Positioned in Bajaj's custom - cruiser motorcycle lineup, the 2023 Bajaj Avenger 220 Cruise features a 220 cc (13.4 cu in) oil & air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 18.8 HP (13.7 kW) at 8,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 17.6 Nm (12.9 lb-ft) at 7,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 85.5 HP per liter and a 1,500 rpm working window between peak torque (7,000 rpm) and peak power (8,500 rpm), the engine character is indicating a tractable, stress-free state of tune focused on everyday usability and broad torque delivery.
On the scales, the Avenger 220 Cruise measures 163 kg (359 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.12 HP/kg (8.67 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 737 mm (29 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 1,490 mm (58.7 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure.
