The Avenger Cruise 220 is one of the most accessible options for people looking for a quintessential, low-slung, long-wheelbase cruiser. However, it’s also long in the tooth for it hasn’t received a major update since its inception. It’s quite basic in terms of features and the hardware and engine are slightly dated now.
With a pulled-back handlebar and forward-set footpegs, the Avenger Cruise offers laidback seating ergonomics. The seat is also quite spacious and is suitable for individuals with all kinds of build. Plus, with a low seat height of 737mm, it’s accessible even for shorter riders. The feature list includes a round LCD instrument cluster and LED headlamp and tail lamp.
Powering the bike is a 220cc, single-cylinder, oil-cooled, twin-spark, SOHC motor that produces 18.7bhp of power at 8,500rpm and 17.5Nm of peak torque at 7,000rpm. The engine is linked to a five-speed gearbox. Shock absorption duties are handled by telescopic forks with double anti-friction bush at the front and five-step adjustable twin springs at the back. Anchoring power comes from a 280mm disc at the front and a 130mm drum brake at the rear. The safety net on the motorcycle includes single-channel ABS.

I had an Avenger 220 cruise model from 2016, and I sold it in 2022. During this time, I rode it mostly for fun and occasional commutes, so the total distance covered was 5500km. During my ownership, I faced multiple issues:1. The bike's braking system was hazardous. The rear tyre skidded on wet roads, even when I applied the brakes lightly. Moreover, the grip was so bad that the entire bike skidded and fell on a muddy road at 5 kmph. 2. In the first month of ownership, I noticed rusting on silencer covers and disc brakes, along with the nuts holding the frame together. The oil indicator always showed wrong petrol availability, it increased slightly when the bike speed was increased, and showed low while standing still. The service center could not fix this issue.3. The main reason I am calling this bike unreliable is that it automatically turned off cruising at 80 kmph. I was returning from work at night, and had driven barely 5km on the highway, when the engine suddenly turned off in the middle of the flyover. Thankfully, there was no traffic behind me, so I was safely able to drive to the side. Then I have to drag it to the service center to get it fixed. Turned out, the battery went down. And the reason for that was the alternator failing to recharge the battery.4. The service was equally pathetic. I tried 3 service centers.Center 1 charged me for 3 Teflon coatings, but did it only 2 times. Once the tail light broke and I wanted to buy the part from them, they called me in, and charged me labor cost of 40rs to replace the taillight (cost rs 80), which I told them that I'll do it myself, but they ignored me. Center 2 was decent, but they delayed the service of my bike for 3 days. Center 3 was also alright, but they couldn't replace the alternator for my bike, due to which, my bike was standing still for 2 months, until they got the part and replaced it. So my suggestions would be to be cautious while buying Bajaj bikes. Not reliable, part availability issues, low-quality parts, and subpar service centers will always be areas of concern. Better go with other reliable manufacturers for your peace of mind.

Avenger - Really Felt Like God
12 weeks ago
Sai Saravanan
When I was buying this bike, had a confusion whether I should go for a street model or the cruise model as both were available in the 220cc segment. Finally, decided to buy a Cruise 220cc and I have been using this bike for more than 7 years and 60000kms crossed. No major failures or replacements in core engine parts. Still gives me 40kmpl on highways and 36 to 38kmpl in city traffic. Also, the bike gives good control over city traffic. Unlike other cruisers in the same segment, this bike has less vibrations and more stability. The braking system is good. Overall, the Avenger 220 cruise is worth your money.

Good for short people
14 weeks ago
Azahaan
Riding experience is great. The engine feels good in the initial and mid-range. gearbox could have been better and when riding on the highway you will definitely feel the need for another gear(it has only 5 gears it would be better if there were 6). Seat height is good for short people but if you have long legs you might feel uncomfortable. Only problem I faced was the rear seat for passenger I couldn't comfortably sit on the bike for even 50kms straight and it was not just me my friends had the same problem too rider seat on the other hand is really great no issues so far.

The rear passenger seat is not comfortable and the chain system is not good. Chain noise is much. Many times need oil on the chain or spray. Service agencies are not good, they only make money, no customer satisfaction. As per the price bike is not very comfortable.Bajaj never responded to any query or complaints, even no reply by mail.

If Comfort is your Primary

Victor George Jeyapaul
This bike is all about comfort. However not to forget that the city ride comfort is not up to the mark. Highway, this is one of the best bikes for comfort even ride and handling as well. That doesn't mean you cannot take it on city rides, it manages it well. The engine refinement is little noisy with short gears that demands frequent gear shift according to the speed. Overall, this bike gives good riding experience but not the great experience.

Daily and Highway Usage. An absolute beast
22 weeks ago
Anshuman Das
An awesome bike, take it on highways, city, or anywhere you want to. I used to ride Delhi-Himachal-Delhi, Himachal-Uttarakhand-Himachal and now I am traveling daily from Delhi to Sonipat and back. Absolutely comfortable. You need not accelerate till 65 KMPH (Gear changes will do the trick). Remains still up to 95 KMPH.

Worst bike ever Avenger 220
48 weeks ago
Abhishek Singh
Worst bike ever purchased. Owned this bike for 9 years and I spent almost the amount I purchased it.. Vibrations engine parts are damaged every 2 to 3 months. I spent loads of money on this bike but was never satisfied. Not recommend this bike to anyone. I have one smart hero better than this Avenger 220. didn't spend more than 1k on that bike in 8 years.

Worst bike don't purchase
50 weeks ago
Amol Korde
Worst bike. In Summer need to remove air every time from the petrol tank to run smoothly & rain, it's too slippery because there is no weight on the front tire & in winter it doesn't start unless & until you have to push through the slope and get started by putting in gear they don't have kick start option..I have been using this bike for the last five years with the headache.

Petrol overflow was not mentioned, and servicing charges were too much. The break light not working since the day I purchased the bike. The service center never checked and also didn't inform me. Will never recommend it to my friends and relatives.

Essentially a bajaj discover 125 disguised as 220 cruiser.
2 years ago
Random
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.
