Bajaj Auto was expected to launch the Avenger 220 Street in the country, as revealed by homologation documents filed last year. Recently, Bajaj removed the Avenger 160 Street from the website and listed the Avenger 220 Street with the tag ‘coming soon’. Now, it looks like Bajaj has quietly launched the Avenger 220 Street in India at a price of Rs 1.3 lakh (ex-sh).
2026 Bajaj Avenger 220 Street
It looks like we have launched, as the price tag of Rs 1.3 lakh (ex-sh) (Rs 1,30,172 to be exact) can only be seen in the landing page of the model. In the webpage and navigation menu of the Avenger variant lineup, it still says ‘coming soon’ in the price section. There are two colors to choose from – Ebony Black and Cocktail Wine Red.
In terms of price, the Bajaj Avenger 220 Street is exactly the same as the Avenger 220 Cruise, which is priced at Rs 1,30,172 (ex-sh). This is an interesting strategy as the Avenger 220 Cruise is loaded with chrome bits and trims. Chrome is generally offered at a premium and rival brands are offering chrome variants on their 350cc bikes for around Rs 35k more.
You can see chrome on headlight surrounds, engine guard, radiator grille, exhaust, wheels, ORVMs, levers, bar ends, suspension components, turn indicators, tank ornaments, instrument cluster and many more. On top of the chrome, the Avenger 220 Cruiser also gets value-added accessories like a raised backrest and a tall windscreen.
Specifications, Features
The Avenger 220 Street comes with something that the Avenger 220 Cruise doesn’t have, which are alloy wheels and tubeless tyres. Avenger 160 Street continues to be de-listed from the website, suggesting that it may be permanently discontinued. This leaves Bajaj’s Avenger lineup with an exclusively 220cc offering.
According to the spec sheet available on the website, the Bajaj Avenger 220 Street looks almost the same as before. It will get the same 220cc oil-cooled single-cylinder engine that produces 19.03 PS of maximum power at 8500 RPM and 17.55 Nm of peak torque at 7000 RPM, mated to a 5-speed gearbox.
It has a wheelbase of 1,490 mm, length of 2,210 mm, ground clearance of 169 mm, seat height of 737 mm and weight of 160 kg. It comes with 17-inch front and 15-inch rear alloy wheels shod with 90/90-17 front and 130/90-15 rear tubeless tyres. The fuel tank of the Avenger 220 Street is 13 litres, which could have been bigger as the Pulsar 125 also gets a 15 liter tank.
