15000+ km

I have purchased this bike at the end of 2016. After that, i am facing several issues. The main issue is related to the battery and electric circuit of the bike. For the electric circuit, the battery is always damaged with over heated. Many times I have gone to their authenticate service centre. They always make this right with a huge bill of replacement parts. Then after 6-7 months, it's happening again. I have damage already 6-7 batteries in the last 5years. You can calculate the cost of damaged batteries as well. It's really pathetic experience to have this bike. Besides that, I have other issues with this bike like the chain issue which is unable to resolve by the service centre guys.

    If you are planning to buy a bike that is powerful, comfortable and stylish, then your search should stop with this bike. Bajaj avenger takes care of all the comforts of the rider, be it seating position or ride on bumpy roads or sheer power.
    1) I purchased this bike around 6 years back in delhi. The buying experience was okay, but just the look of this bike was much more rewarding for me.
    2) riding experience has been awesome. I have taken my bike to the Himalayas and it treads the path without any problem. The maximum I drove in a day was appx 600 km, when I came back to delhi from manali. Besides comfort, this bike is pretty reliable. In the past 6 years, this bike has never failed me(touch wood!)
    3) this bike is certainly a head turner. Performance is beyond expectations. It needs regular service and it will never give you a chance to raise any concerns.
    4) I have ensured that the bike even after 6 years is sent only to trusted service men(preferably showrooms). As I said, regular service is what this bike needs.
    5) this bike has mostly positive points and very few negatives. I have already shared several positives, let me share a few cons too. This bike after a few years feels a little rough(however, regular service takes care of that issue). Mileage is a concern for me, it has never given me more than 40.
    Irrespective of the minor shortcomings, this bike definitely makes you 'feel like a god.

    Cons- Rear seat are narrow, one which makes it uncomfortable for pillion in a long run.

    Avenger 220 is a classic Indian bike with excellent looks and low in maintenance, i drive my bike only on highways at top speed of 130kmph to 140kmph solo and give shock and awe to other vehicles on highways, you should have the confidence and experience while driving avi at top speeds, braking and stability is just the knowledge you should learn about the bike while cruising at top-speeds, at a price under 1.5 lakhs is reply to high-end bikes.

    Best in class in this price segment. High speed of 120+ km/hr which one may get easily from other bikes also but what it offers is the high stability on indian roads with bumps here and there. Brings great confidence to handle on highways. Mileage is decent ranging from 33-35 km/litre on city conditions while cruising at 60-70 km/hr may fetch you an awesome mileage of 40-43 km/litre.

    Hard to find spokes for maintenance of Stock rim. Service centre is keen on replacing the parts. However most of them work just fine after re-fitment or oiling etc. Bajaj service centre is poor at delivering optimum service but your active participation while servicing can reduce the chances of extra billing and negligence.

  • The beast in itself

    6 years ago


    Raj Uday Chhatre

    It's a best in the 220cc class. Have owned this bike for last 5 yrs. Traveled over 20,000 kms on this. Initially it was a daily use but later i turned it into a perfect touring cruiser. It's riding position is very comfortable unless you are more than 5.8ft. The cruiser looks are just great. The ground clearance being low doesn't make a big difference on rough roads. Also off-roading is quite possible. Coming to it's performance, it gives a good 45-50kmpl average in the start. Now what i'm getting is 39-40kmpl on highways and in city what i get is 36-37kmpl. But that's not a problem. What more can you expect from it after 5yrs. It has wet clutch which is not soo hard and 5 speed gear box. Now it's speed, what company claims is 118kmph, but i have touched a mind blowing speed of 140kmph. Service and maintenance is excellent and very affordable.Pros :-Stability Fuel economy Cons:-No abs Heats up in summer.

    I will start with comfort: yes, this bike is rally a cruise bike with good seat and control.Power: for long ride this bike gives challenges as it is having power of only 220cc. Grip: since rear wheel dimension is small, most of the time bike skids on a steep turns since height of bike is low you can easily control it.Engine: is gives bit of challenge for long ride 100km but for small city ride 30-40km is good.Battery: battery gave me challenge when i left my bike ideal for a bout a week, electric start was not working so i had to push and start bike since kick start is not available.

    I bought avenger 220 back in 2013 after much deliberation between this and a bullet.. But eventually decided to go ahead with avenger after taking a trial from the bajaj showroom in bomanahalli, bangalore. Having driven this bike for almost 5 years now, both for daily commute and for trips, i have never faced an issue. One of the best thing about this bike is the good centre of gravity that it had, which makes one able to drive it for a longer duration. Also the 14 liter tank capacity including a 4 lt reserve, is a god saver for long trips. With a shield up front, it passes all requirements for good looks as well.. :d ... For cons, i would have preferred tubeless tires and hydraulic breaks for both front and back... And it does take time to get used to with the breaking for the rear end due to this. I am still getting an average of 32 inside the city, that too in bangalore.. And outside it fluctuates between 36 to 42... (yes did achieve 42 for one trip \m/)... Overall, i love this bike!!

