How does the Bajaj Avenger Street 160 Ride?
The Avenger Street is a cruiser-style motorbike that puts the rider in an upright riding position with a straight handlebar that is simple to reach. The foot pegs are placed forward for a more relaxed riding experience. For city and short highway journeys, the seat is well-cushioned, and the suspension is capable of handling a variety of road conditions.
The quality of the ride is also unchanged. The seat is comfortable, and the suspension is a little squishy. The rear tends to bottom out when driving over a deep pothole. Because of the feet-forward seating position, you'll receive a shock up your spine when it does that. Speaking of ergonomics, I'm not a fan of the bike's - your feet are front as on a cruiser, but the handlebars are more in line with a typical street motorbike, and this does tax your core over extended periods.
Apart from its appearance, the Avenger's sitting ergonomics are one of the reasons people buy it. Many commuters and tourers feel that the low seat, forward-set foot pegs, and wide, easy-to-reach handlebar will provide comfortable sitting. It does so, for most of the part.
Show its well-maintained roads, and you'll be able to spend a lot of time in the saddle without any problems. Even in stop-and-go traffic, the foot pegs aren't far enough forward to cause a thigh muscle to tear from frequent peg-on-peg-off use. Furthermore, because the pegs are in front, there is nothing to foul with the legs while leg-paddling in traffic.
The Avenger Street 160 is a well-built motorcycle with a low-slung cruiser appearance. The seat height is low for a relaxed riding stance, the wheelbase is longer, and the footpegs are positioned front. A circular headlamp, a simple digital Plus analogue speedometer, and a streamlined fuel tank are all standard features. The seat is made up of a single component that acts as a step. The construction quality and fit-and-finish of the various pieces are satisfactory. Alloy wheels contribute to the whole package's sportiness and street-oriented design language.

The Avenger 160's engine is, of course, the most innovative feature. On the Pulsar NS160, it's effectively the same device. It features the same bore and stroke, as well as a virtually identical power output. It produces about 15 bhp and a little over 13 Nm, which is nearly similar to the 180cc Avenger's output. Back to the NS160 engine, the main difference between the two is that the Avenger has a two-valve head, whilst the NS has a four-valve authority.
The Avenger 160's engine feels and sounds like the rest of its siblings on the road. As a result, it's rather loud. The vibrations begin to come in as you reach the mid-range. Furthermore, the vibrations increase when the engine is revved higher. Yes, it's a linear proportional relationship. So much so that a dot of light in the rear view mirror transforms into a massive circle as it approaches its redline, as if someone were light painting!
The Avenger 160 Street ABS is now officially the most inexpensive cruiser on the market. The Bajaj Avenger 160 Street ABS is India's most inexpensive cruiser, priced at Rs 1.01 (ex-showroom Delhi). It is Rs 6,000 less expensive than the previous Avenger 180, but it has additional functionality. In fact, the Suzuki Intruder 150, the next best option, costs Rs 12,400 more!
Aside from being a good deal, the Avenger 160 accomplishes everything you'd expect from an entry-level city cruiser. Yes, it lacks the lungs for lengthy highway trips, but there's always the option of upgrading to the 220cc model. The Avenger 160 Street is a good choice for people looking for a city commuter that can also be used on weekends.
Bajaj chose the 160cc engine over the 180cc engine for various reasons, one of which was to improve fuel efficiency. It also returned a bit over 45kmpl on our city run. These statistics aren't ideal, especially for a 160cc motorbike, but they're a step forward.
Pros
- Good stability
- Decent engine
- Affordable cruiser
Cons
- Lack features
- Dated design
- Braking could be better
Verdict
The Bajaj Avenger Street 160 offers an affordable package in a cruiser-like design over what is essentially a commuter motorcycle. Ergonomics are feet forward and the suspension is softly sprung, not so great while going over broken surfaces. While the engine is good enough to potter around the city, the Avenger Street 160 is happiest at speeds under 80 kmph, and that limits its touring capabilities.
