Bajaj Avenger 220 Review
Detailed Review by Maxabout Team
Overview
The Bajaj Avenger Cruise 220 has established itself as one of India's most reasonably priced cruiser motorcycles. One of the most distinguishing features of the Bajaj Avenger Cruise 220 is its comfortable seating posture and powerful yet reliable engine, which is backed up by Bajaj's extensive service network. Bajaj recently updated the Bajaj Avenger Cruise 220 with a BS6 avatar to comply with India's strict emission norms. Except for mechanical upgrades, the BS6 version of the Avenger Cruise 220 has brought some significant changes to the cruiser bike.
Bajaj Avenger 220 Cruise Design and Style
The Bajaj Avenger Cruise 220's styling is inspired by large cruisers such as Harley Davidson. It has a vintage Cruiser vibe to it and has a symmetrical body. Its large windscreen is appealing and because of its telescopic fork at break angle, it has a cruiser appearance. The radiator, horn, exhaust, front and rear turn signals, mirror, and area near the pillion seat all have a lot of chrome on this Avenger Cruise 220. It's so shiny in the sunlight because it's made of so much chrome. The fuel tank contributes to the cruiser look; the way it flares out forms a teardrop shape, and it is topped with a large chrome piece that includes a tell-tale light, a fuel filler cap, and a minimalistic instrument cluster that is fully digitally situated above the chrome piece. It has a single-piece long seat with a backrest for the pillion seat, which is comfortable and adequate.
Bajaj Avenger 220 Cruise Engine and Gearbox
The Bajaj Avenger Cruise 220's engine is comparable to that of the well-known Pulsar 220F. The Bajaj Avenger Cruise 220 is powered by a 220cc DTS-i engine with fuel injection that produces 19.03 HP at 8500 rpm and 17.55 Nm at 7000 rpm. The Bajaj Avenger Cruise 220's BS6-compliant engine is mated to a five-speed gearbox, which is the same old five-speed unit gearbox. It travels in a straight line with ease, but it does not lean quickly or change directions smoothly.
Bajaj Avenger 220 Cruise Suspension, Brakes and Tyres
The tubular double-cradle frame supports the Bajaj Avenger Cruise 220. It has telescopic forks with double anti-friction brushes at the front and hydraulic type 5-step adjustable twin shock-absorbers at the rear for suspension duties. The Cruise 220 has a single-channel ABS system with a 280mm disc in front and a 130mm drum in the back. The travel of the rear suspension has been increased by 12% for 2018, resulting in better ride quality on Indian roads. The 17-inch front and 15-inch rear spoke wheels are fitted with 90-section and 130-section tyres, respectively.
Instrument Console of Bajaj Avenger 220 Cruise
The instrument cluster is a fully digital unit that displays the speedometer, odometer, trip metre, and a slew of other useful data. The Avenger Cruise 220 lacks a few features for a motorcycle that looks as poised as this one. The primary instrument cluster is circular and fully digital, and it contains a wealth of data that allows the rider to make informed decisions while on the road or at a stop. The lack of a tachometer makes it impossible for the rider to determine which RPM he or she is currently at, which is inconvenient. There is also a secondary display panel with warning lights (indicators, high beam, neutral, ABS, and low battery warning). However, its functionality is jeopardised due to its disorganised placement on the fuel tank.
Key Features of Bajaj Avenger 220 Cruise
The Bajaj Avenger 220 Cruise is designed in the same manner as the other members of the Avenger bike family. Because this is the Cruise model, it has a large windshield, a lot of chrome, and spoke rims. Unlike the Avenger 160, the Avenger 220 Cruise has a fully digital instrument cluster with an odometer, trip metre, clock, fuel gauge, and service due reminder. There are a few telltale lights on the tank's panel. Even though it has LED DRLs, the headlight is still a bulb unit. However, the included braking mechanism works well and gives the rider confidence. For improved stability and control, there are front disc brakes with single-channel ABS, anti-friction tubeless tyres, and a wide rear radial tubeless tyre.
Top Speed and Mileage of Bajaj Avenger 220 Cruise
Bajaj Avenger 220 Cruise has a top speed of 120 km/h and a mileage of 40 km/l. In terms of performance, it can accelerate from 0 to 60 km/h within 5 seconds approximately and 0 to 100 within 13 seconds approximately.
Bajaj Avenger 220 Cruise Colour Options
Bajaj offers the Avenger 220 Cruise Bike in 2 different colours namely Moon White and Auburn Black.

Conclusion
The Avenger Cruise 220 is the ideal motorcycle for a daily city commuter who enjoys getting out on the highway on the weekends. In the city, however, this motorcycle is not the easiest to manoeuvre in tight spaces, but the comfort it provides more than compensates.

This motorcycle's generously slathered chrome and impressive fit and finish give it a premium look that's sure to draw attention wherever you go.
