Bajaj Avenger Cruise 220

I am 6ft. I feel people ranging from 5.4 to 6.1 ft can comfortably ride this bike. Go for it. Hope it goes to be a wonderful buy for you

If you don't have any budget constraint, then go for Thunderbird 350X or the higher version, else you can also go for Avenger 220

Excellent bike--I have driven it for more than 70000KM in past 5yrs with one stretch of more than 1100KM in one day. Easy to maintain with the only caution that every 1800KM it needs an engine oil change & front wheel is slightly risky when at a speed of 120KM.hr which it touches very easily. Mileage is approx 32-35KM / Litre in city limit and the best part is comfort in biking long distance without a backache. I dont find an alternate in this segment as even Intruder of Suzuki is just 150cc and priced similar to what Bajaj Avenger is.

The bike is really good and very comfortable. I used it for 1 year and 3 months. However the deeper insight is as below and hope that serves your query- 1. There is no space for keeping even a pin or a needle in the bike. 2. It is great for the long run but in the city by the time you accelerate the brakes are ready to be pushed. 3. Due to the long & low body, the cutting is little longer and is troublesome in the areas like Chandni Chowk (Rush areas). 4. The bike does shake or shows signs of tiredness after 60-70 speed.

It is available with Spoke wheel having front disc and rear drum brake. Click on the link to know more: https://www.zigwheels.com/newbikes/Bajaj/Avenger-220-Cruise/Standard

No

Both are good, but go for 220 as it has extra power.

Both of them are comfortable in hilly areas.

Yes. Its a very comfortable long route bike. As the name is, you don't drive, but actually cruise.

No ,only the chrome finishing is extra featuree

Although I haven't measured using a scale, I would say the brakes on the Cruise 220 are pretty solid. The stopping distance is highly dependant on your riding experience and if you use engine braking. For obvious reasons, the braking distance would be less if you apply both the brakes, but in case of hard braking, the rear does tend to lock and skid. I've had quote a few instances in my 35000 kms of riding this baby, but I could manage to stabilize it. A 100-0 stop roughly takes about 6-8 seconds.

In term of braking the bike take more time to stop cos it does not have disc from the rear! If it was a disc then it will definitely take less time as compared to drum!
