i have to admit... +PowerDrift made me fall in love with bikes. i was used to city riding and i was absolutely satisfied and fullfilled by my HONDA Aviator. No gears. just accelerate as much as u want without the constant gear shifts and i totally used to LOTHE bikes. but then.. i found you guys. your videos. your editing and that thrill you guys created with those amazing visuals and music. you opened up the world of BIKE's for me. your video's sparked and ignited the fire in me for the love of these amazing beasts. and since then i havent looked back. sold my aviator and finally bought my own bike last week. THANKYOU for all the beautiful videos. LOVE YOUR WORK! Kudos to you all.
+Dewang Trivedi That is some comment Dewang. Much love from Team PD :)
+PowerDrift you guys are so inspiring, am writing a script with your likeness(albal & sagar), just dont sue me when it gets out
Looks like testosterone has hit pd's peanut sized racer hard!#noShaveNovember 😂
+Sarvesh Sangle Hahahahaaha!
+Sarvesh Sangle Exactly what went up my mind the moment I saw him.
Jorge's helmet!! All the best Varun!!!... How are the handle grips as compared to previous gen Avenger?
+Akshay Ballal Hahahaha! He saw that coming. The handle grips are pretty north on comfort!
+PowerDrift as obvious after Valencia
Hi! :P
Thank you fr a review. Next time, please reduce the rate of your speech. I could barely understand your english.
+Adisak Kuphanlam Feedback is appreciated! :)
Hey guys, this is off topic but y'all make the beastly motorcycle and motorcycle reviews videos in India!!! and I am a big fan for the powerdrift. I personal would love to see a shootout on best starers bikes in India. I'm pretty sure lot of other PDarmy would agree with me! cheers! 😁
+karan ajith kumar That sounds like a plan ;)
agreed...
Sudden increase in the music volume is really irritating, have to go back every time to listen clearly what they say because music and other noises interfere too much and also voices are muffled . Just trying to help you improve .
+Ninad Ganore Noted! We were testing some new equipment over here, hence the niggles. bit.ly/D3VIL - none here :)
Can we put the seat of a RE Classic in avenger street....?
I got the street 220 ... about 25 days ago ...!! love it ..!! nd good descent mileage ... !! love the throttle response too ..!!
+Mukhil P Exactly! Crispier now :D

The best indian cruiser .
Amazing bike , Nice review PD
+Alpha Bravo Cheers :)
Dear Sir,
I need your help, actually I have bought bajaj Avenger 220 street last month. Pick up of the bike was not so powerful, I thought because it is a new bike after 1st service everything will be fine, but the problem remains the same. I have a friend who also has got the same bike 1 year ago, I drove his bike and I was surprised to see the pick up of the bike. Pick up was so powerful. I mean how is this possible, same engine same bike but the difference in the power of both the bikes was so big. He also drove my bike and he also felt the problem. He said the pick of the bike is dead. I talked with the mechanic in the showroom but he could not resolve the issue. Is there anything with the AFR nut? Plz help Sir. Waiting for your response.
Hey PD, any plans of reviewing Mahindra Mojo?? Seriously wanna know what u folks think of it..
+puneeth harlapur Yes yes, we do have plans :)
I've had the Cruise 220 for over two weeks now, and with an average run of 80 km per day in the city, I've had no issues so far. prior to the first service it gave me around 35 kmpl, yet to test after the service. The seats are very comfortable but it may be a little tiring if you carry a pillion around, not when you're riding alone. Pretty much true to the slogan of Feel Like God.
+Tushar Mehta And we have a happy buyer here! Cheers :D
+PowerDrift nice video!
I want to buy 150cc. i am a beginner and i am much confused if i have to go with 220cc..I mostly use it in cities and very few (3to4times a year) highway rides(to my home -250kms). I am more concerned about mileage and not speed..will 150cc be my best choice or 220?
i am fine if my bike gives me 90kmph to 100 kmph on the highway rides which is very rare..
is there anything (feature) that is better in 150cc than 220cc other than mileage ??
Bajaj has done great in so many ways with these bikes.
+Vimal Raj Venugopal Cannot disagree with you on that one but a lot more has to arrive!
Avenger is comfortable for height or short mens?
I love the look that windshield gives nd the chrome finish.......but wen i visited the showroom i got a lil confused coz of street.....just that whch wil look more bttr....nothing else.....though i find cruise more attractive
Hi Powerdrift!! Great Review! You people have changed the way of reviewing motorbikes in india and have taken up to a new level!! Keep up the good work. I request you people to Give a Complete review on Avenger 150 Street alone..i see in the comments section many have requested too..Please guys i have been waiting for a long time for this bike review. and Varun! bro you are the best!!! Avenger 150 review bhai
is this bike good for off road biking as well... how about its performance in city riding and long touring...
