Reviews of Bajaj Avenger Cruise 220

I have owned my avenger 220 since 2016. Years ago I had a royal enfield machismo too on which i travelled 300-400 kms a day several times and used to think that is more than enough for a cruiser of that segment but this bike has proven me wrong and changed my concept forever. Believe me friends, once I drove 998 kms (from Delhi to siwan) in just 16 hours with a break for lunch of an hour at lucknow without tiredness.
At this price it feels a real cruiser. Decent and dynamic looks with comfortable seating posture which makes it a first choice for those who love touring on bikes. Long wheel base and wide rear tyre hold it stable and balanced on highways even over 100 km/h of speed.
Spare parts and servicing cost are also very reasonable. Oil cooled engine needs only 1.2 l of engine oil.
After hitting century of petrol mileage is the only thing that can put you in doubts but be clear guys you can cruise upon this 40 kms easily on highway with full speed.
So if you want to feel the pleasure of a harley davidson in lesser price (than a re) just go for it without second thought.

About the Reviewer

I have been riding this bike for 4+ years now.

Comfort. 5 stars.I usually drive from vellore to chennai which is~150km that i use to cross without stopping anywhere so you can think with your other bikes within this distance how many times you have to stop to relax your back and burning butt. Lol. It really feels like god/so good.;-).But its not the same for the pillion rider your butt will burn like you are in hell. At first with back rest you will find it very very comfortable but not for so long due to narrow rear seat you will find the burn.As pillion rider my score will be 2 stars since most other bikes even rider will have this comfort only.:p

Control: .4 stars.For control, this bike will always do what you say and you will never lose your control in this bike but the thing is you should know how to tell so one star less.The original back brake comes along with 200 was bad, you have to stand on it to stop but pro biking had later changed mine to 220 type brake system(it cost me 1500rs) with some rework(it looks like original fitment) now its very good.Braking only back brake will skid easily even at less speed at roads with even slight sand on it. So you have to apply both in same phase and it will control its speed even at 120km/h very easily.Its no good for taking curves with high speed and more slanting it will cause waviness and lose control.It will not fall down so easily.Even if you missed your control at some time still you can easily manage it control without falling down.

Handling its very very easy and comfort. I been using this for a quit long time now.But first time when you drive this i can remember my experience, it will take some time to take control of this since you know this bike front wheel is quite long from the rider compare to other bikes.After driving other bikes and first time when you sit on this bike you will feel like your are under earth but later you will find the comfort in it.The gear shifting is so smooth it will never make a noise.Its cruiser so the acceleration is not very good you have to drive in high rpm if you want to race with other bikes.After 80km/h speed it gives vibration but it is still ok to drive to 100km/hr with full control.You could reach top 120km/hr speed very easily but after years it can still reach 110 easily but 120 now hard to reach for me after 5 years.

Fuel conception.3 stars. To my experience and feedback from others it will give 30km/l or max 35km/l even it will move down to 25km/l if your driving is rash(for my driving only 26 - 28 km/l).But its 200cc and most of now a days bikes gives the same. Don't calculate the mileage with reserve to reserve, the reserve don't work at the same point always.

Look.5 stars.The look of this bike i don't know how your friends will tell you but i am sure if you maintain clean with all your chrome parts shining as new with proper maintenance when you go out at least two person will ask you about your bike.For this cost this bike will look like miss world with you. Lol. You should not let the dirt stay on your bike for more than 2 weeks its chrome will start with spots of oxides and if its shining is lost it will look like old mummy when you park it along with other bikes.So its important you clean it at-least twice in a month and in rainy seasons at-least once in a week.

Maintenance: if your don't maintain your bike clean and with proper service its not your choice of bike.This bike requires a lot of maintenance.Chain and sprocket life 15000 - 20000kms. Speedometer have to be replace at 30000km i don't know whether bajaj have kept some lock to stop its working after 30000kms .If its avenger 200 you have to change the brakes to 220 type braking system else the braking is not good.Clutch cable have life not more than 5000kms. First battery you have to change it within 2- 3 years and the new exide dry battery give me life more than 3.5 years now.The main draw back for this bike is, this bike don't have kicker option but i appreciate bajaj effort since my bike haven't given any trouble in starting till now other than the battery dry up problem.At any time it will start with just one press you can relay on this.I had false neutral in between gear 4th & 5th which i had to fix it in pro biking now its ok. Rear tyre is difficult to find since its not common in other bikes so tyre shops don't keep it in stock.Rear brake will always make noise as lorry brake you can make "n" no of maintenance but still it will be the same.

This is not the bike for one who clean and service the bike once in a while.If you maintain this bike well with cleaning and proper periodic maintenance and spare parts changed it is the best bike you will never give-up even for harley.

About the Reviewer

The bike is quite expensive but it is value for money. The avenger 220 cruise has an amazing and powerful 220cc engine which rides to smooth on roads. You should buy this bike if you love to go on long drives. Don't buy this bike if you live in a congested area or a populated city it may harm you as it is very powerful bike you might buy avenger street if you live in populated cities.The bike gives pleasure to body and mind but riding for hours may make pain in your wrists. The turning radius of avenger is too large it may cause problem. It has a air cooled engine.It has a good life.

There's no reason to sell it, it's just i wanted to upgrade to some other bike.Expecting for a potential buyer.Price could be negotiable for a person who is interested. Please contact.

About the Reviewer

Avenger cruise 220 first owner.New in condition, driven occasionally 9500 km only. Excellent mileage of 45 to 50. Bike is rarely in use that's why condition is same as new. Pickup and well is service. Parts condition is absolutely .No noise on riding. Easy and smooth gear changes. Cruise seat comfort ability have no comparison in segment of bikes.

About the Reviewer

The bike is very comfortable for driving in the city and on highways. The only cons I felt were that height is quite low for tall people otherwise it's a good package. Owning an Avenger is a rollercoaster ride. Avenger Cruise 220 is a kind cruiser in India. Best to use in India really good.

About the Reviewer

Style its a great styling created originally by kawasaki. Evern harley street 750 / 500 are rougtly modeled on this design.

Engine performance, fuel economy and gearbox good engine but i was expecting a ktm tuned up 200 and 390 engines. That would have been great and a real challange for harley 500.

Ride quality & handling good for city as well as highways.

Areas of improvement i am disappointed. Just cosmetic changes after such a long wait. No tubeless tyres is a real surprise and a huge disappointment. Particulalry for a cruiser. No allow wheels either.

They could have given the ktm 390 and 200 engines just like they are doing for rs200 and cs 400. That would have been a dream bike. Buit they lost the opportunity. I have been waiting but will have to go for bullet now. The problem is that even bullet has no tubeless tyres.

Pros

everything

cons

no bigger engine. No tubeless tyres

Since i bought this bike in july 2019 from 1st week itself it has starting trouble, atleast twice in a day it broke down midway.... After consistent complaint while its 2 free services , nothing has changed & one sunday night it finally on 23rd feb 2020 it finally brokedown on road , no kick provided to start manually , no road side assistance provided by the bajaj... How you go on cruising when you cant ride properly in city .... Worst experience...

I am riding avenger 180 (2010). The bike is awesome for touring in long routes. As well as if you use for day to day use you feel satisfied but not good because of if you riding this bike in traffic then it will bothering you. Overall it's a good bike for value for money. And any other company doesn't provide this type awesome cruiser at this price range.
