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.

Best 220 CC Cruiser Bike

By Khushank Singh @ Sep 11, 2020 08:05 AM

I am Riding this bike from 2 years there is no issue still performing well like new. Every bikes has some disadvantages which are to be neglected or fixed. Best bike for Ladakh road trip. If you buying cruise 220 just buy some extra tubes or switch to tubeless.

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)

By Kshitij Vyas @ Dec 22, 2019 12:18 PM

It's been a year I am riding Avenger 220 cruise, crossed 25000km till now ....and bike is performing well....the seating is best for longer routes.......driven off road too it went well. Max speed reached 130........ average 40 sometimes 45 .......only one thing bajaj cam improve in this bike which is self start gear....yes this doesn't come with a kick so they need to more powerful self start system.

worst service & response from showroom & Bajaj Auto Ltd

By Raghuram B N @ Nov 26, 2019 10:08 PM

I have Purchased Bajaj Avenger Cruise 220 2018 Model. vechicle runned 13000 kms, exactly 1 year till Now more then 30 Times vehicle as been serviced, From Ananth Bajaj(Showroom) in Magadi Road Kamakshipalya Bangalore. today also its in showrrom for service. so i have very bad experience with Bajaj Vehicle. really very very worst service & Response from Bajaj Auto Ltd.

Best bike for riding but worst service center

By Vipin K Antony @ Nov 26, 2019 10:08 PM

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.

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..

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?

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.

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?

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.

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?

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

If a very comfortable bike,every time in every were it's very useful bike

According to

I love this bike so much

Bad things of bike:-

the worst is that bajaj has opted out kick start from all their variants...Worst decision by bajaj. (the old users of bajaj avenger is not looking for current options of avenger due to only this reason, even though they like this bike). As the older existing users all know what an important option they have ignored.

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

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.

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.

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.
