Bajaj Working on Avenger 160 Street Cruiser Motorcycle

Bajaj Avenger 160 Street will soon be a reality, leaving fans with a product that is not just more eco-friendly but also brings more output with its smaller displacement. The 4-valve engine on the Pulsar NS160 will serve as the engine while gearbox will stay 5-speed on the model. The upside points for NS160’s engine outweighs the process of taking the old 180cc through a strict overhaul for being BS6 compliant. The change in engine preference will also clear that how other products like Pulsar 180 and semi-faired 180F will survive the tough times. The 150cc and 220cc engines are also built on the same architecture.

Bajaj Pulsar range employs 150cc, 180cc, 220cc, 160cc and 200cc engine options for the buyers, with last two being advanced enough to shift easily into the strict emission outputs. On the other hand, the majority of the sales is achieved through the basic 150cc engine used on the Pulsar series. Bajaj Avenger 160 Street would mean higher production of the oil-cooled motor and thus, pricing may not be increased with a huge difference like the basic engines.

The use of 180cc engine helped Bajaj gain more buyers and fewer complaints than the 150cc version. However, the 160cc engine will bring 1 Nm of additional torque over the similar power output and thus, a win-win situation for the buyers if the engine is not detuned for the cruiser-friendly riding. The Avenger 160 Street is expected to be priced around INR 1 lakh with 1-channel ABS. The BS6 emission norms are coming into action from April 1, 2020. The brands have 1-year to finalize their future strategies and once they are done, reshuffling of products will be the first effect for the buyers.

Which one is best for daily commute for 50 km Ntorq or Avenger 160 street?
2023-09-08 11:26:28 AM

Both are different segment vehicles and come under different price ranges too. If you're looking for a fast, fun-to-ride, and feature-rich scooter at a price, the TVS Ntorq 125 is the right choice for you. It still remains the benchmark for performance in its class and the sporty styling adds to its appeal. Our only grouse is the premium pricing post the BS6 update. On the other hand, if budget is not an issue and want better power performance and comfortable ride quality, you may go for Bajaj Avenger Street 160. You may compare both vehicles accordingly. Take a test ride in order to get better clarity.

Is the back suspension good or bad in Bajaj Avenger 160?
2023-09-08 11:24:36 AM

Bajaj Avenger Street 160 offers comfortable ride quality. The simple suspension system - telescopic forks and twin rear shock absorbers - works amazingly well on bad roads, as long as you don’t try and tackle very large bumps at speed. As you’d expect from a cruiser, suspension travel isn’t the longest, so it can bottom out on really nasty potholes. Moreover, we would suggest you take a test ride for a better understanding of performance and comfort.

Which is the preferable choice for city rides and occasional long-distance journeys - the Bajaj Avenger 160 or the Yamaha FZX?
2023-01-26 10:59:36 AM
The Avenger 160 is a great urban cruiser, with its sharp agility making it a great machine for darting through city traffic. However, its long wheelbase does limit its corner-carving abilities, making it more of a highway tourer than a corner-carving machine. The FZ-X on the other hand, has a much more commuter-friendly stance, with its taller handlebars and forward-set footpegs. However, this comes at a slight cost in terms of highway performance, with the bike feeling strained at speeds above 80-85kmph. Its highway efficiency is also slightly lower than its city efficiency. Ultimately, if you're looking for a machine that's great for urban commuting, the Avenger 160 is an excellent choice, while the FZ-X is better suited for short, city-based rides. To get an accurate picture of each bike's performance and riding comfort, we suggest taking a test ride before making a decision.
