Reviews of Bajaj Avenger Cruise 220

I have owned my avenger 220 since 2016. Years ago I had a royal enfield machismo too on which i travelled 300-400 kms a day several times and used to think that is more than enough for a cruiser of that segment but this bike has proven me wrong and changed my concept forever. Believe me friends, once I drove 998 kms (from Delhi to siwan) in just 16 hours with a break for lunch of an hour at lucknow without tiredness.
At this price it feels a real cruiser. Decent and dynamic looks with comfortable seating posture which makes it a first choice for those who love touring on bikes. Long wheel base and wide rear tyre hold it stable and balanced on highways even over 100 km/h of speed.
Spare parts and servicing cost are also very reasonable. Oil cooled engine needs only 1.2 l of engine oil.
After hitting century of petrol mileage is the only thing that can put you in doubts but be clear guys you can cruise upon this 40 kms easily on highway with full speed.
So if you want to feel the pleasure of a harley davidson in lesser price (than a re) just go for it without second thought.

About the Reviewer

I bought avenger 220 cruise in December 2020 and I am amazed to see its performance.
I heard about that this bike is only for long route but believe me I am riding form past 1.5 years, I found no such issue, yes its turning radius is bit more as compare to other but it hardly troubles.
Best part :
1) unmatched comfort.( I ride 325 km in a single day but didn't feel like)
2) average is around 35 to 40 km/l in city and 45 km/l on highway. (what else you expect from 220cc engine)
3 ) low maintenance.
4) vibrations are very less, it starts above 95 (though less)
5) chrome work that provides a stunning look to the bike stunning.
6) blue light in digital console meter makes the bike unique from others.
Improvements requires (in my view):
1) there is no tubeless tyre, although I didn't find any difficulty till now but yes if company will provide this in future, it will like cherry on the cake.
2) pillion seat is not much comfortable, less space provided for pillion rider.
3) company should provide double channel abs, right now this bike is having single channel abs.
At the last I would recommend this bike as I have a pleasant experience & moreover the price range is very good although some improvements are required which I have mentioned above but still this bike is value for money and no one is going to disappoint after riding this powerful bike.

About the Reviewer

The bike is quite expensive but it is value for money. The avenger 220 cruise has an amazing and powerful 220cc engine which rides to smooth on roads. You should buy this bike if you love to go on long drives. Don't buy this bike if you live in a congested area or a populated city it may harm you as it is very powerful bike you might buy avenger street if you live in populated cities.The bike gives pleasure to body and mind but riding for hours may make pain in your wrists. The turning radius of avenger is too large it may cause problem. It has a air cooled engine.It has a good life.

Pickup and well is service. Parts condition is absolutely .No noise on riding. Easy and smooth gear changes. Cruise seat comfort ability have no comparison in segment of bikes.

About the Reviewer

Style its a great styling created originally by kawasaki. Evern harley street 750 / 500 are rougtly modeled on this design.

Engine performance, fuel economy and gearbox good engine but i was expecting a ktm tuned up 200 and 390 engines. That would have been great and a real challange for harley 500.

Ride quality & handling good for city as well as highways.

Areas of improvement i am disappointed. Just cosmetic changes after such a long wait. No tubeless tyres is a real surprise and a huge disappointment. Particulalry for a cruiser. No allow wheels either.

They could have given the ktm 390 and 200 engines just like they are doing for rs200 and cs 400. That would have been a dream bike. Buit they lost the opportunity. I have been waiting but will have to go for bullet now. The problem is that even bullet has no tubeless tyres.

Pros

everything

cons

no bigger engine. No tubeless tyres

I had an avenger 180cc 2006 model. Last year I bought avenger 220 cruises because 180 had a good run. 220 cruise bike is still an old technology bike with single-channel abs.
I'm a 6ft guy and my daily commute is 45-50 km and my occasional rides like 200-300km long.
This bike chain sprocket is replaced within 10 months at 3200rs cost at bajaj service center. The service center is also expensive. Free service was also costing around 2000rs. The break pads changed twice. Too much engine vibration. You can literally feel your leg shaking. After 1 year above 80km the bike becomes a vibrator. Suspension is not that great. Also, it's a tubed tyre so if it is punctured by a nail and dragged for a while you will have to change the tube. That’s expensive as hell. 400-500rs for tube and outer tyre patchwork. The fuel indicator is so bad it displays low when you still have 5-6 ltr of petrol.
Bajaj, I think it's time to upgrade the technology or close this bike production.
I regret that I bought it.