Off-roading on a cruiser sounds a little too ambitious we think. Since this was a first ride of sorts, we couldn't really test it extensively. Waiting to get our hands on it for a full review :)
Damn! That beard makes Akshay looks more badass than ever!
+Parth Mahajan Err! Error 404 - Akshay not found!
nice video! can we expect some harley reviews too? like the iron 883 or the 48. and what abt the h2 review? :)
+Sanket rajbhoj Yes yes! We do have plans not just the bikes yet!
Will the Cruise 220 suit a 5'11 person?
rohit r avenger suits everyone but you are tall you will feel disturb becoz of your leg .
Hey Varun, Based on your memory, whether avenger 220 cruise is comfortable for a 184cms tall and 110kg weighing person like me? Thank you in advance!
Varun... ur moving up the curve buddy.. more polished.. better use of words.. and of course as always the rockstar attitude u carry.. way to go :)
+Vineet karumat Thank you! These words are sincerely appreciated by our fellow Comrade. :)
Protector head lamps in all the bikes and led turn indicators in 150&220 would have done the trick!
+Shashwat Tripathi +1 to that!
so by you which will be good to buy between street 220 and cruise 220 , please tell , I think of buying a Avenger , so I need reviews
review was nice and quick and to the point what else do we want for an affordable bike
+pushkar singh Bingo!
how is the gear shift? soft? or hard?
Team,
Still waiting for a full in dept reviews on the avengers.
When can we have that???
Bought the Avenger 150 street this diwali. It feels real nice to drive around in the city, as well as on the highway in the little that I have spent with it till now. The best part for me apart from the comfortable riding experience, is the look of this bike, it's turning out to be a head turner, which I didn't expect at all. Wonderful video +PowerDrift , although I wish it was a bit more detailed & longer :)
Hey +Anurag Bhattacharya, congratulations on getting the all new Avenger! Do keep us posted with your experience with the bike :)
Well, as we mentioned in the video this was shot with not a lot of time in hand. This is just the first ride report and a comprehensive review shall follow soon.
+Saketh Raman Well, I mostly use it for city commutes & occasional weekend highway rides, I'm not much of a high speed rider, so I find riding at 60-70 to be my comfort zone & the bike is real smooth at those speeds. But, I recently got the second service done & now it just milks into the 80's easily. 95 is the max that I have pushed the bike till date but that was before the second service & I could feel the vibrations creep in.
Yes, there is an under-seat cabinet for with the tool-kit on the right side, but it's pretty compact & you can hardly fit anything else other than the basic tools that come with the bike.
As for the illuminated switchgear, sorry you don't get those.
Thank u so much bro :) Really appreciate your response. Cheers! :)
You guys simply rocking...but where is rohan...
+sivabharathi m Here - bit.ly/ZicaFirstDrive
How is the street 220 for the highways to cover more than 500kms?
Kader Mohideen so good you will feel no pain if your height less than 6 feet go for it , I'm owner of RE Himalayan and I really want to buy avenger but I'm 6 feet 3 linches and getting leg disturb in avenger
Avenger is such great bike and before buying you take test ride .
In your review you talk about comfort of cruise which is good as expected as being a cruise bike what about street comfort for long route i know it meant for highway but still how comfortable it is how you rate both bike for comfort level on long route and city as well..
+kush ludhwani The Street on the highway with that optional windscreen will be a good option but those low handlebars will tire you out. On the other hand the Cruise in the city will be a tad bit difficult to ride because of the handlebars and the long wheelbase!
good job, guys! i actually liked the talking while wearing helmet thing!!
Thank you Ravi. Hope you have subscribed to our channel :)
I am a first time bike rider, never drove a gear bike. Please suggest me if this bike is apt for me or any other models that are convenient for city ride purpose.
I think PD should introduce a bench mark test for videos/bikes eg 0-60. During a same lap etc. And definitely missing sagar in this video
+WhatsInDName We do it for the machines that really need that number! ;)
+PowerDrift agreed but can have segment wise comparison. But i m sure you guys will come up with something innovative 😀
Hey guys, I was waiting for this video from long time. I was expecting Sagar!! to review but thumbs up u guys are good.. I hope Sagar will review on street 220..
+kudupudi raghunadh Sagar is working on something special. Stay tuned! :D
Appreciate the feedback :)
thanks for the awesome review #powerdrift . I recently purchased the 2017 Avenger 220 desert Gold, and boy it's an awesome bike both in city and highway. The comfort the bike provides is unreal. keep it up
Thank you comrade, and congratulations on your new bike. Ride safe, and we wish you happy motoring. :)
Waiting for full review as I am concerned about cornering and ground clearance with street 220. However gixxer review has made me blind for other bikes........(Y) much appreciated !!!!
