to make it "stylish" after that year. Still, a very beautiful bike and a very unique design compared to the same ghisa-pita designs of res, jawas, h'ness etc. Avenger brings novelty to the bike design in that aspect. Coming to the riding experience. This is the single most comfortable bike I've ever sat on and the first thing I've noticed that always pops out of the pillion rider's mouth when they sit is, "wow. The backseat is so comfortable", as the backrest for the pillion enhances the experience. There is a point to be noted here. The pillion seat is only comfortable for short commutes. For long rides, it's extremely uncomfortable. The seat for them is very narrow and can cause uncomfortable pains as the ride goes on. The rider seat on the other hand is perfection. I've done a roughly 450 km ride in one sitting with no fatigue or strain by the end of it. The ride was super comfortable. Coming to the performance side of the bike. It's a killer bike with very good performance. Can go up to 120 kmph safely. Anything more and you will most likely be causing harm to your bike. However, an important point to keep in mind. It's a cruiser end of the day and not a sports bike. So at cruising speeds of 70-80 kmph, it's buttery smooth but once you cross maybe 90-95 kmph, you'll start noticing vibrations. The bike will still remain stable even at high speeds but maybe a pair of biker gloves will definitely be needed to reduce the impact of vibrations while riding. It's got very good acceleration and the performance is killer for the price band. Mileage is another great thing on this bike. Gives around 35-40 kmph easily. Official mileage is 45 kmph though. One of the star features of this bike is the cost of maintenance. I've seen a few people say maintenance costs them 2500-3500 each visit which surprises me. I only get the bike services at bajaj service centers and it usually costs around 1500. In fact, it has never crossed 2000. Prices of spare parts are dirt cheap. I had a terrible accident once which left heavy damage on one side of the bike but I managed to come out of the service center with a bill only amounting to around 4k by the end of it. The only problem is the quality of service. A lot of bajaj service centres keep ruining the experiences for customers with sub-par services. So what I do now is I check the ratings of service centres in my city and pick the highest-rated ones only. That's one benefit of bajaj service centres. You'll be spoilt for choice. There are usually multiple service centers in a single city. I've had a great experience at such high-rated service centres. Some people say this bike is difficult to ride in cities. I say that's nonsense. I've been using it in cities and in fact, I regularly go crisscrossing in traffic and I have never faced an issue with this bike. It all comes down to practice and your riding abilities. The turning radius is higher and the bike is longer than most other standard bikes. So trying to make tight corners will be a challenge but I easily maneuver through city traffic with no problem. It's just an over-exaggerated problem in my opinion. An underrated feature on this bike is its windshield. It's a killer windshield that pushes the wind up in such a great way that I've seen many random things that flew toward the bike usually get redirected immediately due to the flow of the wind over the screen. Plus it gives a very classic look to the bike.

Keep servicing it regularly. Make sure it's a well-oiled machine. I've noticed significant improvements in performance right after a service. It's chrome and the metal parts are susceptible to rust if you live in an area with too much rain. Make sure you keep the bike protected from the elements.

2021 Bajaj Avenger Cruise 220 review, test ride

The bigger Avenger 220 Cruise is the one that stays true to the brand’s tag line, but has its own little flaws.

2021 Bajaj Avenger Cruise 220 review, test ride

Unlike the Avenger Street 160 that debuted only in 2019, the Cruise 220 has been around for a while. Sitting at the top of the Avenger line-up, the Cruise differs from the Street in some functional aspects that make a world of a difference. 

FEEL LIKE GOD

It’s a pretty bold tag line, but this Avenger Cruise 220 does make an impressive attempt at living up to it. For someone looking for a proper taste of what a cruiser has to offer, there isn’t an entry-level motorcycle that does it as well as the Cruise 220. The Cruise model is characterised by its wire-spoke wheels, generous amounts of chrome and long, low stance. The ergonomics, as well, are in line with what you’d expect from a cruiser – your feet are set forward, and a wide, swept-back handlebar enables you to manoeuvre the bike with very little effort. My only issue with this setup is that the handlebars will make contact with your knees while making sharp U-turns, or while filtering through traffic at slow speeds.

bajaj avenger 220 cruise pros and cons

Just like with the Street, the Cruise also gets a tank-mounted secondary console with some tell-tale lights, but the fuel gauge is part of the primary handlebar-mounted fully digital unit. A tall, non-adjustable windscreen is part of the package as well, but I found that it does more harm than good for my 6-foot frame. A shorter rider will likely face less wind buffeting. 

