Recently Asked User Questions

Q. Which one to buy between Avenger Cruise, Intruder and Meteor 350?
  • The thump wrapped up in a refined, easy to ride, confident and practical package sounds just right. The lack of oil leaks, or missing parts over our 800km stint makes the package more joyous. The healthy fuel efficiency, 10,000km oil-change intervals and 5000km/6 month service inspections make it more endearing. So, this Royal Enfield fulfills the promise made by the Thunderbird many years ago. However, the Meteor doesn’t make a bigger and bolder promise of its own by way of plush ride quality, a greater sense of richness or, crucially, better cruising ability. On the other hand, if we talk about Suzuki Intruder, for someone who is tired of the run-of-the-mill sports bikes and wants something different, something more attention-grabbing than the Bajaj Avenger 160, the Suzuki Intruder might just do the trick. It looks like nothing else in its segment and that itself should be enough for it make an impact in the market. It also gives the impression of being a larger capacity motorcycle than it actually is. On top of the way it looks, it’s a very capable motorcycle. It will be comfortable for riding around in the city, while the refined motor is efficient. Bajaj Avenger Cruise 220 offers a great balance of comfort, power performance and fuel efficiency. However it has started showing its age, it is still one of value for money bikes in its segment and it would be a great option if you are looking for a smooth and comfortable bike for city commutes and occasional highway ride. You may compare all these bikes accordingly. Do take a test ride in order to get better clarity. Check out authorised dealership details.
Q. I'm suffering from disc prolapse in my lower back. I now own a Himalayan, but May I go for Avenger Cruise 220 or Intruder for better comfort? I'm 6ft tall and weighing 110Kgs. Kindly suggest.
  • The ergonomics and seat of Royal Enfield Himalayan itself is quite comfortable and the upright seating posture is ergonomically perfect for someone 6-feet tall. However, if you are looking to select between the Avenger Street 220 Cruise and Suzuki Intruder, the pick would be difficult for a taller rider. The rider seat of Intruder is angled down towards the tank and a taller rider will inadvertently sit back, putting pressure on the tailbone which can cause discomfort while riding long distances. On the other hand, the long wheelbase and lower seat height of the Avenger 220 Cruise have a part to play in making things difficult for the riders. The seats are well-cushioned and offer enough room for the rider, however, the ergonomics might not be favorable. Moreover, we would suggest you to take a test ride for a better understanding of comfort and compatibility. You may click on the link and select your desired city for dealership details.Read More: - Bajaj Avenger Cruise 220 vs Suzuki Intruder
