Avenger cruise 220 is one of a kind cruiser in India. I personally has always been a fan of low height bike for cruising due to which I chose avenger to be my first bike in Feb., 2021 and bought it from local dealer taking delivery on the same day. Since then, it is used as a daily commute vehicle for a daily travel (on highway road) of 75 kms with an average mileage of 50 kmpl. Achieving this mileage requires quite a lot of pampering to bike like lubricating the chain every 500 kms, cleaning air filter every 1000kms and a weekly wash. It has a 220cc engine which is considered all good when compared to Royal Enfield bikes but the pick up gets compensated due to its lesser weight of 165 kg.
As reported by others it does ride smoothly until you reach the speed of 75 kmph. After that the body starts vibrating making it feel like you are forcing the engine however, I've touched the speed of 104 kmph on the same vehicle. The bike has a digital meter which has a bluish backlight that turns on with headlight. During daytime since the headlight if off, there is no backlight in digital meter which sometimes makes it difficult to read the meter while riding. In my opinion since the meter is digital, the company could have also provided gear indicator in it.
The first service was done after one month from the date of purchase. After completing a few kilometers following 1st service the virtual display started showing engine malfunction light due to which i took it to service center as recommended by user manual provided with vehicle. The service center deleted the error code using bosch toolkit and assured me that the problem is solved. However, the same error popped while riding, compelling me to take it to service center again. To solve this, they changed the o2 sensor in my 3rd visit to service center which proved to be a temporary solution. I informed the center about the reoccurring problem and they told me that the ecu of vehicle will be changed (after a wait of 15 days). Hence, in my 4th visit the ecu changed and engine malfunction light was gone.
For a while (after 2nd service on my 5th visit to service center) the bike rode smooth as a geisel until it stopped suddenly at a speed of 70kmph on highway with heavy traffic volume during peak rush hours leaving me stranded. Before buying this vehicle, i did a lot of research on its bs6 model which helped me self-diagnosing the cause of problem. It was found that the side stand sensor fell off (the bolt provided in side stand sensor is very short due to which the nut got loosened with time and fell off) while riding which made it impossible for bike to run (refer function of side stand sensor in bike). I had to hire a tempo to transport my bike (metaphorically a dead fish in water) to service centre (6th visit). It took about 15 days (again) for the service center to solve the problem as they didn’t have this part too in stock during which the bike stayed at centre.
After riding for 2 weeks from receiving my bike the engine malfunction light popped up again. I again informed the service center and they asked me that the wiring need to be replaced which was also out of stock and I had to wait for 15 days. As the time of truth came (7th visit), the wiring was replaced with new one which proved to be a fruitless solution compelling the mechanics to again replace the wiring with old one. Ironically, replacing the new wiring with old one did the trick.
The 3rd service (8th visit) was done in the month of November before 10,000 kms following which the engine malfunction light again showed up decreasing the average mileage of vehicle. This time it was found that the throttle body need to be cleaned (9th visit) and so they did.
Overall, apart from so much inconvenience caused by some design flaws of bike I like riding avenger cruise 220.

About the Reviewer

The best thing about avenger I found is it's comfortable to ride. Second handling is so easy will hardly be found in other bikes. Third, its speed and control are very good. Last but not least its styling very unique. Avenger is good for everyone anybody can handle it easily. The only one thing I am missing in this bike is a tubeless tyre and double abs rest everything is good.
