Reviews of Bajaj Avenger Cruise 220

This bike experience changed my opinion about bajaj avenger 220 cruise. Paid full in cash no discount asked for. Within four months had to change the battery within six months the frame catches rust unbelievable, when i went to the service centre they say its normal and told me to repaint a six month old bike. Even after servicing the gears give trouble chain always slack and i don't know about engine power the bike strains to get upto 60km when riding.The guy who sold me this bike left the job after about a month.I think its was his last target to sell a faulty bike.Its sad to say this but before you think about a bajaj 220 cruise rethink it again 10 times as a owner of one it's really embarrassing for me to say this.

About the Reviewer

Amazing bike with low price. It looks great and royal. Low level seat i.e good because women can easily sit behind the rider. Improvement needed in radius curve i.e. it should be short. Comfort for long riding and adventure in terrain. Oil tank should be big because on terrain roads oil pumps are not easily available and this is a reason.

About the Reviewer

Price of this bit low compare to its competitors, very smooth even after riding more than 70k km's. Dashing looks of bike separate it from others. 6 months or 5k km servicing. Maintenance cost is low again compare to its competitors bike.
Pros - Good for long ride.
comfortable seat.
low on maintenance
good looks
also suited for low height people.
light in weight compare to bullet.
Cons - Front brake is horrible, which need to be corrected.
should have kick also as number of times having issue to start bike with self start.
there is no chain cover.

About the Reviewer

Good for low height people like me. But turning round, in small narrow road is bit difficult. Parking is also difficult in congestion area. However riding is comfortable. Slow riding is noisy. Have to ride at speed more than 40 km/h to enjoy riding without any noise. Ground clearance is low, riding with one heavy person in it sometime hits speed breaker.

About the Reviewer

An awesome bike, take it on highways, city, or anywhere you want to. I used to ride Delhi-Himachal-Delhi, Himachal-Uttarakhand-Himachal and now I am traveling daily from Delhi to Sonipat and back. Absolutely comfortable. You need not accelerate till 65 KMPH (Gear changes will do the trick). Remains still up to 95 KMPH.

About the Reviewer

I purchased my bike in 2017 when the avenger cruise was first launched. It was the perfect design for the avenger although I feel they downgraded the classic look by trying to make it "stylish" after that year. Still, a very beautiful bike and a very unique design compared to the same ghisa-pita designs of res, jawas, h'ness etc. Avenger brings novelty to the bike design in that aspect.
Coming to the riding experience. This is the single most comfortable bike I've ever sat on and the first thing I've noticed that always pops out of the pillion rider's mouth when they sit is, "wow. The backseat is so comfortable", as the backrest for the pillion enhances the experience. There is a point to be noted here. The pillion seat is only comfortable for short commutes. For long rides, it's extremely uncomfortable. The seat for them is very narrow and can cause uncomfortable pains as the ride goes on. The rider seat on the other hand is perfection. I've done a roughly 450 km ride in one sitting with no fatigue or strain by the end of it. The ride was super comfortable.
Coming to the performance side of the bike. It's a killer bike with very good performance. Can go up to 120 kmph safely. Anything more and you will most likely be causing harm to your bike. However, an important point to keep in mind. It's a cruiser end of the day and not a sports bike. So at cruising speeds of 70-80 kmph, it's buttery smooth but once you cross maybe 90-95 kmph, you'll start noticing vibrations. The bike will still remain stable even at high speeds but maybe a pair of biker gloves will definitely be needed to reduce the impact of vibrations while riding. It's got very good acceleration and the performance is killer for the price band. Mileage is another great thing on this bike. Gives around 35-40 kmph easily. Official mileage is 45 kmph though.
One of the star features of this bike is the cost of maintenance. I've seen a few people say maintenance costs them 2500-3500 each visit which surprises me. I only get the bike services at bajaj service centers and it usually costs around 1500. In fact, it has never crossed 2000. Prices of spare parts are dirt cheap. I had a terrible accident once which left heavy damage on one side of the bike but I managed to come out of the service center with a bill only amounting to around 4k by the end of it. The only problem is the quality of service. A lot of bajaj service centres keep ruining the experiences for customers with sub-par services. So what I do now is I check the ratings of service centres in my city and pick the highest-rated ones only. That's one benefit of bajaj service centres. You'll be spoilt for choice. There are usually multiple service centers in a single city. I've had a great experience at such high-rated service centres.
Some people say this bike is difficult to ride in cities. I say that's nonsense. I've been using it in cities and in fact, I regularly go crisscrossing in traffic and I have never faced an issue with this bike. It all comes down to practice and your riding abilities. The turning radius is higher and the bike is longer than most other standard bikes. So trying to make tight corners will be a challenge but I easily maneuver through city traffic with no problem. It's just an over-exaggerated problem in my opinion.
An underrated feature on this bike is its windshield. It's a killer windshield that pushes the wind up in such a great way that I've seen many random things that flew toward the bike usually get redirected immediately due to the flow of the wind over the screen. Plus it gives a very classic look to the bike.

About the Reviewer

I bought an avenger 200cc about 15 years ago and my buying experience was amazing. Initially I did a test drive of 180cc vehicle however when I decided to buy that time Bajaj stopped manufacturing 180cc instead started selling 200cc oil cooled engine bike. Have decided to go ahead and got the vehicle and I never regret for my decision and its part of my family for the last 1.5 decades.
Before buying this vehicle I was owning a 150cc bike from a different brand and I used to drive that vehicle 50Kms everyday as round trip to my office. Have suffered with sever back pain and switched to Avenger 200cc towards the end of 2007. The riding experience of this vehicle is amazing and very comfortable and Infact you can go 500km in on stretch without any hiccups. It give such a wonderful driving comfort.
This cruiser Vehicle looks very attractive especially with that big windshield glass. During 2007-2011 time, I was the only one who had this vehicle and everyone will have a look at my vehicle when I drive on the road and that was an amazing feeling and happy moments. I have done more 60K KMs with (meter got reset once due to some problem and hence don't have the exact number). Its giving a mileage of 40km/liter on Highway and around 30Km/liter on local city drives.
initially I was finding it a bit difficult for getting this vehicle serviced as that time probiking service centre was not available at my hometown. I used to take the vehicle to near by city (by driving around 40km from my place) for service. Within couple of years they have opened service centre in my town itself.
Pros:
1.Seating comfort and driving ergonomics
2. Very steady on the road especially on wet driving conditions.
3. Petrol tank capacity is decent
4. Amazing look and very good engine and decent mileage
Cons:
Actually I don't have any cons to write. However, if you are of more than 6ft height then you may feel slightly uncomfortable during your rite due to the height of the vehicle.
