Bajaj Avenger Cruise 220
Bajaj Auto has introduced a
new colour for its popular cruiser, the Avenger Cruise 220. The new paint
scheme has been labelled as Desert Gold and is the second shade in this model
after the Divine Black. The company had launched the Avenger range in October
last year with the scheme of one colour per model only. With the new models
being introduced, the sales of Avenger have jumped up to around 25,000 units
per month.
Bajaj currently offers three
models in the Avenger lineup that includes Street 220, Street 150 and Cruise
220. While the Street comes with a darker theme and black alloys, the Cruise
gets a raised handlebar, a lot of chrome, and Avenger badge on the fuel tank.
Powering the Cruise 220 is a
220 cc, oil-cooled engine that comes mated to a five-speed gearbox. The mill
churns out a maximum power of 19.03 PS while the peak torque is rated at 17.5
Nm. The bike presently stands as the only cruiser from a mainstream brand in
India that falls under the price bracket of Rs. 1 lac.
