I have been riding this bike for 4+ years now.

Comfort. 5 stars.I usually drive from vellore to chennai which is~150km that i use to cross without stopping anywhere so you can think with your other bikes within this distance how many times you have to stop to relax your back and burning butt. Lol. It really feels like god/so good.;-).But its not the same for the pillion rider your butt will burn like you are in hell. At first with back rest you will find it very very comfortable but not for so long due to narrow rear seat you will find the burn.As pillion rider my score will be 2 stars since most other bikes even rider will have this comfort only.:p

Control: .4 stars.For control, this bike will always do what you say and you will never lose your control in this bike but the thing is you should know how to tell so one star less.The original back brake comes along with 200 was bad, you have to stand on it to stop but pro biking had later changed mine to 220 type brake system(it cost me 1500rs) with some rework(it looks like original fitment) now its very good.Braking only back brake will skid easily even at less speed at roads with even slight sand on it. So you have to apply both in same phase and it will control its speed even at 120km/h very easily.Its no good for taking curves with high speed and more slanting it will cause waviness and lose control.It will not fall down so easily.Even if you missed your control at some time still you can easily manage it control without falling down.

Handling its very very easy and comfort. I been using this for a quit long time now.But first time when you drive this i can remember my experience, it will take some time to take control of this since you know this bike front wheel is quite long from the rider compare to other bikes.After driving other bikes and first time when you sit on this bike you will feel like your are under earth but later you will find the comfort in it.The gear shifting is so smooth it will never make a noise.Its cruiser so the acceleration is not very good you have to drive in high rpm if you want to race with other bikes.After 80km/h speed it gives vibration but it is still ok to drive to 100km/hr with full control.You could reach top 120km/hr speed very easily but after years it can still reach 110 easily but 120 now hard to reach for me after 5 years.

Fuel conception.3 stars. To my experience and feedback from others it will give 30km/l or max 35km/l even it will move down to 25km/l if your driving is rash(for my driving only 26 - 28 km/l).But its 200cc and most of now a days bikes gives the same. Don't calculate the mileage with reserve to reserve, the reserve don't work at the same point always.

Look.5 stars.The look of this bike i don't know how your friends will tell you but i am sure if you maintain clean with all your chrome parts shining as new with proper maintenance when you go out at least two person will ask you about your bike.For this cost this bike will look like miss world with you. Lol. You should not let the dirt stay on your bike for more than 2 weeks its chrome will start with spots of oxides and if its shining is lost it will look like old mummy when you park it along with other bikes.So its important you clean it at-least twice in a month and in rainy seasons at-least once in a week.

Maintenance: if your don't maintain your bike clean and with proper service its not your choice of bike.This bike requires a lot of maintenance.Chain and sprocket life 15000 - 20000kms. Speedometer have to be replace at 30000km i don't know whether bajaj have kept some lock to stop its working after 30000kms .If its avenger 200 you have to change the brakes to 220 type braking system else the braking is not good.Clutch cable have life not more than 5000kms. First battery you have to change it within 2- 3 years and the new exide dry battery give me life more than 3.5 years now.The main draw back for this bike is, this bike don't have kicker option but i appreciate bajaj effort since my bike haven't given any trouble in starting till now other than the battery dry up problem.At any time it will start with just one press you can relay on this.I had false neutral in between gear 4th & 5th which i had to fix it in pro biking now its ok. Rear tyre is difficult to find since its not common in other bikes so tyre shops don't keep it in stock.Rear brake will always make noise as lorry brake you can make "n" no of maintenance but still it will be the same.

This is not the bike for one who clean and service the bike once in a while.If you maintain this bike well with cleaning and proper periodic maintenance and spare parts changed it is the best bike you will never give-up even for harley.

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.

I want to sell my bike because I have already 2 more two-wheelers that's why the bike's condition is very good only 10700 km driven. I am the first owner of the bike. The bike is very comfortable for driving in the city and on highways. The only cons I felt were that height is quite low for tall people otherwise it's a good package.

The Avenger 220 petrol bike is a true powerhouse on the roads, offering an unmatched combination of performance and precision. A robust 220cc engine delivers an exhilarating ride that's perfect for city commuting and open-road adventures.
The bike's design is a head-turner, featuring a sleek and aerodynamic profile that not only enhances its aesthetic appeal but also contributes to its overall agility. The comfortable seating and ergonomic controls make for a rider-friendly experience, ensuring long journeys are a breeze.
What truly sets the Avenger 220 apart is its exceptional handling. The bike responds with precision to every twist of the throttle, providing a sense of control that's both confidence-inspiring and enjoyable. Whether navigating city streets or taking on winding roads, the Avenger 220 handles it all with ease.
The engine performance is a standout feature, delivering ample power across the entire RPM range. The bike accelerates smoothly, and the responsive braking system ensures a safe and controlled riding experience. Fuel efficiency is noteworthy, making it a practical choice for those who value both power and economy.
Maintenance is a breeze, with reliable build quality ensuring durability over the long haul. The Avenger 220 is not just a bike; it's a statement of power and style on two wheels. For riders seeking a perfect blend of performance, comfort, and striking design, the Avenger 220 petrol bike is an absolute winner. It's a testament to the thrill of the open road and the joy of riding a bike that seamlessly marries power with precision.

