Bajaj Avenger 220 Cruise BS6 Colours

The Bajaj Avenger 220 Cruise BS6 is available in two colour options - Auburn Black and Moon White.

For more Bajaj Auto news and updates about other two-wheelers, keep checking IndianAutosBlog.com.

*Ex-showroom, Delhi

Bajaj Auto has updated its website with the latest BS6 products and removed the BS4 models. The Avenger 220 Street has not been listed. We had exclusively reported last month that Bajaj Auto stopped supplying any new stock of the Avenger 220 Street to dealerships last month. In fact, some sources also said that the company has already ceased the bike’s production.

Also, the Avenger 220 Street might not have been able to provide the sales numbers that Bajaj Auto hoped for. Perhaps, one of the primary reasons behind this could be the fact that the company also has a lesser capacity and more affordable Avenger 160 Street on offer.

All these facts indicate that Bajaj Auto has pulled the plug on the Avenger 220 Street and from now the Bajaj Avenger 220 Cruise will be the only 220 cc Avenger on sale.

The Bajaj Avenger 220 Street had a low and comfortable seat and relaxed riding ergonomics. The blacked-out engine and alloy wheels added to the attractive look of the motorcycle. The short exhaust not only looked sporty but also sounded pretty great.

The Avenger 220 Street used to draw power from a 220 cc single-cylinder, BS4-compliant engine which churned out 19.3 PS of max power and 17.5 Nm of peak torque. The suspension setup included telescopic front forks and twin rear shock absorbers. The bike also featured a single-channel ABS.

With the end of the Avenger 220 Street, Bajaj Auto now has only two models in its Avenger range. These include the Bajaj Avenger 160 Street BS6 and Bajaj Avenger 220 Cruise BS6 that retail at INR 94,893* and INR 1.16 lakh* respectively.

*Ex-showroom, Delhi

India today has one of the most stringent emission norms, the Bharat Stage-VI. While this change is good for the environment, it has brought major price hikes. Motorcycles are no different and still have become 7-10% more expensive now. Below are the best bikes under 1 lakh in India:

Hero Splendor iSmart 110 (INR 67,100)

The Hero Splendor name needs no introduction. It is the largest selling motorcycle range in the country. The Hero Splendor iSmart has gained several new features and this has increased its price significantly. However, with a price tag of INR 67,100 (ex-showroom, Delhi), the Hero Splendor iSmart 110 is still a very compelling product.

Hero now offers the Splendor iSmart with a new fuel-injected engine. The 113.2 cc air-cooled mill produces 9 PS of power and 9.89 Nm of torque. The BS6 engine offers 10% more torque and leads to an 88% reduction in NOx emissions. Other features include an Idle Stop and Start System (i3S), 18-inch alloy wheels, side stand indicator and a front disc brake. Besides that, the BS6 Hero Splendor iSmart 110 boasts 180 mm ground clearance, a 15 mm improvement over the discontinued model.

The new Hero Splendor iSmart 110 is retailed in three colour options: Techno Blue and Black, Sports Red and Black, and Force Silver and Heavy Grey.

Honda SP 125 (INR 73,452)

Honda has rebranded its premium commuter CB Shine SP 125 to SP 125. The company has tried to offer a sporty alternative in the executive commuter segment, with an accessible price tag of INR 73,452 for the drum brake variant and INR 77,652 for the disc brake variant (both prices ex-showroom, Delhi).

Powering the Honda SP 125 is a 124 cc fuel-injected mill which is coupled to a five-speed gearbox. This engine produces 10.88 PS of power and 10.9 Nm of torque. Honda says that thanks to Enhanced Smart Power (eSP) technology, the Honda SP 125 is 16% more fuel-efficient than its predecessor.

The Honda SP 125 is fitted with an ACG starter which helps in silent starts. Besides it gets an LED headlamp, digital instrumentation, low rolling resistance tyres, and a first in segment engine start-stop switch. Besides, Honda offers a six-year warranty with the SP 125 (three years standard and three years optional).

Customers can get the Honda SP 125 in four colour options: Striking Green, Imperial Red Metallic, Pearl Siren Blue, and Matte Axis Grey Metallic.

Bajaj Pulsar 150 Neon (INR 85,536)

Introduced first in 2001, the Bajaj Pulsar brand has been instrumental in changing the way India rides. The Pulsar 150 has over the years gained on the price tag front over the years. However, the company does offer a more affordable, funkier looking variant now, the Bajaj Pulsar 150 Neon, targeting the youth. At INR 85,536, (ex-showroom, Delhi) it is around INR 13,000 cheaper than the standard Pulsar 150 (discs at both ends).

