Bajaj Avenger Street 180 Summary

The Bajaj Avenger Street 180 has replaced the Avenger Street 150 in its lineup. The upgrade means that all Avenger Streets now look similar – the 180 has inherited the 220’s styling, including the black chassis, wheels, forks, exhaust and grab rail. The tank also gets the diagonal stripe from the 220. Although it seems that the Avenger Street 180 shares its engine with the Pulsar 180, the power and torque output are lower than the streetbike, at 15.3bhp and 13.7Nm. There is no rear disc brake available, and ABS is not available. You can have your Avenger 180 in either black or red.

The upgrade from the 150 comes at a price increase of Rs 3,000 over the discontinued model. The Avenger Street 180 competes directly with the Suzuki Intruder 150.

Bajaj Avenger Street 180 Review

  • Good Things

    • Accessible seat height
    • Equipped with modern instrument cluster
    • Quite comfortable during long distance ride
  • Could be Better

    • Quality of parts aren't great
    • Engine vibrations at higher revs

BikeWale's Take

The Avenger 180 is a perfect bike for someone who wants a low-riding stance motorcycle that will also help them do long distance rides. It's loaded with a 180cc engine that is decent in performance, along with great seat. Plus, the cheap Bajaj spares makes the Avenger 180 an easy bike to live with.

Bajaj Avenger Street 180 Expert Opinion

This bike isn’t a tribute to the first Bajaj Avenger, which was launched almost 13 years ago in 2005. Yes, it was a 180cc motorcycle then, but that eventually went on to become the 220cc that we see today. 

What is it?

Why would I buy the Bajaj Avenger 180?

It is good looking, has a remarkable performance and is worth the price.

Why would I avoid the Bajaj Avenger 180?

Engine harshness and no rear disc brake.

No, this bike is not a tribute to the first Bajaj Avenger that was launched more than a decade ago in 2005. Yes, that was also a 180cc motorcycle that eventually went on to become the 220cc one that we see today. But then, this Avenger 180 replaces the ageing Avenger 150 to give the sales a shot in the arm while also tackling its new attention-seeking rival, the Suzuki Intruder 150. The new Avenger 180 promises to offer more value for money and also, it just didn't make sense to retain the outgoing bike. 

How is it to ride?

The Avenger 180 offers what most cruisers are meant to offer- a low-slung design and a relaxed riding position. It is built on the same diamond frame architecture that’s being used since the Eliminator days but is packed with modern cycle parts. The 180cc motor is borrowed from the Bajaj Pulsar 180 but has been re-tuned to churn out less power at 15.4bhp and 13.7Nm. This linear power delivery suits the bike’s character. The strong midrange, which is Bajaj’s forte, makes it easier to cruise through the highway traffic. The motor isn’t the most refined of the lot, but Bajaj has managed to keep the NVH well under control. The vibes starts to kick in post 80kmph, and can be felt mostly on the footpegs. It’s possible to ride the Avenger 180 at 50kmph in the fifth gear but if you go below that, the engine will stall. The Avenger 180 offers a smooth ride between 80kmph and 90kmph. The five-speed gearbox on this bike has been improved quite a lot. Thanks to the light clutch, changing gears on the Avenger 180 is an easy task especially in the maddening city traffic.  

The seating triangle hasn’t changed on the Avenger 180. You sit low with legs stretched out to the front and hands running parallel to the ground. The wide rider’s seat offers a good amount of comfort, thanks to the right cushioning. Despite being the heaviest in the segment, the Avenger 180 feels light on its feet. The right weight distribution also aids manoeuvrability in the city. 

Bajaj has increased the suspension travel at the rear to 108mm from the earlier 98mm. This setup is slightly on the firmer side, but it doesn’t feel unsettled on broken roads. The suspension also absorbs the road undulations pretty well. The 260cc front disc and 130mm drum at the rear does a decent job at stopping the bike. However, the front has a wooden feel on the lever, and the rear one requires some extra effort to use. 

Anything else I should know?

