Avenger Street 220 Engine and Performance

The Avenger Street 220 uses the same 220cc, air/oil-cooled, single-cylinder engine as the Avenger Cruise 220. This engine produces 19 HP at 8,500 rpm and delivers a peak torque of 17.6 Nm at 7,000 rpm. Bajaj pairs this engine with a five-speed gearbox, offering a balance between city and highway riding.

Design and Features

The Avenger Street 220 features revised ergonomics, including a lower handlebar for a more street-focused and commanding riding position. Unlike the Cruise 220, the Street 220 does not include a pillion backrest. Instead, it features a small, stubby visor, replacing the taller windshield found on the Cruise 220.

The motorcycle adopts a blacked-out theme, enhancing its street appeal. Bajaj offers the Avenger Street 220 in two color options: Ebony Black and Cocktail Wine Red.

Current Avenger Lineup

With the discontinuation of the Avenger Street 160, Bajaj's Avenger range in India now consists of only two models: the Cruise 220 and the newly launched Street 220. Both models share the same engine but differ in design and ergonomics to cater to different rider preferences.
