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.

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.

> 15000 kms

Change Oil every 5000 km or 6 months. And regular service.

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.

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.

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.

Low Maintenance, High performance

By KT @ Aug 24, 2021 09:02 PM

Have been using for 2 years now. One strech 200 kms is doable hassle free. If tyres, Schoks and with alignment and servicing in place, Can be a good off roader in the segment. Caution :- Very Risky in high speed because of weight and no ABS in older models.. Value for money.

Turning is a nightmare

By Sojan @ Mar 24, 2021 07:18 PM

This bike is designed for long rides with comfortable and low seating position, however when you turn the bike in a rough road/off road, the handle act like a bicycle handle and have tendency to be waitless and to push upwards, to be very careful otherwise you will skid. But only good thing is your seat is too low so can balance easly.

Back seat dimension need more width like indian chef

By Manikandan @ Feb 17, 2021 04:14 PM

I baught it on Jan 14 2021, while taking delivery side box not fixed properly, the design need to changes like HD or Indian scout look, colors are to be added like royal enfield, back rest and seat need more cushion, ABS need on front and back. OVERALL IT IS OK.

Issue in gear shifting

By Manju @ Jan 23, 2020 11:13 PM

I bought my Dream bike on 22/03/18. b4 that i used other bike CBR 150, Frazer but still I had crush on Average bike. Aft I took bike in short period I got issue in gear shifting I informed in each service but it's not rectified. Finally in 2019 jan I got call from saying that some manufacturing defect so please visit authorised service centre as per there instruction I visit and they said it's minor issue it will take 1hr. Aft I came & see they opened engin i asked how can open engine they said router* replacement ( I don't know exact name of that) I don't know what to say with disappointment. 1. Gear shutting; Main issue I can't shift gear when I need boz of that am not confident to over take other vehicles. 2. Rear drum Break: it's very bad if I need to apply I have to push harder (it's not break liner issue I changed and tried) 3. Slippery: if I apply rear break in 40 to 45km it's not stop in short distance its slip like sand on road even road is perfect. Compare to 100cc bike. 100cc bikes are easily stop in short distance but not 220cc that too having big tyre. Below issues are minor problems but still I'm mentioning. 4. Break sound: from day one to till now I get irritate when ever I apply rear break. 5. Head light: it's not focus like other bike & scooters. 6. No pass light option for high beam (Dim & up button)

I love my bike. I have avenger 220 cruise gold 2016 model. Its covered 18000kms now. And still i have no issues with my bike. But i got very very poor service from nearest service center. They are too irresponsible. They denied my vehicle's warranty and said that "you can complain to bajaj directly if u need".. They even dont know how to behave..! I'm too dissatisfied in service of "Grand Bajaj, Thrissur, Kerala" Avenegr is the best vehicle for comfort long ride, but we all customers are forced to go for local workshops.

Don't buy Avenger cruise 220

By Kirthy @ Oct 03, 2019 08:05 AM

I bought new Avenger cruise with digital display below are the major issues. Please Don't buy this 1. The petrol indicator in digital display is wrong for all bikes(Manufacture defect). At times it shows half full even when it is empty. 2. Even though it is a very new bike. There is always sound in disc brakes and I understand nothing can be done to resolve this.you will not feel a new bike experience bcoz of this. 3. Gear lever is very lenghty. Even for tallest person both front and back of lever will not fit within your feet. 4. Very poor mileage. Not more than 30km even if tuned. 5. No space to keep even the bike documents. 6.The side flap where the battery is located doesn't lock well and there will be a gap.

2016 Bajaj Avenger Street and Cruise 220 Review

2016 Bajaj Avenger Street and Cruise 220 Review: Two variants in the 220cc category aims to target multiple audience with single platform

The Bajaj Avenger is now the talk of the town. We recently tested all three variants and have given our verdict on the Avenger 150 Street. The new Avengers are based on the same platform as before but have been heavily revised in every single way. Today we talk about the Street and Cruise 220 that we sampled as well. Bajaj says they want to now want to sell 15,000 units a month instead of 4,000 units a month which Bajaj was doing over the past with just one variant of the Avenger.

Bajaj has made two 220cc variants. A chrome laden, for cruiser lovers called the Cruise 220. For the urban crawler and one with the sporty blood, the Street 220 is here with more sporty appeal to it. How do they fair and what are the differences we find out!

Bajaj Avenger 220 Prices (Ex-Showroom New Delhi):

Street 220: Rs.85,497 Cruise 220: Rs.85497

When it come to styling, the Cruise 220 is hard to look at the day. Either you need glares or park in shade because the sun constantly gleaming on endless amount of chrome can cause damage to your eyes. It is strictly advised to park in shade or stay in showroom walls when you go ahead to buy one. Chrome is every where, right from handlebar weight ends to exhaust, to the horn cover for goodness sakes!

Overall styling remains the same, but there tit bits are changed such as the grab handle aka back rest seat mount. Chrome spoke wheels, engine guard, footpegs, subframe bolt cover, everything else in chrome. The new badge of the Avenger series though clearly reminds of the Kawasaki age emblem that both brands made. Pin stripes on the tank, while riding, makes it look like a authentic cruiser indeed.

Everything on the street on the other hand though is matte black and has pin stripes in red. It has alloys instead of spoke wheels. Gators on the fork to prevent that bit of chrome too, a black exhaust with brushed aluminum forged cover and is just devoid of the backrest that the Cruise gets as standard for sportier, lonelier appeal.

