Reviews of Bajaj Avenger Cruise 220

The best thing about avenger I found is it's comfortable to ride. Second handling is so easy will hardly be found in other bikes. Third, its speed and control are very good. Last but not least its styling very unique. Avenger is good for everyone anybody can handle it easily. The only one thing I am missing in this bike is a tubeless tyre and double abs rest everything is good.

About the Reviewer

Riding "feels like god" for real. It's a delight to ride it with the immense torque it provides and the great stability and control the company has managed to acquaint. The braking is fabulous even though it doesn't have a rear disc brake and even in an emergency braking situation, it's easy to control with skidding tyres too! mine is the cruise 220 model so it obviously has a great, rich and luxurious look with the front windshield (visor) installed. I reached a speed of 130 km/h once and then had to slow down due to fear honestly. Even at high speeds of >100 km/h, it doesn't feel like you are reaching the limit of the bike. The rider's seat is fabulously comfortable! the rear back-rest is some real comfortable addition. Headlights are really powerful and reliable! servicing at the authorized service stations is a smooth process and there isn't much need of servicing felt even when the time arrives. The battery has performed awesome till now as well. One issue though is the braking sound that starts coming in the rainy season and goes only once you get it fixed during servicing. Also, buying experience was a little troublesome at the showroom; they took more time than they at first had stated. Pros of buying are many and I've already stated most above except another benefit that unlike royal enfields, it doesn't require so much of maintenance and doesn't vibrate excessively. Also it has some useful meters such as the trip-meter and fuel gauge which are both missing even in the latest 2017 royal enfields. Cons are just the rear brake sound, rear drum brakes instead of disc brakes (however that doesn't trouble me) and most importantly, lack of storage space and a safe helmet lock.

About the Reviewer

Its a amazing bike at given price, thanks to bajaj, providing such a wonderful design at this price. Every saturday morning, me, my wife and small kid, start our ride from electronic city to any direction in bangalore. We enjoy the comfort of sitting and absorption of jerks by the flexible absorbers. My son loves this bike and waits for saturday for whole week to have a long ride with us.

About the Reviewer

I have been riding this bike for daily 100 km. Service center is not good but bike is giving me super comfort on highway. You got a decent power and good handling. if you love to travel also you can have this. I have reached 500km in one day with my bike. Service experience is too bad for me and all other avenger bike user. Thank you

About the Reviewer

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.

About the Reviewer

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.

Hi, I have purchased this dream bike on 27/03/2016.Since that i have driven this bike 32000 km approx. Here i want to share my 3 years experience for new buyers and hope this will be helpful...1.Buying experience. This bike is simply superb that gave me complete pleasure when i ride this, worth buying this with reasonable price tag.Good experience with bajaj people also.2.Riding experience. Riding on this bike is really "feel like god" experience.I have driven this bike so many times 270-300 km/day. After riding for such a long distance i haven't feel any extreme fatigue or discomfort.You will love to ride this beauty for long drive because the sitting posture is really keep you comfortable, handlebars are in good position to give you joy of cruising.3.Details about looks, performance etc.The overall appearance of this bike is cool.The looks make you distinctive in crowd. The looks of this bike compelled others to turn their head towards you.The big 220cc engine will give enough power for fast ride,but i love to ride this bike between 50-60 kmph that give me ultimate feeling of joyful ride on highways.Completely steady on highways and well comfortable on hilly roads.The exclusive use of chrome, perfect round headlamp, attractive backrest, fatty wheel, unique windshield, combo of disk-drum break offer effective breaking, perfect riding posture, quite comfortable seat cushion gives a complete cruise feel to you and cruiser looks to this beautiful bike.4.Servicing and maintenance. Definitely single hand use and riding within limit will give long life to this bike."no rough driving" is accepted.Maintenance is quite affordable as compare to other bike of this segment.Time to time servicing is must and checking of engine oil and battery water is required (after 30k km ride).5.Pros : Good looks.Full of power.Great riding posture.Ultimate riding experience.Cushion needs to improve. Tubeless tyres are need of the hour.
