BAJAJ AVENGER 200 DTS-I (2007-2008) Specs, Performance & Photos

The Bajaj Avenger was a cruiser-styled motorcycle designed and manufactured by Bajaj Auto in India. It had styling and design cues borrowed from the Kawasaki Eliminator, packing a 180cc engine first and then increasing to 200 and 220cc.

In 2007, the Indian motorcycle maker released the Bajaj Avenger 200 DTS-i, an updated version of the 180cc model. The engine's displacement was increased from 180 to 200cc and featured an oil-cooled system.

In the visual department, the 200cc version was identical to the smaller one, packing standard features, such as a round headlight, a tall windscreen, a teardrop-shaped fuel tank with instruments mounted on top, a one-piece dual seat with a passenger backrest, a single exhaust system with a silencer mounted on the right-hand side, and wire-spoke wheels.

As for the power figures, the 2007 Bajaj Avenger 200 DTS-i had installed a 199cc four-stroke single-cylinder oil-cooled engine underneath its teardrop-shaped fuel tank, delivering an output power of 17 hp with a peak force at 8,000 rpm and 17 Nm (12 lb-ft) torque at 6,000 rpm.

A five-speed gearbox with a wet multi-plate clutch redirected the power generated by the engine to the rear wheel via a final chain drive, pushing the motorcycle to a top speed of 115 kph (72 mph).

From top speed to a complete halt, the bike relied on a 260 mm brake disc on the front and a 180 mm drum braking unit on the rear, offering optimum braking performance.