The Bajaj Pulsar 150 Neon looks very similar to the standard Pulsar 150, save for the neon colouring on the badging, single-piece grabrail, tank extension and faux vent on the side panel. It is fitted with a halogen headlamp while the instrumentation is the familiar semi-digital unit with an analogue tachometer and digital speedometer.

At the heart of the Bajaj Pulsar 150 Neon is a 149.5 cc air-cooled, two-valve, twin-spark engine. Coupled to a five-speed gearbox, it can produce 14 PS of power and 13.4 Nm of torque.

The Bajaj Pulsar 150 Neon is retailed in three colours: Neon Red, Neon Green, and Neon Lime Green.

TVS Apache RTR 160 (INR 95,000)

The BS-VI transition has seen several motorcycle manufacturers axe their old products, but that’s not the case with the TVS Apache RTR 160. Positioned as a more affordable offering in the 150-160 cc segment as compared to its 4-valved cousin, the TVS Apache RTR 160 is priced at INR 95,000 for the drum brake variant and INR 98,000 for the disc brake variant (both prices, ex-showroom, Delhi).

Continuing with the same design philosophy, the TVS Apache RTR 160 is powered by a 159.7 cc air-cooled, two-valve mill. Coupled to a five-speed gearbox, the engine can dish out 15.53 PS of power and 13.9 Nm of torque. The bike's features list includes GTT (Glide Through Traffic), adjustable split clip styled handlebar, adaptable brake pedal and gear lever, split grabrail and semi-digital instrumentation.

While the motorcycle seems good on paper, with all desired features and specifications, there's one major gripe. The TVS Apache RTR 160’s powerplant is prone to producing vibrations at high engine speeds.

The TVS Apache RTR 160 is available in six colour options: Pearl White, Matte Blue, Gloss Red, Gloss Black, T Grey, and Matte Red.

Bajaj Avenger Street 160 (INR 94,893)

One of the most affordable cruiser motorcycles available in India is the Bajaj Avenger Street 160. Looking almost identical to the bigger, more expensive Street 220, the Bajaj Avenger Street 160 is priced at INR 94,893 (ex-showroom, Delhi).

The powertrain in the Bajaj Avenger Street 160 is a 160 cc air-cooled, DTS-i mill which is capable of producing 15 PS of power and 13.7 Nm of torque. In terms of features, the Bajaj Avenger Street 160 gets alloy wheels, halogen headlamp with LED daytime running light, digital instrumentation and a 130 mm rear tyre which Bajaj for some weird reason calls ‘super wide’.

Stay tuned to IndianAutosBlog.com for more featured stories and the latest two-wheeler news.

1. Yamaha YZF-R15 V3

The Yamaha R15 is one of the most popular motorcycles in its segment. Currently, it is in its 3rd-generation and is called the Yamaha R15 V3. It is a sought out bike not by just new riders but also by many experienced riders. That’s the kind of the aura the Yamaha R15 has.

The BS6 R15 V3 costs INR 1.45 lakh*. For that amount of money, you get a 155 cc single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine which produces 18.6 PS of power at 10,000 rpm, and 14.1 Nm of torque at 8500 rpm. It is a high-revving engine which is linked to a slick 6-speed gearbox. The R15 V3 is capable of giving bikes of even higher capacities a run for their money.

2. KTM 200 Duke

KTM stepped into the Indian motorcycle market with its peppy, compact and lightweight performance motorcycle, the 200 Duke, way back in July 2012. The KTM 200 Duke is the bike that popularised premium bikes in the country. Now, in its BS6 avatar, the naked orange monster is an even better deal.

KTM has finally given a proper update to the 200 Duke. The new bike looks similar to its elder sibling, the KTM 250 Duke. It features a new, lightweight, steel trellis frame, larger fuel tank, totally updated design and style. Powering the KTM 200 Duke is a 199.5 cc engine that churns out 25 PS of power and 19.3 Nm of torque. Available at a price of INR 1,72,749*, the new BS6 200 Duke comes in two colour options - White and Orange.

3. Bajaj Avenger 220 Cruise

The Bajaj Avenger 220 Cruise is known for its cruiser style and relaxed riding position. It has some interesting features like a fully-digital instrument cluster, secondary display on the fuel tank and large windscreen. The low seat height of the motorcycle is one of its USPs. Chrome elements like the exhaust and rearview mirrors add a premium touch.

