2025 Bajaj Avenger 220 Street Launching Soon: Now OBD-2B Compliant

As the name suggests, the Bajaj Avenger 220 Street is a more street-oriented cruiser sibling of the Bajaj Avenger 220 Cruise, complete with blacked-out design schemes instead of chrome elements. The Street misses out on the tall windscreen, and also gets a shorter handlebar, a simpler pillion grab rail (no cushioned backrest as the Cruise), and a pair of blacked out alloy wheels. 

Other than these differences, both bikes will be the same in terms of performance and underpinnings. The bike will be powered by the same 220cc, air and oil-cooled engine, which produces 19.03PS and 17.55Nm.

The bike will be suspended on a telescopic fork and twin shock absorbers. It will roll on a 17-inch alloy wheel setup at both ends, with braking via a 280mm disc at the front with single-channel ABS and a 130mm drum at the rear. We also hope the brand takes this opportunity to update the digital console with more features such as smartphone connectivity for call/SMS alerts and turn-by-turn navigation.

The Bajaj Avenger 220 Street slots right between the more affordable Avenger 160 Street, and the premium Avenger 220 Cruise. It will also be a more affordable alternative to the Royal Enfield Meteor 350, which currently dominates the entry-level cruiser segment.

We expect the Avenger 220 Street to be launched in the coming weeks, likely at around Rs 4,000 to Rs 5,000 less than the price of the Avenger 220 Cruise. For perspective, the 220 Cruise currently retails at Rs 1.34 Lakh.
