Avengers certainly look more purposeful and a bit taller, although the seat height has been raised by a marginal 15 mm. But the Cruise and Street range have something extra to offer and its more than just design tweaks. The Bajaj Avenger Street 220 has street-smart looks with the overall matte black finish, though the Street 150 gets a glossy dark blue touch to make it look quite sharp. Bajaj has added some new functional touches to the range - like white hue head-lamps for better visibility during night rides, a newly designed speedometer with LCD, and flexible indicators.
The Bajaj Avenger Cruise 220 gets styling cues which are true to its name, with a new handlebar with the new Avenger badging on the fuel tank’s sides and some shiny chrome all around. The 17-inch front and the 15-inch spoke wheels in the rear add to the bling quotient and there’s even a new chrome cover for the oil cooler. The contoured seats look comfortable with the extra foam but I do wish it was a bit wider for more under-thigh support. The cruiser look is complete with an optional large windshield on the front and a pillion backrest.