The 220 cc single-cylinder engine of the Avenger 220 Cruise complies with the BS6 emission norms. This oil-cooled mill comes with Twin Spark DTS-i technology and a fuel-injection system. It delivers 19.03 PS of power and 17.55 Nm of torque. The Bajaj Avenger 220 Cruise BS6 retails at INR 1,16,672 and is available in two colour options.

4. Bajaj Dominar 250

With the launch of the new and highly anticipated Dominar 250, Bajaj Auto finally entered the quarter-litre segment in the country. The company has provided the enthusiasts with a smaller version of the Dominar 400, and that too at a tempting price of INR 1.60 lakh*.

For that sum of money, you get a handsome motorcycle with a potent 250 cc BS6-compliant engine that produces 27 PS of power and 23.5 Nm of torque. The bike also gets full-LED lighting and a dual-channel ABS. The twin-barrel exhaust provides an engaging riding experience. In terms of comfort, the Dominar 250 has an upright riding position. It also comes equipped with a pair of 37 mm USD front forks that should soak up the undulations quite well.

The Bajaj Dominar 250 seems to be a preferable choice for people who have always liked the Dominar 400 but couldn’t make the purchase because of its higher price tag.

5. Bajaj Dominar 400

The Bajaj Dominar 400 is a good value for money motorcycle. Even today, at INR 1.91 lakh*, the Bajaj Dominar 400 is a bang for the buck. No wonder it has become such a big name for Bajaj Auto.

The Dominar 400 comes loaded with some really good equipment. For example, it features 43 mm USD front forks, dual-channel ABS, full-LED lighting, machined alloy wheels, fully-digital instrument cluster and more. It draws power from a 373.3 cc single-cylinder, liquid-cooled, fuel-injected mill with a DOHC setup and Bajaj Auto’s patented Triple Spark technology. This engine produces 40 PS of maximum power and 35 Nm of peak torque. The Bajaj Dominar 400 is one of the first choices of enthusiasts who like to do long-distance motorcycle touring every now and then.

6. Royal Enfield Himalayan

‘Made like a gun’ tag line suits the Royal Enfield Himalayan perfectly. Yes, it has had its share of criticism but at the end of the day, it is a solid motorcycle. A simple, no-nonsense, practical and functional design of the Himalayan makes it a good companion for the off-road adventurers. Features like the 41 mm telescopic front forks with 200 mm of travel, monoshock at the rear with 180 mm of travel, 220 mm of ground clearance, dual-purpose tyres, 21-in front and 17-in rear wheel, make it even more enjoyable off the road.

The BS6 Himalayan is run by a 411 cc fuel-injected, air-cooled engine that produces 24.3 BHP and 32 Nm. It is linked to a 5-speed gearbox. It might not be the best engine for high-speed highway cruising but it does get the job done. The BS6 Royal Enfield is available in 6 colour options starting at a price of INR 1,86,811*.

So these were the best bikes under INR 2 lakh* in India. Out of these, which one’s your favourite? Also, which bikes would be included in your list? Let us know with a comment below.

BS-VI Bajaj Avenger 160 Street Specs

The new BS-VI Avenger 160 Street will be powered by a 160 cc single-cylinder, air-cooled engine that will produce a maximum power of 11 kW or 14.95 PS at 8,500 rpm. It is the same engine that we have seen in the BS-IV Avenger 160 Street and it develops 11.03 kW or 15 PS of maximum power at 8,500 rpm in the same. So, there is hardly any power difference between the BS-IV and BS-VI models.

As far as the torque output of the BS-VI Bajaj Avenger 160 Street is concerned, it is being anticipated that the torque figure will be more or less the same - 13.5 Nm (at 7,500 rpm). Also, to meet the new BS-VI emission norms, Bajaj Auto has added a fuel-injection system, an ECU, and a new cat-con.

If we talk about the dimensions of the Bajaj Avenger 160 Street, they have been left untouched. The BS-VI version is 2210 mm long, 806 mm wide, 1070 mm tall, and has a wheelbase of 1490 mm.

The new Avenger 160 Street will have no visual changes whatsoever. It will look very similar to the outgoing BS-IV model and carry the same modern Sportster-type style. So, features like roadster-like headlamp design, LED DRLs, low and long profile seat, super-wide rear tyre, comfortable riding posture, sporty exhaust, etc. can be found in the BS-VI model, too. Also, the Avenger 160 Street will continue to have the same colour options as before - Ebony Black and Spicy Red.

