Recently Asked User Questions

Q. Which is the better option for city ride and sometimes 100 km tour in long-distance bajaj avenger 160 or Yamaha fzx?
  • The lazy rake angle and the ridiculously long wheelbase of 1480mm might lead you to believe that the Avenger would have a very vague feeling front end and wouldn’t be a nimble handler. But that really isn’t the case. While it wouldn’t be our first choice for some corner-carving action, the front does feel stable enough through the bends. And it turns rather quickly too. But this agility is a bigger boon in the city, where darting through traffic feels easy enough - a good thing as the Avenger 160 is really more of an urban cruiser than an out-and-out highway tourer. On the other hand, if we talk about FZ-X, compared to the regular FZ-FI, the FZ-X’s handlebars are taller and pulled closer to the rider, and the footpegs have been moved quite a bit forwards. So you end up sitting in a very commuters stance. Combine that with the very soft seat and you’re bound to have a back and butt ache if you spend a long time in the saddle. Then there’s the highway performance. You’ll only be able to maintain speeds of about 80-85kmph comfortably on the highway. Anything faster than that makes the bike feel rather strained. And because of this, highway efficiency, while fairly ok at 48.67kmpl, takes a bit of a hit compared to city efficiency. For a better understanding of performance and riding comfort, we would suggest you take a test ride.

Q. I want to know if Bajaj Avenger Street 160 gets slipped on pressing both the brakes? I want to purchase this bike, but some people say that the bike gets out of control if both the brakes are pressed. I also want to know which bike is the best for use?
  • Its fitted with abs..... i used sudden braje when all of sudden a car in front of me applied emergency brake...didnt even skided at all...its all about how hard u hit thr brakes cos the more u hit brakes more pressure applied on abs system
  • Yes you'll definitely slip for first few tries, whether you apply both breaks or single.....because of its big surface tyres and also the angle of fork...but once you are used to it ..then it's as smooth to operate as butter
  • Kindly refer about ABS before accepting that comment on Avenger 160

Q. My height is 5ft which bike will suit me and give comfort to me?
  • Street variant will give you comfort as you are 5 ft. Handling will be easy in the street variant.
  • Take long test drive of both street and cruise and then decide.
  • Yes it is . But have a test ride before buying it for better experience.

  • I own the 2019 Avenger 160 Street ABS from 1.5 Months. Looks wise it is best in its class and if you go for long ride it gives the best seating comfort. You may be thinking that It won"t go fast but I reached 120KMPH speed on it. Before the first service itself it was giving me 37+ Mileage. Yesterday only I am have done with first service to my bike and I am sure I will get 40+ Mileage. -Ve side we speak -1/ Less Power at initial gears (1/2 less power)2/ You have to take all pathholes in the way 3/ Rainy season you have to take full water on the road as the bike is with less height 4/ Length is bit more+ve Sides:1/ Comfort2/ Ground clearance3/ Mileage4/ Looks5/ Modifications you can done in n no of ways
