Bajaj Auto launched the Avenger series comprising of the Cruise 220, Street 220 and Street 150. The Bajaj Avenger had been pushing decent units, even though the company had not being focussing on the Avenger series. Finally Bajaj Auto has woken up and launched a range of motorcycles under the Avenger brand.
The Avenger 220 Cruise retains the classic cruiser comfort and looks. The all new Avenger Street range is designed for easy city riding. The Avenger Street 150 has been introduced to bring the genuine cruiser experience to the large set of emerging 150cc users.
The Avenger 220 Cruise comes with a liberal dose of chrome highlights thanks to a new radiator, redesigned side grabs, stylized silencer and an all new handlebar. The Avenger 220 Cruise comes with a padded backrest and an optional windshield for easy cruising on highways.
While the Cruise is chrome, the Avenger 220 Street is more stealthy with a matte black and brushed silver finish. The 150 Street comes in midnight blue. The Avenger Street has a new, lower and flatter handlebar for better maneuverability in city riding. The Street series is all set to take on the city challenges on weekdays and go on long easy rides on weekends.
The new Avengers come with a brand new insignia, new graphics and styling cues, improved rear suspension, bright white light headlamps, clear lens indicators and low slung seats with thicker dual density foam for superior riding comfort.
The Avenger 220’s come with Bajaj’s trusted 220 cc DTSi engine to deliver great performance statistics – 19 PS power and excellent low to mid-range grunt with torque of 17.5 Nm. The bikes come with an oil cooler to help this hi-performance engine maintain engine oil temperature & viscosity irrespective of external riding conditions. The Avenger 150 Street’s engine is a 150 cc DTSi, which has been completely revised for this bike: it delivers 14.5 PS of power and a torque of 12.5 Nm which is enhanced at low rpms, making it an excellent match for the Avenger riding style.