CRUISE CONTROL

Just like the Street 160, the Cruise 220 also gets an engine that first debuted on a Pulsar, but has a reduction in power here. This 220cc, single-cylinder, oil-cooled engine is capable of peak output figures of 19.03hp at 8,500rpm and 17.55Nm at 7,000rpm. In application, this engine is notably calmer than the unit on the smaller Avenger and feels much more adept at maintaining highway speeds without too much stress. Performance is, unsurprisingly, better as well, and by a fair margin. The Cruise 220 gets to a 100kph nearly 10sec quicker than the Street 160. 

The Cruise 220 costs about Rs 23,000 more than Street 160, at Rs 1.27 lakh. It’s a fair margin between the two, but if you’re looking for more performance, the ability to take your bike out on long highway rides, and the visual appeal of a cruiser, it’s a stretch you should consider making.

Bajaj Avenger BS6 review, road test: Entry-level unicorn cruisers ridden

We sampled both the bs6 bajaj avenger 220 cruise and bajaj avenger 160 street to understand if they are indeed a one-size-fits-all motorcycles or not..

Bajaj Avenger BS6 review, road test: Entry-level unicorn cruisers ridden

I quite liked the Bajaj Avenger right from the time it was a Kawasaki Eliminator. But then I never rode one. The fear was that a gangly 6 footer (plus) might just not fit on the bike. This stayed until now. Bajaj Auto, called and asked if I will be interested in reviewing the new Bajaj Avenger BS6 range. When I explained to them my apprehensions, they insisted I go and take the bike to a longer route and not just in the confines of the city. To understand the motorcycle better, they also added the smaller Bajaj Avenger Street 160 to the mix. Well, now that’s hard to refuse! Roped in my photographer to ride one of the bikes and off we went to Mumbai’s favourite riding destination – Lonavla. The sweeping turns, the straights, and mainly the near 100km one-way journey were the right recipes for testing the Bajaj Avenger 220 Cruise and Street 160 bikes.

Did you actually fit on the Bajaj Avenger 220 Cruise and Avenger 160 Street?

bajaj avenger 220 cruise pros and cons

Yes, quite comfortably. In fact, the seat has got to be one of the highlights of this bike. For example, it is almost like a sofa and you comfortably sink in. I didn’t have a sore bum after the near 10-hour shoot. The plan was to have breakfast at Lonavala at RamaKrishna, a popular restaurant, on entering the town. En route we shot for the video as well and the ‘gram. I started the journey with the Avenger 160. While my knees were above the fuel tank, the riding posture was comfortable, the mirrors were usable and the ground clearance (169mm) allowed me to stretch the bike’s legs. Speaking of which, the motorcycle comes with 17-inch front and 15-inch rear wheels, wrapped in MRF rubber.

Royal Enfield Super Meteor 650 review

The switch from 160 to 220 wasn’t as seamless as I thought it will be. The Bajaj Avenger 220 BS6 boasts slightly sweptback handlebars and seems a bit bigger as well, though both the bikes share their dimensions. So, the swap didn’t result in a dramatically different dimension though the experience on both is. One tends to be a bit more relaxed on the 220 whereas the 160 urges you to go a wee bit faster.

How different are the engines?

bajaj avenger 220 cruise pros and cons

If you’ve ridden the Bajaj Pulsar NS160, then the Avenger Street’s motor will make you feel at home. It has the same peppiness and feel. It is quite a tractable engine and is equally at home both on the highway as well as on the street. The gearshifts though feel a bit mechanical yet effortless. In this aspect, the Avenger 220’s gearshift quality is one of the best in the Bajaj range. While the clutch on both the bikes is light, especially in traffic, I didn’t encounter any false neutral. Moreover, clutchless upshifts were met with the same enthusiasm as other sport-oriented bikes from Bajaj.