+suman chandra Lol! :P
As called out I really wish to see a bigger engine (400CC to start with), fatter tank, tubeless tyres, ABS, projector headlamp, LED tail lights, rear disc... that would be an awesome machine and Bajaj could give HD 750 a run for its money
+Karan Negi True that plus with that Bajaj badging, the cost wouldn't be too steep either.
I am a tall person of height 6ft 2". So will I be comfortable on the avenger 150 street and will I face any backache problems? Cuz presently I ride an activa and I have very frequent backache and this is the sole reason I am planning to shift to a bike.
Great initial impressions! Just a thought but the testers should relax a bit. They seem to be putting too much effort in narration. I really want to see Sagar on such commuter bikes! Would be so much fun!!! ;)
+Sameer Kulkarni Thank you Sameer. Being in the company of the Avengers and not being relaxed. Naah, that ain't happening! :P
Thanks for the feedback Sameer. :)
I am confused between Pulsar 220 and Cruise 220 so which be the better choice
Is anyone hoping for a Comprehensive Review for this from Powerdrift😍?
Which one is best on performance and mileage - avenger 150, avenger 220 street , avenger 220 cruise or the thunderbird 350
+sushantkec We haven't tested the Thunderbird yet & the 150 Avenger seems to be a peppy engine but since it is low on capacity, do not expect greater top speeds! The fuel efficiency aspect shall be covered in our full review!
Confused which one to go for? Avenger 150Street or 220Cruise can anybody plzz suggest???
Akshay Rane 150 easy to ride in city but 220 cruise is not
cruise is fun in highway
if you want to daily ride in city go for street 150 or 220.
but there is a condition want mileage go for 150 or want more power than 150 go for 220.
Guys m confused between Buying avenger street 150 and Pulsar 150 . Can u tell me which one should i go for and y?
And BTW how is the performance of street 150?
+Karthik Vernekar What will you use it for comrade? The Avenger 150 uses the same 150cc DTS-i engine that is used in the 150cc Pulsar but tuned in for more initial torque.
+PowerDrift For a normal city rides and sometimes for a long ride
+Karthik Vernekar I have the same confusion as well
Top speed of both bikes and the maintenance cost?? Thank you
When is the video on riding gears coming? Waiting since a long time... +Powerdrift
+Shantanu Tuljapure And would have to wait a little bit longer. ;)
If Bajaj are promoting the Avenger as cruiser bikes they should have included projector headlights and bigger fuel tanks.
+shreerang kaslikar Also Panniers for brownie points!
hey guys plyz help me out too confused between average cruise n street which 1 to buy ...!!
+Enosh Joy We suggest you tap that Replay button one more time :D
Got the 220 Street yesterday. Apart from a fuck-all ghost rider inspired seat design, everything seems great. Strangers have complimented it's looks tbh
city mileage ?
+Jasmeet .S. Khurana Seems decent. I filled 8 litres and the bike's done above 250 kms, just put it on reserve
+Arnab Paul it does! It is meant to be a looker!
is this has ABS?
Is Avenger is better for 1000+ km ride than CL350?? Please suggest the best touring bike(with pillion comfort) under 1.5L..
Red colour is available from which version 150 or 220
Missing Sagar for this review! :P :D Good and Usefull Video!
+Nishant' Rai Sigh! Sagar is busy with his monster mission :)
really looking #forward to a detail review of street 220...looking forward to buy it...but only after your detail review...trust you guyz
+nidhin nair We shall cover it ASAP!
a full review of renegade commando would be very helpful.Do make if possible.thnk u.
+Mazhar Imam Yes, meanwhile here are our first impressions from Auto Expo - ua-cam.com/video/lSB4cd5w2Gg/v-deo.html
this is a very good quality review with very good editing skills, bravo
Thank you so much. We hope that you've subscribed to our channel :)
With Bajaj launching 150, will we see Yamaha reintroduce the Enticer ? Albeit, with a 5th gear
+Tejus Vyas Feisty competition awaits! ;)
Looking forward to a video review of Mahindra Mojo from Power drift. Or is it already done? By the way, nice review of the avengers.
+ranju1729 We haven't covered the Mojo yet but we do have plans!
+powerdrift following #NoShaveNovember......felt this bike more as a city commuter.....not for heighted guys i feel
+Ankit Mistry The Cruise might suit tall guys but not the tallest of them. #NoShaveNovemberFTW
every bajaj avenger come with the incomplete dream of Royal enfield ThunderBird :p . nice review PD Army keep it up guyz...