Other than enticing the buyer with a bigger engine, Bajaj has tried to enhance the design of the motorcycle, especially at the front. The new headlamp (which Bajaj likes to call ‘jewel inspired’), blacked-out windscreen and long black fork gaiters do manage to up the bike’s overall appeal. The single seat gets a leather feel but lacks the finesse. Bajaj has done an excellent job at integrating the pillion backrest with the grab rail. This is a result of the constant feedback from its Avenger 150 customers who would have appreciated the presence of a back rest, just like on the Avenger 220 Cruise. 

You should also know that the Avenger 180 doesn’t get the new digital display that’s present on the Avenger 220. Rather, it is fitted with the simple analogue speedometer display with a small LCD display that shows the odometer and a single tripmeter. While the quality of the paint and cycle parts are striking, the switchgear is a big disappointment. The buttons have a tacky feel and show clear signs of cost cutting. 

Should I buy one?

The Avenger 180 is one handsome looking motorcycle and is the most affordable cruiser in India right now. And that makes it too good to be ignored. It has the right combination of cosmetic features to attract even a passer-by to the showroom. With a stronger 180cc motor and some new features, Bajaj has definitely managed to hit the right spot, again. And with all this, the Avenger 180 is dearer than the Avenger 150 by just Rs 4000, which is a fair premium. So if you’re in the market for a good looking affordable cruiser, you know where to go. And if you can spare a bit more, there’s another Bajaj for you, but with a bigger heart. 

Where does it fit in?

The Bajaj Avenger 180 has been priced at Rs 85,498. Its nearest rival, the Suzuki Intruder 150 retails at Rs 99,995 and that’s where the other two Bajajs are placed, the 220 Cruise and the 220 Street.

      i am the second owner of this bike and I seriously loved it i got it for a very decent price it was 2018 model.
      i get a very comfortable ride i use it for going to my college gym and my work seat is very comfortable and big best for a guy with a height upto 5"11
      looks are best for me for the price range it is a cruiser bike and looks relatable to Harley Davidson its best mid-range cruiser bike for me it gives nearly 42 kmpl average
      maintenance cost is very low and service cost is also low I get it serviced every 2000 kms
      pros -
      best in budget
      good looks
      better mileage
      good for long rides
      cons-
      uncomfortable for people above 5'11 for long rides as you can get a back pain
      thanks.

      Harshit Bongarde

      I bought this second-hand 2018 model I using it since last year and I found this is a much more powerful bike it gives me 48-53 on average also I have changed the seat so it's great for long rides. Also, I have changed its leg guard originally not safe for riders. Handle and looks attract people more. Its maintenance cost is also lower than any other bike.

      Worst experience to purchase avenger 180

      1 year ago


      Yogesh

      My experience with avenger 180 is the worst. I bought it 4 years ago and after the 2nd day of purchasing there is a problem to start the bike.. Then I complained to the agency palampur. They told me that this is a defect from the company side and the company will replace some parts of the bike after a few days sangam auto sales palampur called me to come to their kangra showroom to sort out the problem. I went there and they replace some parts of the bike and then I came back. The next day I faced the same problem bike is not started properly and till the date 11/06/2021 I am facing the same problem much time whenever I visited the showroom they do something with petrol cap and said your problem is sorted out but still I am facing the same thing.

      Reality check.

      Murtaza Rashid

      Not that comfortable to ride.
      Hands pain after riding it for more than 30 mins
      In the beginning the average of this bike was around 25 kms but now its not even 16
      The only good thing about this bike is the looks.
      My advice would be buy this bike only if you are too rich and don't care about the fuel prices.

      Ride with the pride

      2 years ago


      Omkar

      Hello everyone, I am using Bajaj avenger street 180 from last 2 and half years. It was my dream bike and I am so lucky to have it. Between those years I am so happy and satisfied with my bike's over all performance. I have driven this bike through heavy rain and shivering cold and it didn't disappointed me ever with performance. Till date I have crossed 27600+ kms distance so far and many more distances is yet to be crossed. I have only issue with those turning indicators and fuel indicators. Those things should be fixed as soon as possible. In the end i love to drive and i never get tired to drive my mighty avenger.
