          Pros & Cons

          • Pros
          • Cons
          • Bajaj Avenger Street 160

            • India’s most affordable cruiser
            • Has a classic cruiser look, with the low seat, forward-set footpegs, and easy-to-reach handlebars
            • Comfortable and easy to ride in the city

            Jawa 42

            • Motor feels a lot more usable, with the torque spread evenly across the rev range. This helps in riding at moderate speeds at a gear higher, which wasn’t possible earlier
            • Improved overall quality, with good attention-to-detail elements like logo on the rim stickers
            • Is one of the lightest in segment, so moving around in traffic of tight parking spaces is easy
          • Bajaj Avenger Street 160

            • Dual-channel ABS would have been a nice addition
            • Build quality could have been better
            • Could have given better mileage

            Jawa 42

            • The wide, low handlebars along with the high footpegs give off an unnatural riding posture
            • Stiff suspension results in the rider being thrown off while going over sharp bumps
