Bajaj Auto gave India its first cruiser – the Kawasaki-Bajaj Eliminator. After the agreement between Kawasaki and Bajaj in India ended, Bajaj bought in the Avenger, which essentially was a modified Eliminator.
Bajaj increased the Avenger’s displacement from 175cc to 180cc, which then became a 200. With new information from our friends at Indian Cars Bikes, that trend will continue with the emergence of the 220cc Avenger.
Bajaj Auto’s spokeswoman Tejaswini -
The Avenger 220 is indeed coming shortly. The Avenger production has not been stopped per se but the Avenger’s 200cc engine has been upgraded to 220cc. This engine is similar to the one on Bajaj Pulsar 220.
The Bajaj Avenger 220 will use a carburetor. It will also be more expensive than the 200cc Avenger. Bajaj is also said to begin bookings for this high displacement cruiser shortly.
Could the 220cc Avenger be a result of the reverberations created with Harley’s entry into India? Could the Avenger 220 play the role of a poor man’s Harley?
