The Bajaj Avenger 220 Street is a street motorcycle from Bajaj Auto. It has been discontinued. Mechiee still services it at your doorstep. Naked and roadster bikes pair a lively engine with an upright riding position and little or no fairing, which makes them easy to live with every day. With a 220 cc engine it sits in the 150–250 cc class.
Power comes from a 220 cc single-cylinder oil-cooled fuel-injected engine that makes 19.03 PS at 8,500 rpm and 17.55 Nm of torque at 7,000 rpm. Divide power by kerb weight and it has about 119 PS per tonne; by that measure, there is enough go for confident city riding and relaxed highway cruising. The claimed top speed is 120 km/h. It has electric start.
It has a 5-speed manual gearbox, and a chain carries drive to the rear wheel. It uses a wet multi-plate clutch.
It is built around a tubular double cradle type frame. Suspension is by telescopic with double anti friction bush forks at the front and 5 step adjustable twin shock absorber at the rear. Braking is by a 280 mm disc at the front and a 130 mm drum at the rear, with single-channel ABS. Single-channel ABS works on the front wheel, which does most of the stopping. It rides on 17-inch front and 15-inch rear alloy wheels with tubeless tyres — 90/90-17 at the front and 130/90-15 at the rear.
The seat is 737 mm off the ground, which is low and makes it easy to put your feet down. It weighs 160 kg ready to ride. Ground clearance is 169 mm — enough for most speed breakers. It is 2,210 mm long, with 1,490 mm between the axles. It carries 13 L of fuel.
Equipment includes a digital instrument console, a halogen headlamp, gear position indicator, daytime running lamps, service due indicator and windscreen. Safety equipment includes engine kill switch and low fuel indicator.
For the Bajaj Avenger 220 Street, Mechiee offers a fixed ₹1,299 doorstep service.
It is best suited to riders who want performance with an upright, everyday-friendly posture. Its low seat also makes it approachable for shorter and newer riders.
Its chain drive needs regular cleaning, lubrication and slack adjustment.
