Bajaj Avenger Cruise 220 Price in Pattambi

1. Riding experience - it's a good bike to cruise on the highways. But for the daily commute, it's very difficult to handle and maintenance also increases.
2. Look wise it is very good and the performance of the bike could be better, again it is very difficult to shift gears within the city traffic but for highways it's fine. I had to bore the engine after 52000 kms and when asked in the showroom they said this is common in all the bajaj bikes. But I was not able to understand even after so good maintenance and all periodic services done on time, the engine boring to be done.
3. Riding experience- I have had this bike since Apr 2017 and I have completed 84000 kms. I have hit upto 135kms/hour in this bike and still it can be controlled when you are so used to it, but braking could be better, we need to struggle a bit by shifting the gears along with the brakes to control the bike when needed to stop it.
4. Maintenance- the spares for this bike is a little costly when compared to the other bikes in the same range, yes that is because they have used only heavy materials for this bike when compared with pulsar. If used more within the city then the maintenance will increase more.
5. Personal opinion - if you have a spare bike to commute to the city then you can go for this, else all your days will be very tough. This is a very good bike for cruising on highways. I have achieved 1680kms in a day riding it for about 18 hours continuously. You need to spend at least 3k to maintain this bike every 2-2.5 months. I didn't face any big problems with this bike since I didn't care about spending it. I used it mostly for highways and occasionally within the city.

About the Reviewer

Avenger 220, 2011 model. Almost 12 years of experience daily riding. Sometimes long tour. The Longest tour was about 880 km. Awesome experience. Never made me down. Still running well and in good condition. Change Oil every 5000 km to 8000 km or 6 months. And regular service. Look awesome. Best for short-height people.
