Bajaj Avenger Street 160 vs Hero XPulse 200T Comparison

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.

A tourer version to the Xpulse range, the Xpulse 200T offers equally satisfying ride in the city as it does on the highways, coupled with excellent handling dynamics going over in corners helps its case. However, the design is not its strongest virtue, as is a vibrating engine at higher speeds that creeps into the handlebar. The absence of a fuel injected engine also adds to a low refinement on the engine.
