Bajaj Avenger 220 Street to be relaunched in India

We have learned that Bajaj is planning to reintroduce the Avenger 220 Street in India after it was discontinued back in 2020. It will use the same engine as the Avenger 220 Cruise (and it’s one that’s also found in the recently resurrected Pulsar 220F), but will have typical cruiser styling.

Bajaj Avenger 220 Street: familiar engine and underpinnings

The 220 Street will employ the same air/oil-cooled, 220cc, single-cylinder engine that makes 19hp at 8,500rpm and 17.55Nm of torque at 7,000rpm, which is mated to a 5-speed gearbox. Much like the other Avengers, it will get a pretty basic suspension set-up with a telescopic fork and twin shock absorbers. Braking duties will quite likely be handled by a disc at the front and a drum at the rear, much like the 220 Cruise.

Compared to the Avenger 220 Cruise that’s currently on sale, the 220 Street will feature more blacked-out bodywork, alloy wheels, and miss out on the backrest and large front windscreen. The styling of the upcoming 220 Street will be more in line with the Avenger 160 Street.

Bajaj Avenger 220 Street: price

The Avenger 220 Cruise is currently priced at Rs 1,38,368 (ex-showroom, Delhi) and we expect the 220 Street to be priced slightly lower. Historically, the Street variant of the Avenger has been more affordable than the Cruise.
