Bajaj Avenger Range Set To Go Green; BS6 Prices Revealed!

The premium you pay is primarily for the addition of fuel injection. Like most of the BS6-compliant versions of existing BS4-compliant two-wheelers, expect a minor deficit in power or torque in favour of cleaner emissions. The Avenger Street and Cruise 220 make 19.03PS at 8400rpm and 17.5Nm at 7000rpm from its 220cc air-cooled motor with oil cooler. On the other hand, the Avenger Street 160's 160cc air-cooled powertrain produces 15PS at 8500rpm and 13.5Nm at 7000rpm.

Thanks to the addition of fuel injection and other emission restricting components in the exhaust, the kerb weight of the motorcycles are bound to go up too. At present, the BS4-compliant Avenger Street 160 weighs 154kg kerb, whereas the Street 220 weighs 1kg more. On the other hand, the Avenger Cruise 220 tips the scales at 159kg kerb.

Apart from the cleaner engine, Bajaj could also offer new colour schemes for a fresher look. But other than these changes, underpinnings and features are likely to remain intact. The only other rival to the Avenger range in the budget cruiser segment will be the recently unveiled Suzuki Intruder BS6.
