India’s cruiser bike segment is highly stratified in terms of the products on offer and also the target audience. At the premium end of the market, we have Harley Davidson and more recently Indian motorcycles, followed by Hyosung; the Korean manufacturer having been around for a while now.
Below them, we have the ever popular Royal Enfield range, which have an aspiration quotient of their own, but are far from being affordable.
Next, we have the mass market cruisers segment in which, Bajaj has been the sole consistent caterer in India. It all started with the Bajaj Eliminator, which was later revised and rechristened as the Avenger. The Avenger in turn got engine updates from time to time, first in the form of the Avenger 200 and later, the Avenger 220. But now, Bajaj’s latest offering in the Avenger series, the Avenger 150 Street, caters to a new class of riders looking at the styling and comfort of a cruiser with the economy and running cost of a smaller 150cc motorcycle. We bring you the ride of this entry-level cruiser to show you what it has in store.
