Does it really ride comfortable for extended trips on the Avenger 180?

As someone who has done a 500km trip on an Avenger 180, I can say it’s pretty damn comfortable. The position is laid back for cruising, and I had no back pain after hours on the road.

Comfortable? Maybe for the first hour. After that, it's torture. On long rides footpeg position gets uncomfortable and the seat is too soft. City use is fine, but not for touring.

It depends on your body type. It fits me perfectly, I'm 5'8'. Although my taller friend hates it. You just need to test ride it for at least an hour before you decide.

It's comfortable, but with mods. I added a back rest and changed the handle bar position a bit. It is perfect now for my weekend trips.

In a weird way, it’s comfortable. It's not the most ergonomic, but the riding position just seems right for long rides. I can't explain it but I love it.
So, why hasn’t Bajaj updated the Avenger series significantly in years?

Bajaj is playing it safe, I believe. Why fix what ain't broke when the Avenger sells decently with little to no marketing? They are their backup singer that keeps the show going while they pay attention to their KTM rockstars.

If you ask me, it’s pure laziness. They have the tech and the resources to make the Avenger amazing but they are just milking an old design. They are missing out on a huge cruiser market.

My theory? It's big, whatever they are planning. Or, maybe they are working on some sort of a complete overhaul and don’t want to waste resources on small updates. At least, that's what I hope!

It's probably a cost thing. Major updates would make the price go up, and the Avenger is their budget cruiser. It is keeping it available for entry level buyers.

I think it's just a branding issue. The Pulsars and KTMs are supposed to be the sporty brand of Bajaj. The Avenger might dilute that image if you invest too much in it. That’s sad, but it’s business.
Is the Avenger 150 in need of a major update, or is Bajaj just ignoring it?

Bajaj is definitely neglecting the Avenger. There haven't been any real updates in years. They have to be given a new engine and given some modern features to keep running with.

At the very least, they should update the instrument cluster and add ABS. Without changing the character of the bike, small changes could make a big difference.

Bajaj might be more focused on their Triumph partnership. I don't expect major updates to the Avenger anytime soon.

I wish they would make an Avenger 250 with the Dominar engine. That could breathe tons of new life into the lineup.

The Avenger's fine as is. There are bikes that don’t need constant updates. Don’t fix what isn’t broken.

They should give it a retro modern update as Royal Enfield did with the Classic 350. Modernize the tech, but keep the spirit.
Is the Avenger 150 more customizable than most other cruisers?

For the price, the Avenger's pretty customizable. Many choices for seats, handlebars, and exhausts. Not Harley-level, but decent.

The aftermarket scene is limited compared to Royal Enfields, but it’s OK. You’re capable of doing basic mods but nothing too crazy.

I’ve seen some really cool custom avengers. It can stand out with creativity. It’s a great canvas for DIY mods.

To be honest, it's not great customization. Can be expensive relative to the bikes cost and can be limited in choice. Better to keep it stock.