  • Go for it to feel like god

    2 years ago


    Abhishek

    If you are planning to buy a bike that is powerful, comfortable and stylish, then your search should stop with this bike. Bajaj avenger takes care of all the comforts of the rider, be it seating position or ride on bumpy roads or sheer power.
    1) I purchased this bike around 6 years back in delhi. The buying experience was okay, but just the look of this bike was much more rewarding for me.
    2) riding experience has been awesome. I have taken my bike to the Himalayas and it treads the path without any problem. The maximum I drove in a day was appx 600 km, when I came back to delhi from manali. Besides comfort, this bike is pretty reliable. In the past 6 years, this bike has never failed me(touch wood!)
    3) this bike is certainly a head turner. Performance is beyond expectations. It needs regular service and it will never give you a chance to raise any concerns.
    4) I have ensured that the bike even after 6 years is sent only to trusted service men(preferably showrooms). As I said, regular service is what this bike needs.
    5) this bike has mostly positive points and very few negatives. I have already shared several positives, let me share a few cons too. This bike after a few years feels a little rough(however, regular service takes care of that issue). Mileage is a concern for me, it has never given me more than 40.
    Irrespective of the minor shortcomings, this bike definitely makes you 'feel like a god.

    Avenger 220 is a classic Indian bike with excellent looks and low in maintenance, i drive my bike only on highways at top speed of 130kmph to 140kmph solo and give shock and awe to other vehicles on highways, you should have the confidence and experience while driving avi at top speeds, braking and stability is just the knowledge you should learn about the bike while cruising at top-speeds, at a price under 1.5 lakhs is reply to high-end bikes.

    Best in class in this price segment. High speed of 120+ km/hr which one may get easily from other bikes also but what it offers is the high stability on indian roads with bumps here and there. Brings great confidence to handle on highways. Mileage is decent ranging from 33-35 km/litre on city conditions while cruising at 60-70 km/hr may fetch you an awesome mileage of 40-43 km/litre.

    Hard to find spokes for maintenance of Stock rim. Service centre is keen on replacing the parts. However most of them work just fine after re-fitment or oiling etc. Bajaj service centre is poor at delivering optimum service but your active participation while servicing can reduce the chances of extra billing and negligence.

  • The beast in itself

    6 years ago


    Raj Uday Chhatre

    It's a best in the 220cc class. Have owned this bike for last 5 yrs. Traveled over 20,000 kms on this. Initially it was a daily use but later i turned it into a perfect touring cruiser. It's riding position is very comfortable unless you are more than 5.8ft. The cruiser looks are just great. The ground clearance being low doesn't make a big difference on rough roads. Also off-roading is quite possible. Coming to it's performance, it gives a good 45-50kmpl average in the start. Now what i'm getting is 39-40kmpl on highways and in city what i get is 36-37kmpl. But that's not a problem. What more can you expect from it after 5yrs. It has wet clutch which is not soo hard and 5 speed gear box. Now it's speed, what company claims is 118kmph, but i have touched a mind blowing speed of 140kmph. Service and maintenance is excellent and very affordable.Pros :-Stability Fuel economy Cons:-No abs Heats up in summer.

    I will start with comfort: yes, this bike is rally a cruise bike with good seat and control.Power: for long ride this bike gives challenges as it is having power of only 220cc. Grip: since rear wheel dimension is small, most of the time bike skids on a steep turns since height of bike is low you can easily control it.Engine: is gives bit of challenge for long ride 100km but for small city ride 30-40km is good.Battery: battery gave me challenge when i left my bike ideal for a bout a week, electric start was not working so i had to push and start bike since kick start is not available.

    Vivek

    I bought avenger 220 back in 2013 after much deliberation between this and a bullet.. But eventually decided to go ahead with avenger after taking a trial from the bajaj showroom in bomanahalli, bangalore. Having driven this bike for almost 5 years now, both for daily commute and for trips, i have never faced an issue. One of the best thing about this bike is the good centre of gravity that it had, which makes one able to drive it for a longer duration. Also the 14 liter tank capacity including a 4 lt reserve, is a god saver for long trips. With a shield up front, it passes all requirements for good looks as well.. :d ... For cons, i would have preferred tubeless tires and hydraulic breaks for both front and back... And it does take time to get used to with the breaking for the rear end due to this. I am still getting an average of 32 inside the city, that too in bangalore.. And outside it fluctuates between 36 to 42... (yes did achieve 42 for one trip \m/)... Overall, i love this bike!!
