150 makes way for 180 – and, in doing so, Bajaj has bettered the value proposition of its entry-level cruiser.
For over a decade, the Bajaj Avenger remained unchallenged in the 150-200cc cruiser space. But, with the recent launch of the Suzuki Intruder 150, the undisputed reign of the Avenger has finally been challenged. So, to add more value to the Avenger range, Bajaj decided to replace its 150cc Avenger with the new 180.
Street cred
While the overall silhouette of the Avenger 180 remains more or less familiar, it does have its fair share of changes in terms of its design. The round headlight has been replaced a stretched skull-shaped headlight outlined by a matte silver finish, at the bottom which sits an arc-shaped LED DRL. Bajaj has fitted the Avenger 180 with a short windscreen too – while it’s not meant to protect the rider from the wind, it does add some aesthetic value to the bike. Other changes include a redesigned taillight and a new grab rail with an integrated moulding for enhanced pillion comfort. The texture of the seat now has a faux carbon fibre texture, but the seat profile remains more or less unchanged. And, just like before, the Avenger 180 will also be available only in its Street avatar. If you want a bit more chrome on your motorcycle, you’ll have to go for the Avenger 220 Cruise.
