Overview
Bajaj is back on the news with its all new machine, the Bajaj Avenger Street 220. The expectations from Bajaj has been perfectly overdone this time, making the newcomer look more like a premium cruiser from a bigger segment of motorcycles.
The Street 220 gets its very special place in the hearts of cruiser lovers and brings life back to the Avenger nameplate. Underpinnings being same as its cousin, both of them are like north and south when compared to each other.
What’s New
The Avenger 220 Street gets an all new Matte Black paint shade with matching dark theme alloy wheels. It comes with a blackened street control handlebar, wider rear tyre and a new semi digital speedometer pod. The brand new logo sits with the Avenger name within its casing. The front suspension gets a cover and the rear backrest goes missing from the Street version.
Design and Style
Many of the Bajaj fans would literally think that they have won a jackpot after buying the Avenger 220 Street. This comes due to its hard resemblance with the Harley’s entry level cruiser, the Street 750. Even the names are close, making the Avenger feel dearer to the American motorcycle maker. The basic resembling view is the side-view whereas the front and rear easily differentiates the bike from other cruisers.
The alloy design can be blamed for this upcoming controversy as it makes it loose its identity. The seats look perfect for a cruiser and the back support for the pillion goes missing this time, adding a grab-rail only. The word Street has been justified as it losses on some real comforts like footsteps and longer handlebars. The dark theme makes the new Street 220 a head-turner for its segment. All the chrome parts have been perfectly shadowed in this new Street avatar.
Dimensions and Weight
The Bajaj Avenger 220 Street measures 2177 mm in length, 801 mm in width and 1070 mm in height. It gets a wheelbase of 1490 mm and comes with 169 mm of ground clearance. The bike weighs 150 kg. The seat height for the bike is 725 mm.
