Bajaj Avenger Cruise 220 — Overview

The Bajaj Avenger Cruise 220 is a cruiser bike available at a starting price of Rs. 1,29,496 in India. It comes in 1 variant and 2 colours. It is powered by a 220 cc BS6 Phase 2 engine and has a user reported mileage of 39 kmpl. With front disc and rear drum brakes, the Bajaj Avenger Cruise 220 comes with anti-locking braking system. The Avenger Cruise 220 bike weighs 163 kg and has a fuel tank capacity of 13 liters. It develops a power output of 18.76 bhp and a torque of 17.55 Nm.

The Avenger Cruise 220 has barely changed in a decade - and somehow that's exactly why thousands of highway riders keep buying it. At Rs 1,28,891 (ex-showroom, Delhi), it's the most affordable way to get a genuine low-slung cruiser in India: big windshield, chrome accents, a 737mm seat height, and an oil-cooled 220cc engine that's smooth enough for all-day runs on NH44. Owners routinely clock 200-300 km in a single stretch without fatigue. If you want the latest tech and a more powerful engine, look at the Royal Enfield Hunter 350. But if you want to cover serious distance in comfort without EMIs that hurt, the Avenger Cruise 220 is hard to argue with.

Bajaj Avenger Cruise 220 Latest Updates

View all

  • Bajaj Avenger Street 220 is making a comeback to India after being discontinued in 2020, with the bike officially listed on Bajaj's website and launch expected in May 2026; it will be priced slightly below the Avenger Cruise 220's Rs 1,28,891 ex-showroom price.

  • Bajaj discontinued the Avenger Street 160, leaving the Avenger Cruise 220 and the returning Avenger Street 220 as the only two models in the Avenger lineup; the 160cc variant has been removed from Bajaj's official website.

What We Like

  • Extremely comfortable riding position - owners regularly do 200-300 km highway runs without fatigue
  • Genuine cruiser styling at an affordable price - windshield, chrome accents, and low-slung seat come standard
  • Low 737mm seat height makes it easy for riders under 5'6" to flat-foot confidently
  • Real-world mileage of 35-42 kmpl is solid for a 220cc oil-cooled engine

What Could Be Better

  • Clutch wire failure every 6 months is a known recurring issue - budget for it at every second service
  • Very large turning radius makes city U-turns and lane changes genuinely awkward
  • Missing modern basics: no tubeless tyres, no alloy wheels, no Bluetooth connectivity

Editor's Verdict

Should You Buy the Bajaj Avenger Cruise 220?

At Rs 1,28,891 ex-showroom Delhi, the Avenger Cruise 220 undercuts the Royal Enfield Hunter 350 by roughly Rs 21,000 while offering a more committed cruiser riding position. The TVS Ronin at Rs 1,25,690 is a credible alternative if you want more modern features and slightly better everyday usability. The Avenger's ace card remains its sheer highway comfort - a quality that's genuinely hard to find at this price point in India.
