User Review of Avenger Street 220 by Swapnil

Embarking on the journey with the Avenger Street 220 has been nothing short of a personal odyssey, filled with moments that have etched themselves into the fabric of my memory. From the first exhilarating ride to the latest epic tour, each moment astride this machine has been a testament to the thrill of adventure and the bond between rider and road.
The Avenger Street 220 isn't just a motorcycle; it's a companion on the open road, beckoning me to explore new horizons and embrace the unknown. Whether cruising through city streets or conquering winding mountain passes, its agile performance and comfortable ride have made every journey a joyous escapade.
But with great adventure comes the responsibility of maintenance. Keeping the engine purring like a contented feline requires diligence and care. Over the years, I've learned the delicate dance of balancing maintenance costs to ensure the longevity of this trusty steed. Regular oil changes, thorough inspections, and timely repairs have become routine rituals, each one a small investment in preserving the heart and soul of the Avenger Street 220.
Yet amidst the practicalities of maintenance, there's a deeper appreciation for the memories forged during five years of riding. Each mile traveled tells a story: the winding roads of the countryside, the bustling energy of city streets, and the quiet solitude of the open highway. Every twist of the throttle is a reminder of the adventures shared, the challenges overcome, and the freedom found in the simple act of riding.
As I reflect on my experiences with the Avenger Street 220, I'm filled with gratitude for the countless miles traveled and the countless more yet to come. It's more than just a motorcycle; it's a vessel for exploration, a catalyst for adventure, and a steadfast companion through life's journey. Here's to the next five years of unforgettable rides and cherished memories with the Avenger Street 220.

About the Reviewer

All the processes around purchase were really smooth and quick. Received it the same day.
I use it as a daily commuter for college and other daily stuff.
Super comfortable.
A little bit on the heavy side if you don't work out on your physical strength.
For a cruiser, It has amazing pickup and speed compared to other cruisers in the similar segment and can actually compete with higher cc ones like Meteor, cb.
Looks have stayed loyal to the original Bajaj Avenger except for some the new curves and better headlights. Compared to other cruisers barely any engine vibrations.
First service was really smooth.
Pros-
much easier to maintain than other cruisers.
Amazing comfort and ride quality.
Pocket-friendly when it comes to maintenance and service expenses.
Can easily provide mileage as good as the company guarantees if driven properly without unnecessary braking and constant or sudden heavy throttles.
Can easily pick sixty kmph speed under six seconds(personal experience) and can reach a hundred kmph on third gear. One-twenty-five kmph is its max speed without red line(not suggested red lining it within first few months)
Cons-
Doesn't have dual disc brake or dual channel ABS(single channel ABS only)
Terrible turning radius due to making it difficult for packed cities.
Uncomfortable seat for pillion.(Would suggest changing its seat)
Lacks LED Headlights and indicators.
Ground clearance is really bad as it is more on the low-rider side.(Amazing for short people like me- im five'five)
No reviewer,TPMS, Bluetooth connectivity or charging port is available.
Superstock bike, not for someone looking for a bike with a lot of techs tho i hope they provide new tech with their upcoming Avenger 400.

About the Reviewer

1. Buying Experience:
Bike quality too good so worth of the price
2. Riding Experience:
It's designed for comfortable cruising, making it a great choice for city and long rides. Its low-slung seat, forward-set footpegs, and wide handlebars provide a relaxed riding posture.
3. Looks, Performance, etc.:
It's known for its classic cruiser styling with modern touches. Its low-slung design, blacked-out components, and minimalist bodywork give it a sleek and muscular appearance. The bike is powered by a 220cc single-cylinder engine that produces around 19 horsepower and 17.5 Nm of torque, providing smooth acceleration and decent performance for everyday riding. It comes with features like alloy wheels, tubeless tires, disc brakes, and a digital instrument cluster, enhancing its overall appeal and functionality.
4. Servicing and Maintenance:
Bajaj has a widespread service network across India, making it convenient for Avenger Street owners to get their bikes serviced and maintained. Regular servicing is essential to ensure the longevity and performance of the bike. The servicing intervals and maintenance costs are relatively affordable compared to some other bikes in its segment. It's recommended to follow the manufacturer's service schedule and use genuine spare parts for optimal performance and reliability.
5. Pros and Cons:
Pros:
Stylish cruiser design with modern features
Comfortable riding posture for city and highway cruising
Decent performance and fuel efficiency
Affordable pricing compared to other cruisers in its segment
Wide service network and availability of spare parts
Cons:
Limited customization options compared to some other cruisers

About the Reviewer

About the Reviewer

I Sold my Royal Enfiled Thunderbird 500 after riding it for 4 years and wanted to buy a cruiser. I found out that 500 cc was overpowering and I did not require such a heavy machine. in 2017, there were not many cruisers out there. I opted for Avenger Street 220. Purchased it second-hand as it was fairly new, only 1500 km ridden. The First time I sat on this bike, it was so light and had no vibrations at all (compared to RE). Now I am writing this review after 42000 Kilometers and 6 years.
Pros:
1. The bike is a cruiser and while you are riding it you feel like sitting on the sofa.
2. An average of 40 km is good.
3. Reliable machine. I service the bike myself and never took it to a mechanic in these 6 years for servicing. I only went to the mechanic once or two times because of the clutch plate, tire change, etc.
4. Looks are subjective but I feel it looks different and people do look back towards it.
Cons:
1. Longer wheelbase: The problem with a longer wheelbase is that it takes time to adjust to it. A larger turning radius is one of the drawbacks of it.
2. Brakes are not great: The front disc is below average and the rear is drum break, which I feel is not good.
3. Confidence in high speed: I am not confident of taking this bike over 80. On only highways, I would like a machine that could cruise at 80-90 easily. You can't do that with it.
4. Falls: I have fallen from this bike a lot of times, thanks to the longer wheelbase, brakes, and MRF tires. This bike has a big learning curve.
My final verdict is that this bike was a good few years back but at this moment we have many more options in the Cruiser segment. Also, the Bajaj has not updated the bike with the required features of the present.
If you ask me, I would avoid buying it now.

About the Reviewer

I bought this bike for smooth driving exp and long rides but all my dreams were shattered for the following reasons:
1. Mileage is barely 24kmpl as against claim by company for 40kmpl
2. The bike won't start unless a choke is used if you don't start it daily
3. The petrol circulation is not effective immediately upon start so unless the bike is given start for 2 mins it won't move smoothly.
4. The bike overheats in traffic or long drives and you can smell the burning parts
5. Resale value is 30% of the purchased value even if it's driven less than 10000 km and is 4 years old.
6. Difficult to navigate in traffic jams
7. Used cheap quality headlamps, buttons, etc.
8. Uncomfortable riding position for long drives
9. Rear brake jams in rainy season
10. Doesnt start in winter and rainy