Hey thanks for the appreciation Sandeep :)
If you just leave out that cult status that the bullet has... if practicality is what you're looking for then these Avengers are awesome bikes.
they can hold good highway speeds, comfortable, are pretty frugal and they just don't give up on you. My brother and his friends took bullet and Avemger to Laddakh from Delhi and back... Avenger was the bike that surprised everyone with the way it performed throughout the journey and everyone fell in love with it... mind you all were bullet lovers.
Bhai I am also sharing after practical, i already ride avenger but I am facing too much chain socket problem after 35km chain gonna loose. I respect every bike but truth is truth.
Your chain becomes loose just after 35 kms....??? What.. Bro get sprockets checked coz there's a serious problem as none of my freinds have faced any such problem with their avengers.
+Rahul Nair don't know bro but I facing the problem that's why I sell it &. Purchase TBTS. I don't have good ownership with bajaj Avenger.
another good vid
no offense but i always see avengers as poor man's harley..but that is just me
i have rode this bike, and boy the vibs north of 70 kph can make you worry to take it on longer rides. hope this is sorted in this version:)
+dhwanan gadani The vibes are still present but the touring experience will be enhanced with that optional windscreen, smoother throttle and lighter clutch!
I always have a thing to cruise bikes but this just justice to "feel like GOD"
i knw they want to address the masses so bike is missing on a bigger engine but the riding position looks really awkward ur knee is way closer to ur hand and they have upped the foam to make sitting taller.
i hope they make a better one latter coz its certainly got the zing
and boys on #noshavenovember like it.. cheers guys
those gloves are awesome
#pdarmy #powerdrift +powerdrift
+Punith Bharadwaj We can certainly hope so!
Any idea when the AHO and tubeless tries is coming for avenger street 220?
Both have a happy no shaving month guys..... Avengery.......
+Girish Mg Movember FTW!
The Street 220 version definitely looks promising. For a split second, you can mistake it with the Street 750 (Harley)
+Rakesh Anchan Exactly! It looks very similar to the Street 750!
well it still lacks the feel that the old avenger advertisement gave years back !! #feel_like_god ;)
+Alexander George Still has the tagline though!
hi power drift.. your reviews are awsm and best in lot.. requesting you to please review street 220.. we are looking for a full road test review. thanks
+Abir Mazumder We shall try getting one done definitely!
age nikal rahe hai hum sabse hai age har kadam and as said Bajaj dose the job well every time for every Indian styling pricing comfort stable ride home to where you go so called home . And as said none can explain you more about automobiles Powerdrift PD army .
Thank you B-);-)

If I have to select only between the Avenger 220 cruise and avenger 220 street then which one would you suggest? My daily commute is about 40 kms and weekend trips to pune/bangalore/coimbatore. Also, sometimes travel to the hills so want something which can handle the mountain terrain easily. I like the street and the cruise but as per bajaj, they say cruise is more for the traveller types. My height is about 5.10 and im on the heavier side. So which one would you suggest as my weekend trips are a must.
+navin peters We'd suggest the Cruise for a more relaxed riding position. The street as the name suggests is more for daily city commute.
+PowerDrift Thanks for your reply. Just one query I had was that in between avenger street 220, avenger cruise and the thunderbird 350 which should one go for? My daily commute is about 40 kms and occasional weekend trips to pune and bangalore. My height is about 5.10 and im on the heavier side. Can you pleasesuggest which bike should I go for? I heard Thunderbird has lot of oil leakage and tyre noise issues and also has frequent breakdowns, is that true? I dont want to spend too much on servicing and repairs. But, since im on the heavy side Im looking at thunderbird. Please let me know your thoughts. Thanks
Apt background song : Narcissistic Cannibal !
Wrong
Hope u guys will soon test the street 220
+arshak nihal We certainly hope so!
powerdrift we expect a more reveiw about street 220 ...............can u please make them ?? we beleive in powerdrift reveiws than others ....so please try 220 street ......... :)
+Abishek Konduru We have it on our cards! Waiting for the media fleet to arrive :)
PowerDrift tq powerdrift .....waiting for it .....hope to get it soon ....thanks a lot powerdrift :) .,....
will you guys put a full review about this bike ? please?? :)
+Sanjeet Gaonkar Waiting to get our hands on the media fleet!
+PowerDrift oki :)
+PowerDrift btw is this true? that bikes and cars have less shelf life in areas like mumbai or goa(coastal areas) than pune because of rusting?
Hey guys, always loved your videos. Keep up the good work.
