2016
Bajaj Avenger
Bajaj
Auto has announced the launch of a new product on October 27, which is believed
to be the 2016 Bajaj Avenger. The company had earlier disclosed that three new
variants of the 2016 Avenger are planned for introduction this month.
The
three versions of the 2016 Avenger are 220 Street, 220 Cruise and Avenger
150. The 220 cc variants have been spied testing already, while the entry-level
model is yet to be seen.
The
Bajaj 220 Street is a restyled version that appears to have taken inspiration
from the Harley Davidson Street 750. The underlying characteristics stand true
to the nameplate while the appeal and function are tweaked for city riding. The
model features a full black theme, and adds alloy wheels to the cruiser for the
first time, while the sizeable windshield, useful for touring, is given a miss.
The
220 Street is powered by the familiar 220 cc single-cylinder DTS-i engine. It
does duty on the existing Avenger, producing 19.03 PS at 8,400 rpm and 17.5 Nm
at 7,000 rpm, mated to a 5-speed gearbox. It is unclear if the motor will have
a different tune on the 2016 Avenger.
