Q. Which is better Avenger cruise or street 220?
  • Cruise 220 is best for city & Long Driving. I'm using this bike for the past one year. Its comfort is awesome. Its a better option for daily use & Long Drives. For the past one year I have traveled 6 long drives. Comfort and suspension is excellent.
  • Both cruise 220 and street are having same heart ,that is 220cc engine but 220 cruise is looking more classic with its lots of chrome inserts and additionally a wind shield but you should wait till 2019 for new govt. Norms for ABS mandatory for theses bike because I am riding 220 cruise and I am little disappointed with its braking . So as per me u should wait till 2019 for ABS version of avenger range.
  • If you're looking out for the 220cc engine, then its up to you w.r.t the looks. If you're more of that street rider, then look for the Street. Its got the handle bars designed for the streets. Cruise is got more of that highway riding posture. Its more comfortable on the highways and if you're from a place where you got good roads, less traffic, then go for the Avenger Cruise 220.

Q. Sir, which one bike is better between Bajaj Avenger 180 Street and Bajaj Avenger 220 Cruise in terms of mileage, looks, performance and comfort?
  • There’s no difference in terms of performance and fuel efficiency if you compare Street 180 and Cruise 220. Both bike fuel efficiency of 40 at the cost of performance.Major difference in Cruise 220 and Street 180 is in their looks. Street, having flat handlebar, has better handling experience in city traffic. On the other hand, Cruise gives better ‘cruiser like’ feel.
  • Sir mileage is better in 180 street because it have a less cc engine then cruise. Cruise have around 30-35 mileage.Looks make you royal in cruise and make you sporty tourer in street avenger.Performance wise avenger cruise is winner.Comfort wise no doubt blindly avenger cruise is best
  • On looks and comfort, 220 cruise is anyday a hands-on winner for me. On mileage, 180 cruise is reportedly better, naturally because of a lighter, newer fuel efficient engine.

Q. Which is better when you compare cruise 220 vs thunder bird 350?
  • I am an owner of avenger cruise 220 too and I also had some experience with RE. To be frank comparing avenger and RE doesn't make any sense. People with very little to absolutely no knowledge say that you should have bought RE. Don't listen to them, but think and be clear what really you want… Let me break down some points for you1. RE are OLD SCHOOL thumper. Since in every machine the product of SPEED and TORQUE remains constant. RE have a Huge amount of torque and thus they are not fast even with 350cc. On the other hand Avenger have same pulser 220 engine and yes they calibrated that to some extent to produce a decent amount of torque for avenger.We all know RE are slow. They have huge torque and that's why it feels more powerful but that's not true.. You know while riding on road some times people start racing just to show…. whatever… Well I had several these experiences when a RE rider tried to overtake me..lol.. And each n everytime, all I have to do is pull the throttle down just a lil and boom….. They NEVER had been able to overtake me…avenger may not be as fast as a pulser or Duke or any other sports bike but don't forget it's Soul is from one of the fastest bike in India(pulser 220)…its soul is sports and body a cruiser…so it's a quiet an interesting bike.2. Harley Davidson ,indian,etc are different class of bike and the true cruisers having all the physical features of what a cruiser is including high low end torque. On the other hand RE are NOT AT All a cruiser(I am talking about classic 350 and bullet standard,i don't even consider Thunderbird to be a bike… )Thunderbird is an experiment by RE, in my point of view , coz Thunderbird has blunders. Yes, Thunderbird looks AWESOME..I love that bike just for the look. Infact her looks counterbalance every other major or minor drawbacks of her.3. Our mind follow the facts but heart don't…my heart have a secret love for RE. Even though the vibrations are a hassle and it's a fact that they don't feels good to ride even at speed like 55 kmph , people still love it.So the overall conclusion it that you wanted a cruiser type bike and you got 40% genetic cruiser. That's all..be happy with that… Avenger is only cruiser available in such a low price… For a real cruiser , one must go to Harley , Indian, Intruder Suzuki,.4. So do not worry when people say that you sound have bought RE. Think that they are ignorant people who just blindly preach the name of RE without knowing the fact that Avenger is a far better cruiser than RE Thunderbird and much faster than any RE bikes(excluding 500cc).On the other hand RE classic and bullet standard are beautiful classic bikes which are legendary…and that doesn't make avenger inferior.
  • Even though the CC is more on Thunderbird, Cruise 220 wins the Drag. Both the bikes are cruisers and choose the one you like. I personally prefer the Cruise because i save almost 80K and both serves the purpose of being Cruise bikes. Maintenance is cheaper on the Cruise. Choosing one is upto you if you are a fanboy of one of these brands.
  • Well,the avenger churns out 19.5 hp so does the REthunerbird, but the RE has more torque than avenger. average of avenger is 40 and thunderbird below 30. braking of new RE is dual disc while in avenger the back is drum,so RE has an advantage there. the RE has a lot of vibrations and the avenger has negligible, price difference is about 60,000 between the two, and bajaj servicing is very cheap and the spare parts are also very cheap, so the BAJAJ AVENGER is a much more practical in my opinion,,. by the way i have ridden both these bikes a lot, and avenger best in terms of handling too.

