It has the same bore and stroke and even the power output is nearly the same. It is essentially the same unit as on the Pulsar NS160. The really new bit about the Avenger 160 is, of course, its engine.
But, on the Avenger - or on any other leg-forward cruiser - that’s a tough ask. On most other bikes, one can just stand on the footpegs and take the bite off the impact. And, your lower back will take a beating. Or, try being brave over badly scarred tarmac. Now, mildly broken tarmac and low amplitude undulations are handled well by the Avenger 160 - the benefit of having a soft suspension setup, if you will. Plus, the pegs being ahead means there’s nothing to foul with the legs when leg-paddling in traffic. Even in stop and go traffic, the footpegs aren’t that far forward to cause you to pull a thigh muscle after repeated peg-on-peg-off use. Show it nicely surfaced roads and you’d be able to spend a considerable amount of time in the saddle without bother. Many commuters - and tourers - believe the low seat, the forward set footpegs, and the wide and easy to reach handlebar will make for comfortable seating. The seating ergonomics are one of the reasons consumers buy the Avenger, apart from its design, of course. And it says the new motorcycle strikes the right balance.
So now the bike maker has brought in the 160 Avenger. Now, Bajaj says the consumers - who are mostly commuters - expected better fuel economy numbers from the 180. And so, in came the 180cc version to replace it. But, it wasn’t powerful enough to justify the ‘cruiser’ tag. It was well priced and reasonably fuel efficient. The same, however, cannot be said about the smaller Avenger. No flashes in the pan, and no real slump to talk about. Now, the Avenger 220 has had a fairly consistent run. And with it, it prevents the sales numbers from tumbling so low that it might warrant the discontinuation of the model. And, that’s not bad because if nothing else, it keeps the product fresh. I don’t know about you, but I had to go back and read up to keep track of the number of iterations the Bajaj Avenger has gone through. The Avenger Street 160 competes directly with the Suzuki Intruder 150 in the cruiser market. You can have the Avenger Street 160 in two colour options black or red.
