Avenger Cruise 220 Specifications

The Bajaj Avenger Cruise 220 is powered by a 220cc single-cylinder, oil-cooled, Twin Spark DTS-i fuel-injected engine that produces 19.03 PS at 8,500 rpm and 17.55 Nm of torque at 7,000 rpm. Power is sent to the rear wheel through a 5-speed manual gearbox. The engine is BS6 Phase 2 (OBD-2B) compliant.

On the performance side, the claimed mileage is 40 kmpl (ARAI), but real-world riders typically see 35-38 kmpl in mixed city-highway riding and up to 42 kmpl on open highways at steady speeds. Top speed is around 120 kmph, though the bike is most comfortable and efficient at 80-100 kmph.

Dimensions and weight: Kerb weight is 163 kg - relatively light for a cruiser. Seat height is 737mm, one of the lowest in its segment. Fuel tank capacity is 13 litres. Ground clearance is 169mm, which is adequate for most highway conditions but demands care on rough village roads.

Suspension: Telescopic front forks handle the front end, while a 5-step adjustable twin shock absorber setup manages the rear. The suspension is tuned for long-distance comfort rather than sporty handling - it absorbs highway undulations well but can feel floaty during aggressive cornering.

Braking: Single-channel ABS with a 280mm front disc and a rear drum. The ABS intervenes predictably in emergency stops. The rear drum, while not modern, is adequate for normal riding. Tyre sizes are 90/90-17 at the front and 130/90-15 at the rear - tube-type spoke wheels (no tubeless option in the standard configuration).

Electrical: LED headlamp and tail lamp, round LCD instrument cluster showing speed, fuel level, trip meter, and engine diagnostics.
