The Avenger 220 Street. While the Cruise 220 is styled like a classic long distance cruiser bike, with its chrome covered detailing, wire-spoke wheels, pillion backrest and an optional windshield, the Street motorcycles come more covered in matte black; the wheels being a set of 12-spoke black alloys and the bikes on the whole made more suited to urban riding conditions.
The seat’s foam thickness has been increased which in turn has increased seat height by 15mm to 725mm. The seat felt comfy and my large derriere was easily accommodated.Avenger Cruise 220 .
It develops 14.5PS@9, 000rpm and 12.5Nm@6, 500rpm. It gets the larger air filter from the Bajaj Pulsar 220 which results in a 10 per cent hike in torque over the Pulsar 150. The low and mid-range is the engine’s strong point and considering the urban riding focus of this Avenger, the power delivery is just as required. Slicing through traffic is a breeze and I had to rarely downshift to pull quick overtakes. Out on the highway, the engine is not buzzy at high speeds and cruising at 80-90kmph is possible without complaint. 0-60kmph was dispatched in 9.4 seconds and we recorded a top speed of 102kmph.
