It recently emerged that Bajaj Auto Ltd, one of the most popular two-wheeler companies in India, is about to launch new variants of the Avenger cruiser bike. One of the upcoming models will have a 180cc engine and will probably replace the current 150cc variant. The new model will go on sale alongside the new 2018 Bajaj Avenger 220. The updated motorcycle will try to displace the Suzuki Intruder 150 from the limelight by offering substantially more power and a better value proposition. Seen here in this post are a handful of spy images of the upcoming Avenger 220. While there’s quite a bit of camouflage on the test mule, there are good chances that the new model will launch by the end of next quarter.
