Recently Asked User Questions

Q. Which one is the best, Bajaj Avenger Cruise 220 or TVS Ronin?
  • Both bikes are good in their own forte, Bajaj Avenger Cruise 220 comes with a host of value additions. The most pronounced of the lot is its headlight cluster that embraces an integrated windshield and headlamp with LED DRLs, a digital instrument cluster with blue backlight, a highway comfort handlebar, an integrated tail lamp, and more. The latest added Moon White paint job looks fascinating. Further on the features list are elements like a low slung seat, black backrest for the pillion, wider rear tyre, new body graphics, and larger Avenger insignia. With no change in the mechanical department, it continues to house a DTS-i 220cc engine, which is powerful and economical at the same time. On the other hand, the Ronin is surely a brave new step for TVS. But despite the premium features and hardware, it does not entirely qualify as a jack-of-all-trades. It’s a well-rounded urban motorcycle dispatching city commutes with ease, but on the open road, it lacks oomph. Moreover, we would suggest you to take a test ride before making the final decision. Follow the link and select your desired city for dealership details.
Q. What is the difference between Bajaj Avenger Cruise and Street?
  • Both Bajaj Avenger Street 220 and Cruise 220 came with the same powertrain options and underpinnings. While Bajaj has retained the overall silhouette of the original Avenger, they have done well to give both the bikes a unique identity. The Street 220 gets a matte black treatment all around – on the headlight cowl, handlebars, instrumentation on the tank and the exhaust. All the aforementioned parts on the Cruise 220 are brushed in chrome. The matte black finish though looks a lot better finished than the chrome. While the Cruise 220 makes do with spoke wheels, the Street 220 ends up having more presence due to the addition of alloy wheels. Both bikes sport different handlebars too. However, Bajaj is yet to launch the BS6-compliant version of the Avenger Street 220.
Q. Which bike is better, Meteor 350 or Avenger 220 for those having back pain problem?
  • I dt like avenger
  • If you have less budget avenger is great
