Bajaj Avenger Cruise 220 vs Suzuki Intruder

Question 1

Q. Which one to buy between Avenger Cruise, Intruder and Meteor 350?

Answer

The thump wrapped up in a refined, easy to ride, confident and practical package sounds just right. The lack of oil leaks, or missing parts over our 800km stint makes the package more joyous. The healthy fuel efficiency, 10,000km oil-change intervals and 5000km/6 month service inspections make it more endearing. So, this Royal Enfield fulfills the promise made by the Thunderbird many years ago. However, the Meteor doesn’t make a bigger and bolder promise of its own by way of plush ride quality, a greater sense of richness or, crucially, better cruising ability. On the other hand, if we talk about Suzuki Intruder, for someone who is tired of the run-of-the-mill sports bikes and wants something different, something more attention-grabbing than the Bajaj Avenger 160, the Suzuki Intruder might just do the trick. It looks like nothing else in its segment and that itself should be enough for it make an impact in the market. It also gives the impression of being a larger capacity motorcycle than it actually is. On top of the way it looks, it’s a very capable motorcycle. It will be comfortable for riding around in the city, while the refined motor is efficient. Bajaj Avenger Cruise 220 offers a great balance of comfort, power performance and fuel efficiency. However it has started showing its age, it is still one of value for money bikes in its segment and it would be a great option if you are looking for a smooth and comfortable bike for city commutes and occasional highway ride. You may compare all these bikes accordingly. Do take a test ride in order to get better clarity. Check out authorised dealership details.

Question 2

Q. Which one is the best, Bajaj Avenger Cruise 220 or TVS Ronin?

Answer

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.

Question 3

Q. Which would you advise between Suzuki Intruder Or Hero Xpulse 200t, considering reliability, low maintenance for touring across country with pillion? Power, mileage price,features & looks are secondary to me.

Answer

Selecting the right bike would depend on several factors such as your budget preference on the segment, features required, engine options, brand preference, etc. Suzuki Intruder is powered by a 155 cc engine. This Intruder engine generates a power of 13.6 PS @ 8000 rpm and a torque of 13.8 Nm @ 6000 rpm. Its design is inspired from the larger Intruder cruiser bikes. The bike’s design is dominated by the front cowl housing the big headlamp unit flanked by fuel tank extensions. The rear gets a large dual-barrel exhaust and bulky rear cowl. The Intruder 150 shares the Gixxer’s engine, frame, suspension, brakes, wheels and tyres, but it’s been slightly modified to accommodate the cruiser styling. The front forks and rear mono-shock have also been tweaked to suit the nature of the bike, and the swingarm is longer now. On the other hand, if we talk about Hero XPulse 200T it is equipped with a 199.6 cc engine. This XPulse 200T engine generates a power of 18.1 PS @ 8500 rpm and a torque of 16.15 Nm @ 6500 rpm. One of the essential features of the bike is its full-LED headlamp and tail lamp. It also comes with a fully digital instrument cluster that gets Bluetooth connectivity and shows call status, turn-by-turn navigation, gear position, and trip details, apart from the regular trove of information. The Bluetooth works via the Hero smartphone app. This motorcycle also gets a nifty tail rack to secure small luggage. 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.

Question 4

Q. What is the difference between Bajaj Avenger Cruise and Street?

Answer

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.

Question 5

Q. Which bike is better, Meteor 350 or Avenger 220 for those having back pain problem?

Answer

Question 6

Q. I'm suffering from disc prolapse in my lower back. I now own a Himalayan, but May I go for Avenger Cruise 220 or Intruder for better comfort? I'm 6ft tall and weighing 110Kgs. Kindly suggest.

Answer

The ergonomics and seat of Royal Enfield Himalayan itself is quite comfortable and the upright seating posture is ergonomically perfect for someone 6-feet tall. However, if you are looking to select between the Avenger Street 220 Cruise and Suzuki Intruder, the pick would be difficult for a taller rider. The rider seat of Intruder is angled down towards the tank and a taller rider will inadvertently sit back, putting pressure on the tailbone which can cause discomfort while riding long distances. On the other hand, the long wheelbase and lower seat height of the Avenger 220 Cruise have a part to play in making things difficult for the riders. The seats are well-cushioned and offer enough room for the rider, however, the ergonomics might not be favorable. Moreover, we would suggest you to take a test ride for a better understanding of comfort and compatibility.