Avenger 220, 2011 model. Almost 12 years of experience daily riding. Sometimes long tour. The Longest tour was about 880 km. Awesome experience. Never made me down. Still running well and in good condition. Change Oil every 5000 km to 8000 km or 6 months. And regular service. Look awesome. Best for short-height people.

Overall good package and probably the best yields on the term “value for money”. I have used it in the city and also used it as a single - one way 1300 km long ride; in plain as well as hilly areas; in traffic and on highway roads; always proved to be quite comfortable and reliable ( because maintained well). My love for this bike is always incriminating with each additional experience with it.

Pros:
Value for money.
Avenger never breaks your trust.
Comfortable for pillion riders and older people.
Pocket-friendly in terms of mileage and bike cost.
For long tours, it is super comfortable.
Cons:
Steering in mountain curves.
Spoke wheels and tube-type wheels are a discomfort.
Missing the kick start as in between a tour if the battery gets dead. It's tough to start if you are on a solo trip.

Confortable for both, City and highway.

1)I have been riding this bike for a long and till now I didn't face any issues. I keep my bike up to date from time to time servicing and running. I went from Surat to Lucknow on this 220 cc bike and I can say that in almost every condition this bike is phenomenal. It is very comfortable and refined.
2)Now let's talk about some downsides.
One can feel engine vibrations at high speeds, and the turning radius may be a problem for someone.
Lastly, gear shifting and ground clearance could have been better.
Other than that everything is cool. I have 3 years of amazing experience with this bike.

Essentially a bajaj discover 125 disguised as 220 cruiser.
1 year 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.

Best budget cruiser. Unreal performance without a huge dent on your budget.
1 year ago
Himanshu Suvarna
I purchased my bike in 2017 when the avenger cruise was first launched. It was the perfect design for the avenger although I feel they downgraded the classic look by trying to make it "stylish" after that year. Still, a very beautiful bike and a very unique design compared to the same ghisa-pita designs of res, jawas, h'ness etc. Avenger brings novelty to the bike design in that aspect.
Coming to the riding experience. This is the single most comfortable bike I've ever sat on and the first thing I've noticed that always pops out of the pillion rider's mouth when they sit is, "wow. The backseat is so comfortable", as the backrest for the pillion enhances the experience. There is a point to be noted here. The pillion seat is only comfortable for short commutes. For long rides, it's extremely uncomfortable. The seat for them is very narrow and can cause uncomfortable pains as the ride goes on. The rider seat on the other hand is perfection. I've done a roughly 450 km ride in one sitting with no fatigue or strain by the end of it. The ride was super comfortable.
Coming to the performance side of the bike. It's a killer bike with very good performance. Can go up to 120 kmph safely. Anything more and you will most likely be causing harm to your bike. However, an important point to keep in mind. It's a cruiser end of the day and not a sports bike. So at cruising speeds of 70-80 kmph, it's buttery smooth but once you cross maybe 90-95 kmph, you'll start noticing vibrations. The bike will still remain stable even at high speeds but maybe a pair of biker gloves will definitely be needed to reduce the impact of vibrations while riding. It's got very good acceleration and the performance is killer for the price band. Mileage is another great thing on this bike. Gives around 35-40 kmph easily. Official mileage is 45 kmph though.
One of the star features of this bike is the cost of maintenance. I've seen a few people say maintenance costs them 2500-3500 each visit which surprises me. I only get the bike services at bajaj service centers and it usually costs around 1500. In fact, it has never crossed 2000. Prices of spare parts are dirt cheap. I had a terrible accident once which left heavy damage on one side of the bike but I managed to come out of the service center with a bill only amounting to around 4k by the end of it. The only problem is the quality of service. A lot of bajaj service centres keep ruining the experiences for customers with sub-par services. So what I do now is I check the ratings of service centres in my city and pick the highest-rated ones only. That's one benefit of bajaj service centres. You'll be spoilt for choice. There are usually multiple service centers in a single city. I've had a great experience at such high-rated service centres.
Some people say this bike is difficult to ride in cities. I say that's nonsense. I've been using it in cities and in fact, I regularly go crisscrossing in traffic and I have never faced an issue with this bike. It all comes down to practice and your riding abilities. The turning radius is higher and the bike is longer than most other standard bikes. So trying to make tight corners will be a challenge but I easily maneuver through city traffic with no problem. It's just an over-exaggerated problem in my opinion.
An underrated feature on this bike is its windshield. It's a killer windshield that pushes the wind up in such a great way that I've seen many random things that flew toward the bike usually get redirected immediately due to the flow of the wind over the screen. Plus it gives a very classic look to the bike.

Tips for other riders
Keep servicing it regularly. Make sure it's a well-oiled machine. I've noticed significant improvements in performance right after a service. It's chrome and the metal parts are susceptible to rust if you live in an area with too much rain. Make sure you keep the bike protected from the elements.

