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.



). The attention to details (though small ones), must be applauded. The colours are attractive too. Regardless of the bike's mechanicals, this new Avenger series is going to sell like hot cakes. Bajaj has got the pricing right too. Also Bajaj has opened up a new 150cc cruiser (if you can call it that) platform. The 150 looks cool and will cost much lesser. I mean a cruiser like bike for 75k ex showroom? People are so going to throng the showrooms. It will be an instant hit amongst the youth who want to look cool but not do not want to end up spending a fortune for buying and maintaining a cruiser like bike. Yamaha tried this in the past but didn't fair well since they brought it at the wrong time. A decent facelift by bajaj but the Avenger is still a far cry from being a true cruiser.