It is being speculated that the BS-VI Bajaj Avenger 160 Street would be priced at INR 89,536* which would make it around INR 6.2k more expensive than its BS-IV counterpart that retails at INR 83,251*.

The new spy shot tells us that the BS-VI Bajaj Avenger 160 Street will have no visual changes whatsoever. It will look very similar to the outgoing BS-IV model and carry the same modern Sportster-type style. So, features like roadster-like headlamp design, LED DRLs, low and long profile seat, super-wide rear tyre, comfortable riding posture, sporty exhaust, etc. can be found in the BS-VI model, too.

This indicates that the only significant change in the BS-VI Avenger 160 Street will be its engine. Even though it will be the same 160 cc single-cylinder, air-cooled mill as before, it will now be compliant to the stricter and more stringent BS-VI emission norms. For that, Bajaj Auto has added a fuel-injection system, an ECU, and a new cat-con.

In its BS-IV state of tune, this 160 cc engine produced 15 PS at 8500 rpm of max power and 13.5 Nm of peak torque at 7000 rpm. While Bajaj Auto hasn’t released the specifications of the BS-VI Avenger 160 yet, it is expected that the torque figure might slightly alter. However, we wouldn’t be surprised if the company manages to keep the power output unchanged, as in case of the BS-VI Avenger 220 Cruise.

The BS-IV Bajaj Avenger 160 Street retails at INR 83,251*. The BS-VI Bajaj Avenger 160 Street is said to carry a price tag of INR 89,536*, which would be around INR 6.2k more. Some dealerships have started accepting booking for the new model for a token amount of INR 1,000-5,000.

Also Read: Exclusive: Bajaj Avenger 220 Street could be discontinued this month

The Avenger 160 Street will continue to have same colour options as before - Ebony Black and Spicy Red - and is expected to be launched in the coming few days. IndianAutosBlog.com will be bringing all the latest updates on Bajaj Auto’s upcoming new Avenger, so stay tuned.

[Source: bikedekho.com]

Dealer sources have told us that while they have started receiving stocks of the BS-VI Bajaj Avenger 220 Cruise, Bajaj Auto isn’t supplying any such stock of the BS-VI Avenger 220 Street. In fact, some sources also said that the company has ceased the production of the Avenger 220 Street and from now onwards the Avenger 220 Cruise will be the only 220 cc Avenger on sale.

Some dealer sources are still hopeful about the arrival of the BS-VI Avenger 220 Street later this month, but even they don't have any confirmation yet. They are also accepting pre-bookings for both BS-VI 220 Avenger models for a token amount of INR 2000-5000. So far, there has been no official statement from Bajaj Auto on this topic. An email sent to the company regarding a clarification went unanswered till press time.

The Avenger 220 Street might not have been able to provide the sales numbers that Bajaj Auto hoped for. Perhaps, one of the primary reasons behind this could be the fact that the company also has a lesser capacity and more affordable Avenger 160 Street on offer. So, people who liked the Street variant of the Avenger would rather pick the 160 variant than the 220 variant.

The Bajaj Avenger 220 Street has the same underpinnings as the Bajaj Avenger 220 Cruise. It is powered by a 220 cc single-cylinder engine that produces 19.3 PS of max power and 17.5 Nm of peak torque. It has a relaxed and slightly sporty riding posture. Its wide rear tyre and twin rear shock absorbers provide a good ride quality. It also has a single-channel ABS.

The BS-IV Bajaj Avenger 220 Street has a price tag of INR 1.05* lakh which is around INR 22,000 more expensive than the BS-IV Bajaj Avenger Street 160's price - INR 83,251*.

Visually, the BS-VI Bajaj Avenger 220 Cruise is the same as the BS-IV model. There are no aesthetic changes whatsoever. It features the classic cruiser style with low seat height and a relaxed riding posture. Its long windscreen provides good protection from windblasts, especially when riding at high speeds. There is a uniquely designed halogen headlight accompanied by LED DRLs. The chrome rearview mirrors add a classic and retro touch.

The new Avenger 220 Cruise will be powered by the same 220 cc, single-cylinder oil-cooled engine with Twin Spark DTS-i technology. However, it will now comply with the latest and more stringent BS-VI emission norms. To achieve that, Bajaj Auto has added a fuel-injection system and also installed a revised cat-con in the exhaust pipe.

Surprisingly, after all these changes, the engine produces the same amount of power as it did in its BS-IV avatar - 19.03 PS at 8400 rpm , as per a recently leaked official document. As for the torque output, previously it was 17.5 Nm at 7,000 rpm and it might vary slightly now. In its BS-VI avatar, expect the engine to be more refined and smooth. Its performance and fuel-efficiency should have some improvement.

