BAJAJ AVENGER 220 DTS-I (2010-2014) 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 2010, the Indian motorcycle maker launched the Bajaj Avenger 220 DTS-i, the family's largest displacement model, featuring several modifications to its fuel tank-mounted dials and headlight. The bike was delivered in several color schemes.

The bike's visual department was characterized by standard fittings, 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.

In the power department, the 2010 Bajaj Avenger 220 DTS-i had its heartbeat set by a 219cc four-stroke oil-cooled single-cylinder engine that delivered an output power of 19 hp at 8,400 rpm and 18 Nm (13 lb-ft) torque at 7,000 rpm.

The power generated by the engine was transferred to the rear end via a five-speed transmission and a final chain drive, pushing the cruiser to a top speed of 137 kph (85 mph).

For suspension, the motorcycle packed a telescopic fork on the front that offered 140 mm of travel and a five-way preload-adjustable hydraulic shock absorber on the rear, offering 90 mm of travel.