Common derivatives include same headlamp, tail lamp and cycle parts which are painted black instead of chrome finished. We wished the levers and side stand on the Street variants were black instead of the chrome seen on all three Avengers. Overall, like we said before.

Attention to detail is clearly seen on these Avengers and hence this evolution in design is devoid of criticism, there still is but not as much. However, Bajaj could have done better with Street on tiny tit bits make it look more focused in small areas as critical areas are covered. Fit-finish on the other hand and quality all around is better than before, and it was good in the past as well.

Speedo And Switchgear

Cluster wise both bikes are the same. Single trip meter along with odometer on the LCD meter along with the speedometer that does the swipe when you click on the key, which is located below your thighs when you sit. Handle lock is seen on the handlebar in front of the rider. Third lock is for the petrol tank.

Rest of the warning lights such as battery, turn-indicator, neutral, high beam are located on the tank panel that is matte black but the switch area is piano black for Street 220 and chrome for Cruise 220. The warning lights are difficult to read as you complete distract yourself completely from the road to look at it.

It’s a comfortable bike indeed. Footpegs are front set and seat is wider and much more cushioned than before for the rider. Pillion seat remains pretty much similar as before. Handlebar is main difference and infact the only difference these bikes have mechanically. The Cruise 220 has a higher set handlebar which falls to hand immediately. Mirrors are good but the adjustability is very limited and at higher speeds the vibrations don’t allow you see what’s behind, that is mostly after 120 km/hr hour.

The Street is not a stretch despite the fact is flatter and wider handlebar. Cruise is a good notch easier to navigate in town, but the Street isn’t far behind either as it more communicative and quicker to inputs. In short, the Cruise is for the lazier and elderly person and Street is for the youth.

Performance

Powering both the Street 220 and Cruise 220 are identical engines. 220cc 2-valve motor makes 19 PS @ 8400 RPM and 17.5 Nm of torque @ 7000 RPM. The numbers are lower than the Pulsar 220 and stay identical to the previous Avenger 220cc engine. The engine is now very smooth lower down in the rev range and the power delivery is linear but has a hint sportiness throughout the rev range to keep that Bajaj characteristic intact to an extent, which is basically being brash at the top of the rev range.

Throttle response has seen a great change in the way the engine responds to inputs, as it is much quicker than before. Low end torque is really good and pulls well enough in the mid range, but not like new age Pulsar engines, which have pin point precise mid range acceleration.

However, it is the top-end when it cams get alive and post 100 km/hr it just keeps on pulling till 130 km/hr given the road conditions.

We even saw 140 km/hr while being slightly ducked. NVH levels are very good than before, but at the top while redlining you do get vibes, but only at the pegs and not at the handlebars due to heavy bar-end weights installed. All of this is thanks to the taller four gears and short first gear, one could achieve this type of power band.

Fuel economy should rise a bit and should be around the same 35 km/l mark. Clutch is now very progressive and consistent in operation and gearbox is really good over the past, when compared. Overall, a much more easier engine to live with when in comparison of day one when the 220cc carb engine was born.

The same tyres, suspension and chassis setup continues with the Avenger Cruise and Street 220. Only difference between the two mechanically is the handlebar. Cruise handlebar makes it easier to maneuver because it is raised. The Street 220, thanks to its flatter and wider handlebar allows for sporting riding and helps in riding enthusiastically much quicker. Handling is good, grip is enough, cornering clearance is also good, but you can get naughty and obvious and scrape the footpegs if you want.

Turn in relatively quick and the rake is fairly and oddly satisfying for the Avenger series. Where it scores best is the suspension setup along with the linear engine makes sure suspension does it job well and doesn’t through tantrums. It feels a lot tauter, tighter and responsive when it comes to chassis feedback.

Ride quality is quite stiff and isn’t hard and Bajaj says there will be no bottoming out and we saw the same on medium speed and low speed breakers. Brakes are the best part, as they Bybre and not endurance. Good initial bite and there is progressive braking as well after that with good feedback from lever and stopping power is in abundance.

However, rear brakes don’t feel great on the 220 as they did on the Street 150 for reasons. It’s the engine which was the made suspension work much better than before and icing on the cake is rebound and damping has been adjusted too. High speed stability as always is very good and front stays planted.

One criticism we have is the rear is softer and does need stiffing or better tyres to cut that part to an extent. Overall, by cruiser standards, the Avenger does it job very well indeed.

Bajaj Avenger Street and Cruise 220 Specification

2016 bajaj avenger street and cruise 220 review verdict.

The Avenger doesn’t have much competition to fight. Sure there are touring motorcycles from the same stable. If cruiser’s isn’t your thing you can get AS 150 and 200. If you don’t want either of these you can look at the Hero Karizma which have similar engines and outputs. But the recent one’s have lost the charm of the old one in every single way. This is theoretically a shootout between the Cruise and Street 220 itself.

Jokes apart, it is just the styling which sets them apart and the handlebar. Street 220 directly appeals to the enthusiast first and last he would choose. Cruise is for people who wear sunglasses all the time, to avoid the glare from the chrome everywhere and they need it too because the Cruise 220 attracts a lot of attention, including the all mighty sun. Bajaj clearly than has distinguished these products very smartly then and its up to you to decide. Fear the black or shine like a star.

2016 Bajaj Avenger Prices: Rs. 84,000/- Ex-Showroom (New Delhi)
