Avenger first made its appearance with the 180cc engine, sharing the same mill from the then eldest sibling Pulsar 180. When things grew for Bajaj, Avenger was bestowed with a 200cc engine lifted right from Pulsar 200. A few months back Bajaj stopped the production of Pulsar 200 in India and launched Pulsar 220 with a carburetor. Very recently 220cc engine was also shared by another model, Pulsar 220 street fighter naked version at the price where Pulsar 200 used to sell.
According to the news we have, Bajaj is planning to stop the 200cc version of Avenger and, in place, come with the 220cc version with the engine derived directly from the eldest Pulsar in the market today. This move would make Avenger an even more worthy cruiser bike in the country where, anyways, it doesn’t have any real competition. The bike would/could be launched this month itself and most probably will become dearer by around 4-5 thousand rupees falling approximately in the Pulsar 220S version bracket.
This move will definitely help the brand grow into a more powerful bike in turn enabling cruiser maniacs even faster and relaxed cruising on the highways. Keep tuned to BikeAdvice for more info on this.

Bajaj please come up with new concepts, enough of sharing higher cc engines for same old Bikes. Come out with a new design for this avenger atleast.
Discover – 110,125,135,100 and 150cc
…What a disappointment.
Pulsar – 150,180,200,220,220F,and 220S – Pulsar 135ls(xcd sprint) stands out of this box as it is fresh and stylish than its elder siblings.
Avenger – 180,200 and 220
Expecting a new av[atar]enger from Bajaj.
now old avanger users please stop crying.this happens at bajaj regularly.
Yes, as Roshan said, it always happens @ Bajaj.
Frequent Upgrades but no new designs and no new models.
so there is no refresh in the avenger model except engine?
Guyzzz… Why can’t I spot any Bajaj 220S in the roads of Kolkata?? Even it is not listed in the Bajaj website…. I have not visited any Bajaj Probiking shop in Kolkata but can’t understand why I haven’t spotted single one.. However seen plenty 220F here…
is the launch date fixed?
Hey dear bajaj, kinldy design new looks and other design for avenger..always upgrading engine is not so pleasing,try to work on designing new concepts in the looks of body.
Hello, i am planning to buy this bike (Bjaj Avenger 220cc), please suggest me is this my correct decesion. Also tell me, is this working fine without kick option.
Hi Guys, just purchased new Bajaj Avenger (Red Beauty) on this Diwali. its very cool Bike, gud road grip, awesome look & powerfull pickup. and how can i forget the great seating comfort. One can ride this vehicle as long as he can. Normally people dont suggest this bike because its very rarely seen, but if u realy want to enjoy biking, go for it. this is the best bike i ever droven.
I, P.C. Tiwari. I want buy a Bajaj Avenger 220 cc(Black) on New Year 2011 its my favourate bike but I very confused because of bike start with only switch not a kick option in this bike. As I know mostly bike & scooter wihich is start with switch they are craet a problem on wintter session so I very much confused please sugget me fact- technically.
@ Prem: Dont worry about the start switch. I have been using Avenger 220 since Nov 2010 and never failed to start, even in cold days. I never used choke to start the bike. Just keep it in idle for 1 minute after starting. So that engine would get time to get warm and be ready to serve u.
Yup don’t worry.
It’s normal….
All European bikes has same style..
and now this style is being intro in india.
I too have same stuff in my YAMAHA FAZER

Hi all,
I have stunner, its good for city ridding.
I am looking for a bike that I can use for long rides, from the above comments I feel that avenger is the bike for me.
My major concern is that the bike should not vibrate/shake when you turn the throttle and speed goes beyond 90kmph. Because that happned when I took my stunner to GOA from Pune.
I am a bit confuse between R15 and avenger 220
Please let me know your comments.
Thanks
Harsh
Dear Harsh, me too was confused between these two bikes but Avenger will be better option if U realy want to enjoy a comfertable riding.
@Harsh: Most of bike more than 200 CC will do ur JOb.

Hi guys Avenger 220 cc really an awesome and rocking bike. IT’S ONE OF BIKE IN TOP TEN BIKES LISTS IN INDIA……… Feel like God…………..
It was frustrating and very bad experiance offered by the bajaj service center at andheri(W)amboli,
To all people one should not purchace bajaj bike becauce you have to stand like a BEGGAR for free servicing,only the bike is just washed and returned back.
people like Mr.Kalpesh working at the same service centre as Customer advisor should be thrown out for his pathetic behaviour,who prefers his own bike to be serviced first before customers.
BAJAJ is worst in terms of post purchase services staff needs to be trained to survive in the compatitive market.
whats the cost of avenger now.and is thr any problem for this bike.pls giv ur sugession nd opinion
Hello Sir,
I have a plan to go for Avenger 220CC, but i am startled to it’s Button Start. Is there any modification going to happen on the Button Start to Kick Start, and also kindly let me know the Mileage of the Vehicle. Also kindly notify me regarding the Advantages and Disadvantages. This could be my dream Vehicle. I will wait for your response.
Thanking You,
Dhaneswar Mohanty.
