Styling update adds new headlamp design and LED DRLs to the Avenger 220 line-up; remains mechanically unchanged.
Bajaj has unveiled the 2018 Avenger 220 line-up. As part of the update, the Cruise and Street now feature a new headlamp design, LED DRLs, a digital instrument pod (with a speedo, odo, two trip meters, fuel bar gauge and service reminder), a speed screen (for the Street) and new body graphics. Also, both variants will be offered with a new paint scheme – the Street in Matte White and the Cruise in Moon White.
The 220, being the higher-selling model, has received these changes ahead of the 150, so it can take the fight to the new Suzuki Intruder. Some of these additions may filter down to the updated Street 150, which is likely to be revealed in a month's time.
Both the bikes – the Cruise and the Street – remain mechanically unchanged. Mated to a five-speed gearbox, the 220cc, single-cylinder engine produces 18.8hp and 17.5Nm of torque. Even though we'd expected to see it on this update, ABS has still not been introduced.
