## Bajaj Avenger Street 220 — Overview
The Bajaj Avenger Street 220 is a 220cc cruiser that returned to India in May 2026 at Rs 1,25,965. With 40 kmpl ARAI mileage, a 737mm seat height, and a smooth BS6 Phase 2 DTS-i engine, it's the most affordable entry into the entry-level cruiser segment.

It's back. The Bajaj Avenger Street 220 was discontinued in 2020, and for five years the only Avenger you could buy was the Cruise. In May 2026, Bajaj brought the Street back - same 220cc DTS-i engine, same 40 kmpl ARAI mileage, same 737mm seat height that made it the most accessible cruiser in India, but now updated to BS6 Phase 2 with single-channel ABS and LED lighting as standard. At Rs 1,25,965 ex-showroom, it sits Rs 2,926 below the Cruise 220 and nearly Rs 24,000 below the Royal Enfield Hunter 350. The Street drops the Cruise's windshield for a more upright riding position - better for city traffic, slightly more tiring on long highway runs. If you've been waiting for an affordable entry into the cruiser segment, the wait is over.

## Bajaj Avenger Street 220 — Pros & Cons

**What We Like**
- ✓ Best-in-segment seat height at 737mm - genuinely flat-foot accessible for riders under 5'6"
- ✓ Real-world mileage of 35-42 kmpl is class-leading for a 220cc cruiser
- ✓ Smooth, refined 220cc DTS-i engine with almost no vibration at 80-100 kmph highway speeds
- ✓ Rs 1,25,965 is significantly cheaper than the Royal Enfield Hunter 350 (Rs 1,49,900)

**What Could Be Better**
- ✗ Clutch wire failure is a well-documented recurring issue - expect to replace it within the first year
- ✗ Spoke wheels with tube-type tyres feel dated - punctures are a hassle and tubeless conversion is messy
- ✗ Very long wheelbase creates a wide turning radius that makes U-turns and tight city lanes frustrating

## Should You Buy the Bajaj Avenger Street 220?
The Bajaj Avenger Street 220 is the right motorcycle for someone who wants the cruiser lifestyle without the Royal Enfield price or the Avenger Cruise's highway-specific bias. The 220cc engine is proven and efficient, the seat height is the lowest in the segment, and the price makes it genuinely accessible. The known issues - clutch wire, rust, poor turning radius - are real, but they're manageable if you go in informed. Budget Rs 5,000-8,000 for accessories and first-year maintenance above the ex-showroom price. This is an honest, affordable city-and-weekend cruiser, not a Himalayan tourer.