I am a college student and have a daily commute of 20kms, 600kms monthly. I am not a sedate rider and like to hear the exhaust note many times. according to what I've heard from 220 users, it's very poor on mileage and some people are getting somewhere from 28-40(very rare). And when considering this, my fuel expenses will be very high.
Which one should I go for? 220 or the 150? Will the 150 feel underpowered after a while or should I go for the mighty fuel guzzler 220?
+Issac Abraham Although the 150cc is low on power figures, it is a better bike than the 220cc Avengers. Refined, smooth & peppy. Also, it will give our greater fuel efficiency!
Lol the cruise has been cruised than the street :D but with your review any bike looks so exiting to watch and that bike gets so fame ;) cheers for your awesome review. have a great weekend and drive safe. :)
+prudhvi sriramula Thank you Prudhvi :)
look wise I liked 150 planning for its testdrive
hows the gear system. Is that similar to platina or discover 100 cc.
1 down, 4 up is what both the bikes get.
Hi I want to buy a 150 cc bike and I am confuse in avenger 150 & Suzuki gixxer 150 plz suggest which one is better
+Maan Khan And may we ask, what will you use it for?
what about the 220 Street I am about to get a bike but I am waiting for a review from you guys
I've heard the 150 runs out of breath nearing the 100kmph mark, does this really affect highway riding?
+Nishant Nair The 150 is best suited for the city. Smaller wheelbase, shorter handlebar does the trick!
+PowerDrift thanks :)
+PowerDrift also, does the 220street have the same dynamics as the 150?
I am confused between gixxer SF and avenger Street 220. could you please tell me which one is better?
+Nipun Narula Two different genres there comrade!
Good review varun & akash cheers...:)
+Dinesh kumar Thank you Dinesh. That means a lot :D
which acc to u is more comfort for touring
for a person of height 5'6
Bhai how many mileage
I think he had a marathon run before giving this review :P
+nihal deshpande With the time we had for this ride, Marathon seems like an unlikely word.
is the avenger 220 cruise worth the upgrade from original avenger? ?
+Mukul shah If relaxed touring & chrome is what you love, go for it!
Ali bhai 😁, these looks like baby Harleys, I guess sagar wasnt interested in doing this as he prefers living with the sports beasts rather than the cruiser ones 😇
+pradeep kumar They do and pretty good on the road too! Well, Sagar is busy working on a monster project! Stay tuned :)
He was
I took dibs on this one :P
Hell yeah :-) ,fingers crossed for the h2r :-)
:)
is that street 150 is good for a ride in the higher mountain road like shimla to laddakh ride- a tour in the ladakh from chandigarrh to ladakh throu kargil ------------- i am asking this cause some saying that its the same engine as pulser 150 but less powerfull - ?
as an owner, NO! still lacks in power, slippery on wet surfaces, Rear Brakes not good. with a pillion, climbing a mountain seems like pushing the engine through its limit.
Thanks for this review.....desperately waiting a review on avenger 220 street from the PD army....U rock PD army...
hello. I need to know 1 and only one thing... is the 150 street suitable for highway rides stretching to 100-150 km 1nce or twice a month, or we have to go for the 220.
am a daily commuter of 25 km a side currently.
Yatendra Mohan Goyal the 150 is not suitable on an avenger because it has wider tires and it won't touch 80 km easily on highway. 220 street is better for daily commuting.
looks ossam but seats are to low for a 6 feet long guy...
Hope I could have it as a higher seat bike
+piyush sharma Yeah! Varun himself is 6'2" & it does a little awkward.
nice review by bade miya and chote miya but i notice that #powerdrift #akashD. look like baba ramdev 😆😆
Hahahaha! He is adding weight to his peanut body :P
+Varun Painter hahaha :p
:P
😹😹😹
no shave november eh chote miya!!!
+Dev Agnani Bade Miya too :D
which one is the best street 220 or cruise 220...
+Sujeet Parui What will you be using it for comrade?
#Powerdrift, kindly suggest for my next upgrade.. A bike which can easily cruise on highway around 100-110kmh with decent tank range & low on maintenance. Confused between NS200 & 220Cruise.. NS200 is my personal choice & hv 6th gear too.. bt Avenger is a cruiser from the same brand..
+DEVI PRASAD DASH the Avenger Cruise should be more comfortable on the highway.
PowerDrift what about the high speed stability?
+PowerDrift #PDArmy
still waiting for the extensive Review....
Please bring it as soon as you can, or rather bring on the BSIV compliant versions as they arrive in the near future.
ALI BHAAAAAAAAAYE! Sick undercut.
+TheyCallMeAamir Hahahahaha! :D
