La Avenger 220 surgió como una versión refinada con un motor más grande de 220 cc, y ganó popularidad por ofrecer una experiencia de conducción relajada a un precio asequible en el mercado indio.

Lo que los compradores deben saber
Watch the Carburetor
The Avenger 220 carbureted models are known for occasional idling issues and carburetor clogging, especially if the bike sits unused for extended periods. Regular cleaning and fresh fuel prevent most of these problems.
Decent Resale Value
The Avenger 220 holds reasonably strong resale value in the Indian market due to its niche cruiser positioning and loyal fan base. A well-maintained example typically retains 55–65% of its value after 3 years.
Cruiser Comfort Wins
Its low, relaxed riding posture with a long wheelbase makes it one of the most highway-comfortable bikes under ₹1.5 lakh, reducing fatigue on long rides. The split seat design also adds a distinctive retro-cruiser aesthetic unique in its segment.
Generaciones y especificaciones por año
Se lanzó el Avenger 200 original; el motor DTS-i de 220 cc se introdujo en 2007 en sustitución de la unidad de 200 cc.
"El primer crucero de verdad de la India, defectuoso pero realmente adictivo."
El 220 DTS-i tiraba con más fuerza que el anterior 200 y, en un largo tramo de carretera a 90 o 100 km/h, la sensación era imparable: relajada, con un par de torsión y un asiento inclinado que hacía que se sintiera a tres metros de altura. La conducción urbana es donde se gana sus moretones: las barras anchas atrapan el tráfico, el carburador tropieza con los arranques en frío hasta que se calienta adecuadamente y la suspensión trasera es embarazosamente de madera sobre un asfalto roto. La frenada era mi mayor problema de confianza: la combinación de batería trasera y un solo disco delantero exige una planificación temprana y punto final. Pero en 2007 no había nada en este rango de precios que te diera esa postura, tanta compostura en carretera o tanta satisfacción al llegar a un dhaba después de 300 kilómetros.

Reseña de un comprador usado
"Solid budget cruiser if you buy carefully and manage expectations."
$1,500-$3,000 usedThe Avenger 220 is Bajaj's honest attempt at a budget cruiser, and for the money, it mostly delivers. That 220cc single thumps along happily at highway speeds, the riding position is genuinely relaxed, and the whole package looks the part without trying too hard. Used examples are everywhere, which keeps prices sensible and parts availability decent. Here's where you need to pay attention on a used buy: check the front forks for leaks obsessively, inspect the rear shock for sagging, and listen for any rattles from that single-cylinder at idle — they can develop valve train noise if previous owners skipped services. The braking setup is mediocre at best, so budget for upgraded pads immediately. Electrics can be temperamental on older units, so test every switch and light before handing over cash. For commuting and weekend pootling on B-roads, it's genuinely enjoyable and surprisingly comfortable. Just don't expect sportsbike urgency or premium build quality — this is honest, budget-friendly motorcycling, nothing more.