The fully-digital instrument cluster of the Avenger 220 Cruise is being carried forward. It shows a plethora of information like odometer, speedometer, trip meters, time, fuel level, side stand indicator, etc. There is also a secondary display on the fuel tank which is basically for the tell-tale lights like neutral, engine malfunction, etc.

The BS-VI Avenger 220 Cruise will have a telescopic suspension setup with anti-friction bushes at the front and twin shock absorbers at the rear. The braking duties are carried out by a 260 mm front disc and 130 mm rear drum. A single-channel ABS is standard.

The price of the BS-VI Bajaj Avenger 220 Cruise is INR 1.15 lakh*. The new bike is around INR 11,000* dearer than the BS-IV model. It will be available in at least two colour options - Moon White and Auburn Black.

Both the BS-VI Bajaj Avenger 220 models (Street and Cruise) will carry forward the same 220 cc single-cylinder, oil-cooled, Twin Spark DTS-i engine that used to produce 19.03 PS of max power at 8,400 rpm and 17.5 Nm of peak torque at 7,000 rpm in the BS-IV models.

Bajaj Auto has somehow managed to keep the power figure of the 220 cc engine unchanged. While the torque figure isn't out yet, we suspect that even if there is a change, it would be marginal.

The BS-VI Avenger 220 Cruise will have the same length (2210 mm), width (806 mm), and wheelbase (1490 mm) as the BS-IV model, but its height will be 1,142 mm not 1,321 mm like that of the latter. Maybe the BS-VI version will have a shorter windscreen.

As far as the dimensions of the BS-VI Bajaj Avenger 220 Street are concerned, they are exactly the same as the old model's. It measures 2,210 mm in length, 1,490 mm in width and 1,070 mm in height.

The BS-VI Bajaj Avenger 220 Cruiser and Street would be the same in terms of styling and design as the old models. They would also have the same cycle parts like the suspension setup, braking setup, etc.

The BS-VI Bajaj Avenger 220 models are expected to be priced at INR 1.15 lakh* and thus be around INR 11.5k more expensive than their BS-IV counterparts. Both will be launched very soon.

With the BS-VI update, the Bajaj Avenger 160 will get an INR 7,501 price hike and thus its new price will be INR 89,536*. The on-road pricing of the same will touch INR 1.13 lakh now. Bajaj Auto dealers have already started accepting bookings for the updated model. The BS-VI version will be cosmetically the same as the BS-IV version. However, the former will use fuel-injection instead of carburetor on its 160.4 cc single-cylinder, air-cooled engine. This in its current BS-IV form develops 15 PS and 13.5 Nm of torque.

The BS-VI Avenger 220 Cruise and Street, will be priced at INR 1.15 lakh*, this is INR 11,584 more expensive than the outgoing BS-IV compliant models. The on-road cost of the same now lies at INR 1.43 lakh. Select Bajaj dealers around the country have also started accepting bookings of the same. This is the second big update for the Bajaj Avenger 220 Street and Cruise since the launch. The first update to these models was given exactly a year back when they were given a single-channel ABS and their prices crossed the INR 1 lakh (ex-showroom) mark.

The BS-VI Bajaj Avenger 220 Cruiser and Street will be the same in terms of styling and design as the old models. Their 220 cc single-cylinder engine, however, will be equipped with fuel-injection technology, and this might lead to slightly different outputs. The BS-IV version delivers 19 PS of maximum power at 8,400 rpm and 17.5 Nm of maximum torque at 7,000 rpm.

The maximum savings (INR 7,200) and cash discount (INR 6,000) are for the Dominar 400. Check out the model wise savings in the table below:

Festive season offers aim to boost sales during the high demand period. The offers will also help manufacturers clear their BS-IV compliant stock before they start rolling out the BS-VI models. Brands like Yamaha and TVS will start introducing their respective BS-VI compliant motorcycles from as early as November this year.

The new offer will also provide some solace from the recent price hike. Bajaj Auto products got expensive by up to INR 10,001 in the new price revision. The 2019 Dominar 400 was the most affected by the increase as the ex-showroom tag now stands at INR 1,90,002* (vs 1,80,001* previously). The Pulsar Neon, too, received a steep increase of INR 4,000 and the motorcycle now retails at INR 75,200* (vs INR 71,200*). The newly launched Pulsar 125 remained unaffected by the price revision.