The Avenger 220’s motor comes off from the Pulsar 220F. The latter was once known as the “World’s Fastest Indian”. However, for use in the Avenger it has been detuned. It makes 19.03hp of power and 17.55Nm of torque. This engine is mated to a 5-speed gearbox. Definitely, this motor is more at home at higher speeds with some left in the reserve for overtakes.

bajaj avenger 220 cruise pros and cons

The common point between both the engine is the surprisingly good fuel efficiency. While we were running both the engines near the redline, almost all the time, the fuel economy returned by both were above 45kmpl. Astonishing! I believe the bikes will return better mileage once the engines are properly run-in.

Any difference in the feature-set of the Bajaj Avenger 160 and 220?

bajaj avenger 220 cruise pros and cons

Lots actually. The Avenger 160 gets alloy wheels with tubeless tyres (a boon). It also gets a modest semi-digital instrument console with only the trip meter, odometer readouts. Both the bikes get a secondary meter on the fuel tank and it shows you the battery diagnosis and ABS malfunction indicator. Other changes between both the bikes include a fully digital instrument console, chrome, pillion seatback, higher kerb weight and of course the bigger engine in the 220 Cruise. The digital meter is quite lucid even in broad daylight and while the windshield does vibrate at higher speeds, it is only when you hit a pothole or an uneven road. At higher speeds or in city traffic, the mirrors, unlike the ones on the Street, are useless as one cannot adjust them much and they only seem to show you the pillion’s legs.

Ride and handling

There are next to no vibrations for the rider at usable speeds on both bikes. The engine refinement is very good. The pillion though has to contend with footpeg vibrations. Anyone sitting pillion on the Cruise will be a bit more comfortable due to the backrest. As for folks like me on the rider’s perch, the Avengers boast the best ride quality due to their soft suspension tuning. This being said, more than 300km at a stretch means I might have to contend with a slightly tired lower back.

bajaj avenger 220 cruise pros and cons

Handling-wise in the city the motorcycles, contrary to my belief, proved to be quite nimble. Even u-turns because of the handlebar leverage are quite easy. Give it a winding road and the Cruise definitely seems more at home while surprisingly the Street took a bit more effort to tip. Footpeg clearance is decent on both the bikes though on account of overenthusiasm for the pictures, I did manage to grind the pegs a couple of times.

The ‘Feel Like God’ tagline definitely wasn’t made up. It is real and for one to experience themselves.

Reliability and build quality

bajaj avenger 220 cruise pros and cons

Modern-day machines tend to be reliable barring few manufacturers that still pursue ancient production methods. With the Avenger 220 Cruise, it was noticed that after a couple of hard runs, the right side rear indicator screw had worked itself loose. Now, we tried fixing it with bare hands but without the availability of a torque wrench, the indicator just wouldn’t stay put. There was also the curious case of the battery side panel falling off the bike even though it was properly locked. I guess, these issues could have been sorted at the pre-delivery inspection stage. As for the 160, it worked like clockwork with impressive build quality.

bajaj avenger 220 cruise pros and cons

Assumptions! Well, a ride and a decently long one cleared all doubts. The Avengers can be used by one and all. It’s very rare for a manufacturer to ensure one size fits all and Bajaj have done it. At Rs 1.24 lakh for the Cruise and Rs 1.03 lakh, ex-Delhi for the Street, these aren’t exactly the bargain that they were before BS6 norms came in. But, when you consider that there are no other cruisers (an opportunity for other bike makers) in this range barring the Suzuki Intruder, you will likely buy the Avengers.

bajaj avenger 220 cruise pros and cons

But if I were to buy the Cruise, I will immediately switch to alloys and tubeless tyres. I will also add aux lights though the stock halogens are decent but not awesome. Better adjustable mirrors too will be on the list. That’s all the changes I will make. My assumption is Bajaj too will. In the next update.