So what I do now is I check the ratings of service centres in my city and pick the highest-rated ones only. That's one benefit of bajaj service centres. You'll be spoilt for choice. There are usually multiple service centers in a single city. I've had a great experience at such high-rated service centres.
Some people say this bike is difficult to ride in cities. I say that's nonsense. I've been using it in cities and in fact, I regularly go crisscrossing in traffic and I have never faced an issue with this bike. It all comes down to practice and your riding abilities. The turning radius is higher and the bike is longer than most other standard bikes. So trying to make tight corners will be a challenge but I easily maneuver through city traffic with no problem. It's just an over-exaggerated problem in my opinion.
An underrated feature on this bike is its windshield. It's a killer windshield that pushes the wind up in such a great way that I've seen many random things that flew toward the bike usually get redirected immediately due to the flow of the wind over the screen. Plus it gives a very classic look to the bike.

Keep servicing it regularly. Make sure it's a well-oiled machine. I've noticed significant improvements in performance right after a service. It's chrome and the metal parts are susceptible to rust if you live in an area with too much rain. Make sure you keep the bike protected from the elements.

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.

Bajaj Avenger cruise220 2019 model for sale
14 weeks ago
Umang Gupta
I want to sell my bike because I have already 2 more two-wheelers that's why the bike's condition is very good only 10700 km driven. I am the first owner of the bike. The bike is very comfortable for driving in the city and on highways. The only cons I felt were that height is quite low for tall people otherwise it's a good package.

Avenger 220, 2011 model. Almost 12 years of experience daily riding. Sometimes long tour. The Longest tour was about 880 km. Awesome experience. Never made me down. Still running well and in good condition. Change Oil every 5000 km to 8000 km or 6 months. And regular service. Look awesome. Best for short-height people.

Overall good package and probably the best yields on the term “value for money”. I have used it in the city and also used it as a single - one way 1300 km long ride; in plain as well as hilly areas; in traffic and on highway roads; always proved to be quite comfortable and reliable ( because maintained well). My love for this bike is always incriminating with each additional experience with it.

Pros:
Value for money.
Avenger never breaks your trust.
Comfortable for pillion riders and older people.
Pocket-friendly in terms of mileage and bike cost.
For long tours, it is super comfortable.
Cons:
Steering in mountain curves.
Spoke wheels and tube-type wheels are a discomfort.
Missing the kick start as in between a tour if the battery gets dead. It's tough to start if you are on a solo trip.

1)I have been riding this bike for a long and till now I didn't face any issues. I keep my bike up to date from time to time servicing and running. I went from Surat to Lucknow on this 220 cc bike and I can say that in almost every condition this bike is phenomenal. It is very comfortable and refined.
2)Now let's talk about some downsides.
One can feel engine vibrations at high speeds, and the turning radius may be a problem for someone.
Lastly, gear shifting and ground clearance could have been better.
Other than that everything is cool. I have 3 years of amazing experience with this bike.

Essentially a bajaj discover 125 disguised as 220 cruiser.
1 year 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.

Best budget cruiser. Unreal performance without a huge dent on your budget.
1 year ago
Himanshu Suvarna
I purchased my bike in 2017 when the avenger cruise was first launched. It was the perfect design for the avenger although I feel they downgraded the classic look by trying to make it "stylish" after that year. Still, a very beautiful bike and a very unique design compared to the same ghisa-pita designs of res, jawas, h'ness etc. Avenger brings novelty to the bike design in that aspect.
Coming to the riding experience. This is the single most comfortable bike I've ever sat on and the first thing I've noticed that always pops out of the pillion rider's mouth when they sit is, "wow. The backseat is so comfortable", as the backrest for the pillion enhances the experience. There is a point to be noted here. The pillion seat is only comfortable for short commutes. For long rides, it's extremely uncomfortable. The seat for them is very narrow and can cause uncomfortable pains as the ride goes on. The rider seat on the other hand is perfection. I've done a roughly 450 km ride in one sitting with no fatigue or strain by the end of it. The ride was super comfortable.
Coming to the performance side of the bike. It's a killer bike with very good performance. Can go up to 120 kmph safely. Anything more and you will most likely be causing harm to your bike. However, an important point to keep in mind. It's a cruiser end of the day and not a sports bike. So at cruising speeds of 70-80 kmph, it's buttery smooth but once you cross maybe 90-95 kmph, you'll start noticing vibrations. The bike will still remain stable even at high speeds but maybe a pair of biker gloves will definitely be needed to reduce the impact of vibrations while riding. It's got very good acceleration and the performance is killer for the price band. Mileage is another great thing on this bike. Gives around 35-40 kmph easily. Official mileage is 45 kmph though.
One of the star features of this bike is the cost of maintenance. I've seen a few people say maintenance costs them 2500-3500 each visit which surprises me. I only get the bike services at bajaj service centers and it usually costs around 1500. In fact, it has never crossed 2000. Prices of spare parts are dirt cheap. I had a terrible accident once which left heavy damage on one side of the bike but I managed to come out of the service center with a bill only amounting to around 4k by the end of it. The only problem is the quality of service. A lot of bajaj service centres keep ruining the experiences for customers with sub-par services.
