The Bajaj Avenger Cruise 220 is a street + highway cruiser. It has a low-rider-like body and a long wheelbase. The bike is economically priced and indigenously made. Bajaj offers the current iteration of the bike at the ex-showroom price of Rs. 1, 72, 556.
The bike is also known to be a fuel-efficient vehicle. Owners have claimed that the bike can run for 40 KMs/Litre of petrol. The bike is equipped with a 13-litre fuel tank.
The bike has all the bells and whistles of a highway cruiser. The saddle of the bike is low-slung. The footrests are front-swept. The handlebar is rear-swept. The biker will be protected from the elements by a sturdy windshield.
The long wheelbase of the bike makes it ideal for touring as one would have ample space for luggage. The seats are perfectly contoured and padded. It means that one can ride the bike comfortably for hours.
