Author’s Take
The Avenger 220 Street is a great option for those seeking a cruiser bike that looks a bit sportier, yet remains affordable and comfortable, and handles effortlessly on the highway. However, given that Bajaj was bringing this motorcycle back after such a long hiatus, the inclusion of modern-day features—such as dual-channel ABS, a more contemporary instrument console with smartphone connectivity, and full LED lighting—could have helped make this bike even more competitive in today’s market.
