The bajaj avenger cruise 220 and the street 220 get the same engine specs as the outgoing model but with refinements.The tweaks to the chassis and wheelbase are minor but they do work to offer a more solid feel than before. the cruiser is comfortable at around 90-100kmph and engine feels quite relaxed.the riding position is easy and relaxed , and is more cruiser-like with the taller handlebars.the cruise 220 handles just as well as the street 150 but the biles would rather prefer straight highways than mountain twisties.
the 5 speed gearbox shifts smoothly with an easy clutch and makes it a breeze in city riding conditions. it is quick, peepy and cruises comfortably at around 70-90kmph, after which the vibration kick in. I do wish the front foot - pegs , especially the one near the brake lever, were slightly away from each other better comfort.
the bajaja avenger cruise 220 gets styling cues which are true to its name, with a new handlebar with the new avenger badging on the fuel tank's sides and some shiny chrome all around.