    Bajaj Avenger Cruise 220 was an easy decision for  

    Choosing the Bajaj Avenger Cruise 220 was an easy decision for me. I wanted a bike that not only offered a comfortable ride for my daily commutes but also felt right at home on longer journeys. With its classic cruiser styling, complete with a windscreen and spoke wheels, riding the Avenger Cruise 220 always feels like a special occasion. The 220cc engine delivering a power of 19.03 PS and 17.5 Nm of torque, provides a smooth ride whether I am weaving through city traffic or hitting the open highway.The weight of the bike and a soft rear suspension can make bumpy roads a bit challenging.

    " The Bajaj Avenger Cruise 220 has been an excellent bike as it has successfully combined the old school cruiser looks with the new era technology without any hitch. Its distinctive profile and roomy driving style make it a great pick from the crowd.

    Timeless Charm and my pride 

    The Royal Enfield Bullet 350 may be a little bit pricier than the other models, but the model must still be able to attract many motorcycle fans due to its iconic and very characteristic design, as well as reliable performance. For customers, there are three main features to love: classic tailoring, string build, and satisfying rumble exuding from the engine. Riders greatly consider this bicycle’s relaxing features and ability to be changed according to their personal needs. Nonetheless, the few customers consume lack of routine service and ABS analogues as the main issues, which they affirm.

    Huge improvements 

    I am using the bullet 350 es since 2020.I have ridden nearly 20000 km so far.Some pros which i observed while using this bike for nearly 4 years are: 1)good low end torque, 2) carry heavy weight, 3) great sitting posture 4) infinitely customisable 5) great road presence 6) comfortable for long distance travelling both for rider as well as pillion 7) returns good mileage in proportion to its weight 8) old school bullet signature thump can be easily brought back with some modification in exhaust, Bend pipe etc(can lead to heavy challan but again it depends on where you live) 8)kickstart option is lifesaver specially in winter 9)cheaper to maintain compared to some other international brands specially if servicing is done locally 10) parts are available and is quite affordable.However there are some disadvantages which i felt while using this bike.These are 1)bike is heavy 2)weight distribution is disproportionate 3)heavy vibration 4)brakes are spongy 5) factory fitted tyres are thin and tube typed and is prone to frequent puncture 6) electrical wiring need huge improvements.Overall i am happy with my bike as it Service my purpose very well and planning to add more and more kms in time to come.

    The Royal Enfield Bullet 350: A Classic Ride 

    The Bullet 350, manufactured by Royal Enfield, may be considered as a classic design that compliments its reliable performance. It is an older model, which shows itself in the appearance of the car and the basic construction, but still it is quite dependable in terms of performances while driving. Besides improving the performance, the clean and reliable engine with 350cc is a good addition for a leisure trip and for cruising around the city. Having a powerful yet simple heart like a thumping exhaust tone and and dovetailing old school records add more to its appeal, targeting riders who love their simpletons and are proud of their heritage.