Bajaj Avenger Pros & Cons

Indian motorcycle industry just has a small share of cruisers within it. Brands like Bajaj Auto and Royal Enfield are the only old and reliable names in this typical segment of motorcycling.

When on a strict budget, Bajaj offers a wide range of Cruisers which are basically the same but carries different identities based on their engine size and styling. Bajaj offers the Avenger series in Street and Cruise variants while the engines on offer include 150cc and 220cc DTS-i motors. Here are the Pros and Cons for the popular Bajaj Avenger series.

bajaj-avenger-series

New Bajaj Avenger Series - List of Pros & Cons

Advantages of Bajaj Avenger (Pros)

# Powerful Engine

The 220cc DTS-i motor on both the 220 Cruise and 220 Street produces 19.03 PS of max power and 17.5 Nm of torque. It comes mated to a 5-speed manual gearbox. This makes it the most powerful cruiser option in India when considered under INR 1 lakh. Not just that, Avenger can even be bought in a lesser powerful 150cc Street variant, which has maximum power and maximum torque of 14.54 PS and 12.5 Nm respectively.

# Economical Performance

The 150cc Street produces 14.54 PS of power and 12.5 Nm of torque. This engine returns 45-50 kmpl of excellent mileage, providing the worth of the catchy design with an economical engine. It is even priced considerably lower, even after using maximum number of same components with the 220cc Avenger. So, if you can planning to buy an economical street cruiser, then Avenger 150 has been made for you.

# Impressive Pricing

The Avenger 150 Street and 220 Street/Cruise retails for INR 76,989 and INR 87,331 respectively. This makes the cruiser section available to virtually everyone around the country. Instead of going for those high seated, speed loving performance bikes, one can opt for a simple yet attractive low slung option. The use of same engine promises equally inspiring performance from the Avenger series.

# Low Seat Height

The low seat height of 725mm on the Avenger series makes it the best option for those who are new to bikes or have an average height. It becomes easy to control as both the feet can properly touch the ground. This also helps new riders to move easily through traffic. The rear backrest makes it even more comfortable for the pillion.

# Accessory Options

Avenger series offers loads of accessories for the riders to make their everyday driving even more comfortable. The huge windshield seen on the Cruise series can even be fitted on the Street series while the same can be done to the full backrest also. The option of loading saddle bags is also available on the Avenger series. You can check out the full list of accessories from your nearest Bajaj store.

# Powerful Headlamp

If the motorcycle is to be used for touring purposes, a powerful headlamp is the need of time. Bajaj offers 55/60W bulb for better illumination, making the Avenger series more friendly on even unknown dark roads. Not just that, it even offers a better 9Ah maintenance free battery on the 220 series.

# High Ground Clearance

The Avenger series offers 169 mm of ground clearance, making it much better than many other mass market bikes of India. The lower seat height and high clearance makes it look quiet thin when seen from the side angle. However, both the properties are not seen in any other bike in India together.

Disadvantages of Bajaj Avenger (Cons)

# Power Delivery at Higher RPM

The good amount of power is delivered at quite high rpm when compared to typical cruisers around the world. The same amount of power if could have been provided around 5000 rpm, the cruising would become much more impressive than ever. Overtaking also needs more efforts with the current engines.

# High Body Weight

The 220 series of cruiser can be considered good as they have a bigger engine and even more parts on the Cruise variant while the 150cc Avenger (148 kg) weighs just 2 kg less than the 220 Street. This makes it lesser powerful than generally every 150cc motorcycle around the segment, which lies between 132 to 136 kg.

# No Rear Disc Brake

The use of just front disc brake lowers its value for money perspective. The nearly same priced Pulsar 220F uses dual discs while the Avenger misses out on the disc brake and uses a 130 mm drum brake instead. Even though the tyres are good for its size, braking confidence goes down considerably with this move.

meter

# Basic Instrument Console

The instrument console on the Avenger series is just a speedometer with a very small screen for odometer and other details. If a tachometer would have bee installed on the Avenger, most people would have noticed the power output being delivered at higher rpm's.

