Bajaj Auto has turned heads once again in India’s cruiser motorcycle segment by bringing back a cult classic — the Avenger Street 220. The 2025 version of this popular street cruiser combines timeless style, solid performance, and rider-focused comfort, all at a price that makes it one of the best value-for-money bikes in the market.

Whether you’re cruising through traffic or heading out for a weekend ride, the new Avenger Street 220 is built to deliver a laid-back yet powerful riding experience that suits both new and seasoned riders.

A Muscular Makeover with Dark Styling

The first thing you’ll notice about the 2025 Avenger Street 220 is its bold, blacked-out look. From the engine casing to the alloy wheels and handlebar, everything now wears a dark matte finish, giving the bike a stealthy urban appeal. Small chrome accents on the exhaust tip and engine fins offer just the right touch of contrast.

The round headlamp, a signature design of cruisers, remains halogen-based, now enhanced with a black bezel and a smoked visor for added wind protection and style. At the rear, an all-LED tail lamp sits under a sleeker, more functional grab rail. The iconic teardrop-shaped fuel tank proudly carries the “Avenger” badge, maintaining the heritage while evolving the look.

Comfortable Cruiser Ergonomics

True to its cruiser DNA, the Avenger Street 220 delivers an effortless riding posture. The low-slung handlebar and forward-set footpegs allow riders to stretch out and relax, making it ideal for long journeys.

The low seat height makes it accessible for shorter riders, while the newly improved seat cushioning ensures hours of comfort for both rider and pillion. Bajaj has also added rubber dampers to the handlebars and footpegs to reduce vibrations, especially during highway cruising.

Refined 220cc DTS-i Engine for Daily Use and Weekend Thrills

Powering the 2025 Avenger Street 220 is the tried-and-tested 220cc single-cylinder DTS-i engine, now more refined than ever. With 19 bhp of peak power and 17.5 Nm of torque, the bike is capable of strong mid-range performance, perfect for both city overtakes and relaxed highway runs.

The engine is air and oil-cooled, and mated to a smooth 5-speed gearbox that offers slick shifting and easy handling even at low speeds. Bajaj has worked on reducing engine noise and vibrations, leading to a quieter, smoother ride experience than previous versions.

Ride Quality and Handling

The Avenger continues to impress with its comfortable ride quality. It features telescopic front forks and dual shock absorbers at the rear, tuned to handle both potholes and longer highway stretches with ease.

Thanks to its long wheelbase and low-slung chassis, the bike remains stable even at higher speeds. It rides on 17-inch front and 15-inch rear alloy wheels, fitted with tubeless tyres that provide decent grip and help resist punctures — a practical plus for Indian roads.

For braking, the 2025 Avenger Street 220 features a 260mm front disc with single-channel ABS and a 130mm rear drum brake, giving riders reliable stopping power in both daily and emergency situations.

Simple Yet Functional Instrument Cluster

Staying true to its old-school charm, the Avenger Street 220 sports a semi-digital instrument cluster. The main pod is an analog speedometer, while a small digital screen shows the fuel gauge, trip meter, and odometer. It’s easy to read even under direct sunlight and suits the cruiser vibe well.

Other features include clear-lens indicators, a pass switch, a side-stand indicator, and a maintenance-free battery. While not overloaded with tech, it’s the simplicity that adds to the charm — a true cruiser with the focus on riding, not gadgets.

Mileage That Makes Sense

For a bike of its size and performance, the Avenger Street 220 returns impressive fuel economy, delivering around 35–40 kmpl with disciplined riding. Its 13-litre fuel tank offers a riding range of over 450 km, making it a great option for weekend getaways or long commutes without frequent fuel stops.

Price and Availability

Bajaj has priced the new Avenger Street 220 very competitively at ₹1.49 lakh (ex-showroom), making it one of the most affordable entry-level cruisers in India. It is available in Matte Black and Ebony Grey, both of which enhance the bike’s aggressive look.

With low maintenance costs, an extensive service network, and easily available spare parts, the Avenger Street 220 continues to offer great long-term value for budget-conscious cruiser lovers.

Final Verdict: A Cruiser that Checks All Boxes

The 2025 Bajaj Avenger Street 220 stays true to its roots while adding enough modern refinements to attract a new generation of riders. It’s stylish, comfortable, reasonably powerful, and most importantly, accessible.

Whether you’re a daily commuter, a weekend highway explorer, or simply someone who appreciates the relaxed vibe of a cruiser, this bike delivers in all departments without breaking the bank.

In a market flooded with tech-heavy, aggressive street bikes, the Avenger Street 220 stands out as a simple, soulful machine — exactly what a cruiser should be.
