Q. Which is better when you compare cruise 220 vs thunder bird 350?
3.1K Views Follow Question Add Answer61 AnswersSunil | 4 years agoI 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.
Abhishek | 4 years agoEven 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.
Akshay | 5 years agoWell,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.
Mr | 4 years agoAvenger 220 cruise is a value for money bike. I have seen racing videos between Thunderbird 350x, classic 350 and Avenger cruise 220 where 220 won everytime. 220,s Mileage is great, sitting comfort is better, no vibration, no heating issue. But Thunderbird 350 is in a different league
Pritam | 5 years agoIf u r into riding long distance then the tb 350 but it has no abs on the other hand avenger has got abs single channel both the bikes got same power but tb350 has tubetire,350x has tubeless and avenger tube tire.If your budget is somewhat near 2L then should wait for the tb350 abs or should go for classic signals 350 or 500 abs.TB 350 is a nise looking bulky bike as i own one, but on hard braking the tire gets locked, what i would suggest wait a little more for tb to get abs.
Avinash | 5 years agoAvenger cruiser is good for shorter height person other side Thunderbird 350 is right for the person who has height 5 feet and above. Also thunder bird is more powerful than avenger and comfortable too.So don't be confused between these two bikes both has the difference like heaven and earth has. And also technically on higher altitude you will need powerful engine ex. for ladakh ride , hilly road and also Thunderbird is very good on off -road also .
Saurabh | 4 years agoIt purely depends on what you need. For an exhilarating cross-country ride, Thunderbird 350 is anyday ahead of Avenger Cruise 220 because of its size, weight, height and energy. For a comfortable city ride or a leisurely hill ride up, Avenger is better because of its long wheelbase and rider posture.

You satisfy my ego, well said! i feel RE bikes are big mopeds fitted with kirloskar generators.
Manohar | 4 years agoBoth are good but if your tall chap 6+ i suggest you to go for TB350 or else Avenger is the best one with the closed option. A professional riders real time review can be found in this link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E8Ijo9NB1NM
