Exclusive: Bajaj Avenger 220 Street Launched At Rs 1,42,029

The Avenger 220 Street looks identical to the Avenger 160 Street

Bajaj has launched a sleeker variant of the Avenger 220 Cruise aimed for the urban commute, called the Avenger 220 Street. It is priced at Rs 1,42,029 (ex-showroom Pune), which is identical to the 220 Cruise. 

At first glance, the Avenger 220 Street looks similar to the Avenger 160 Street, as it too has a circular halogen headlight with an LED DRL, a small cowl (instead of a large flyscreen) up front, a black alloy grab rail instead of a chrome pillion backrest and 17-/15-inch alloys. That said, the Avenger Street 220 has a single-pod digital console, instead of the Street 160’s analogue console, though both get tell-tale lights on the tank.

Of course, the Avenger Street 220 gets the same 220cc air-cooled engine as the Avenger Cruise 220, making an identical 19.03PS and 17.55Nm. Another point of similarity is the 280mm disc up front and 130mm drum at the rear, with single-channel ABS.

The Avenger 220 Street is among the most affordable cruisers in India, undercut only by its smaller 160cc sibling. Besides, cruisers offering similar performance, like the Keeway K-Light 250V, are almost twice as expensive. Other options in a similar price bracket are the TVS Apache RTR 200 4V.
