The Bajaj Avenger 220 Cruise BS6 has been
launched in India for a price of INR 1,16,672*. It is INR 11,584 dearer than
its predecessor, which retailed at INR 1,05,088*.
The new Avenger 220
Cruise BS6 is powered by an upgraded 220 cc single-cylinder engine that
complies with the latest and more stringent BS6 emission norms. This oil-cooled
mill comes with Twin Spark DTS-i technology and a fuel-injection system. It
produces 19.03 PS of maximum power at 8,500 rpm and 17.55 Nm of peak torque at
7,000 rpm. In its BS6 avatar, expect the engine to be more refined and smooth.
Its performance and fuel-efficiency should have some improvement as well.
Bajaj Auto has not introduced any visual
changes in the Avenger 220 Cruise. Features like the fully-digital instrument
cluster, secondary display on the fuel tank, classic cruiser style with low
seat height and a relaxed riding posture, cushioned pillion backrest, long
windscreen, uniquely designed halogen headlight accompanied by LED DRLs, spoke
wheels, chrome exhaust and chrome rearview mirrors have been carried forward.
Even the hardware specifications of the
new Avenger 220 Cruise are the same. The suspension setup at the front includes
telescopic forks with double anti-friction bush and at the back are 5-way
adjustable twin shock absorbers. The braking duties are carried out by a 280 mm
front disc and 130 mm rear drum. The cruiser also features a single-channel
ABS.
The Bajaj Avenger 220 Cruise BS6 is
available in two colour options - Auburn Black and Moon White.