Bajaj Avenger Cruise 220 Detailed Review

Bajaj Avenger has been a favorite of Indian customers because of its styling. The Avenger Cruise 220 takes the looks and design a step ahead by adding new design elements. The styling of the Bajaj Avenger Cruise 220 is influenced by big cruisers such as Harley Davidson. It has been provided with a big and bulky cruiser outlook. Its body is symmetrical. Its large windscreen is quite attractive. It has a cruiser look thanks to its telescopic fork at a break angle. This Avenger Cruise 220 has a lot of chrome, including the radiator, the horn, the exhaust, the front and rear turn signals, the mirror, and the area near the pillion seat. It's made of so much chrome that it gleams in the sunlight. The fuel tank contributes to its cruiser look, the way it flares out forms a teardrop look also topped with a big chrome piece that comes with a tell-tale light, fuel filler gap, and a minimalistic instrument cluster that is fully digitally situated above the chrome piece. It has a long single-piece seat with a backrest for the pillion seat which does not make it very comfortable but is good. ]The engine is 220 cc while the power of this Avenger Cruise 220 is 18.7 bhp. The Torque is 17.5 Nm. The brake type being disk with the typers are tubes. The seat height is 737 mm.

The Bajaj Avenger Cruise 220 has a traditional cruiser design. Its wonderfully smooth curves and usage of chrome components ensure that one stands out on the road while riding it, and makes one feel distinct from the throng.

The overall dimensions of the Avenger Cruise 220 are bigger than its siblings due to the addition of a windscreen and engine crash guard. The Cruiser 220 has been specifically designed to take on the highways and not the city streets. The seat height on the Bajaj Avenger Cruise 220 is 737 mm. It has large forward-set footpads in the cruiser style. It has a nice brake pedal and a large gear shift. The grips on the handlebars are fantastic. The rider's vision is blocked by the windscreen, which protects him from the air and buffeting, particularly on the head. Its mirror has a limited number of movements and requires a significant amount of time to set up. Even when the bike is running at a high pace, the handlebars do not vibrate significantly. The rider seat is smaller than the pillion seat. This seat is long enough and has a backrest, but it lacks comfort and is not suitable for extended rides. Its kerb weight is 163 kg, which is completely manageable. 

The Bajaj Avenger Cruise 220 has a low seat that allows the rider to easily touch the ground with their feet when seated. It's also lightweight, making it simple to manoeuvre.

Bajaj Avenger was popular since its launch because of the peppy engine and smooth gearbox combination. The Cruise 220 comes with a more powerful engine for easy highway cruising. The motor on the Bajaj Avenger Cruise 220 is comparable to that of the renowned Pulsar 220F. The Bajaj Avenger Cruise 220 is equipped with an oil-cooled 220 cc DTS-i engine that generates 18.7 BHP at 8500 rpm and 17.5 Nm at 7000 rpm, although its suspension is a tad harsh. The engine of the Bajaj Avenger Cruise 220 is connected to a five-speed gearbox, which is the same old five-speed unit gearbox. It has a fuel tank size of 13 litres and an ARAI-claimed flue economy of 38 kmpl; thus, leading to a longer riding range on the highways. It travels in a straight course effortlessly, but it does not lean swiftly or change routes smoothly. This motorcycle now has a fuel injection system.

The Bajaj Avenger Cruise 220 is powered by a 220cc engine that delivers 38 km/pl to the rider.

The tyre combination of the Bajaj Avenger Cruise 220 has been calibrated in a way that the bike remains confidence-inspiring over the highways. The rear tyre is 130/90 -15 in size and comes with dual shock absorbers. The front tyre is 90/90 -17 in size. Its seat is composed of high-quality materials that make the journey comfortable for both the rider and the pillion passenger. Auburn Black and Moon White are the two colours available for this bike. Both of the colours are stunning. Additionally, the ride quality has improved because of the tyre size and better brakes. 

The Bajaj Avenger Cruiser has generic safety and braking features and does not introduce anything noteworthy.
