2018 Bajaj Avenger spied undisguised

Bajaj Avenger is an entry level cruiser motorcycle launched first in 2005 and has managed to find potential customers till date.
With the new Suzuki Intruder launched, Bajaj is getting ready to update its cruiser range.

In 2015, Bajaj revamped the Avenger series, and instead of having just one motorcycle under the brand name, launched three. What this has done to Bajaj Avenger sales is that from selling about 2,500 – 3,500 units a month, the company now sells 25,000 – 30,000 units of Avenger a month.

Bajaj Avenger have grown ten fold in just one year. Now, in order keep up with the growing competition (Suzuki Intruder 150), Bajaj is yet again ready to push out new updates with the Avenger series.

2018 Bajaj Avenger is expected to be launched soon. Updates expected on board the 2018 editions are – LED DRL, revised fuel tank cap, revised seating, new grab rail, single channel ABS, etc

The three variants of Bajaj Avenger on offer in India today are – Bajaj Avenger Street 150, Bajaj Avenger Street 220, and Bajaj Avenger Cruise 220.

Engine will remain same. Avenger Street 150 is powered by a 150 cc four stroke single cylinder air cooled engine which delivers 14.5 PS power and 12.5 Nm torque. The Street 220 and Cruise 220 are powered by a 220 cc single cylinder air cooled engine which delivers 19 PS power and 17.5 Nm torque.

One of the source site mentions the price difference between old and new bike (Avenger Street 220) to be around 9000.

Re: 2018 Bajaj Avenger spied undisguised

With all these updates, price will definitely be higher but still less than Intruder. I think Suzuki helped Bajaj with pricing.

One of the common complaints with Avenger is the rear braking. I am not sure if they are optionally giving a rear disc setup.
Never heard of an ABS setup(single as well) where rear is drum

I hope Bajaj have upgraded the headlights. The pictures suggest they have, as I cannot see the curve of the headlight. Besides, as they claim a DRL, the headlight might have been revamped. The headlight was the only reason I sold my bike. Still regret it.

EDIT: Checked source. It claims discs at the rear too. Engine remains unchanged. speedometer is all digital. Headlamp unit is revamped. Taillights are an LED affair.

Pictures of the new Avenger 220 series
It now comes with a redesigned headlight with DRL, new graphics for Street 220 and new colour scheme for the Cruiser one! It Also comes with Led taillights and an all digital speedometer and odometer.
Sadly there wouldn't be any ABS to be offered.

Just wish it came in red. Oh well. I might just buy the street. Great for Pune traffic, and the occasional outing.

Re: 2018 Bajaj Avenger spied undisguised

Is the new template applicable on the 150 too? Specifically, the instrument console.
