Rumour: Bajaj Avenger Street 180 to be launched soon

According to a recent media report, Bajaj could launch the Avenger Street 180 in the coming weeks. Rumours suggest that the Avenger Street 180 will be priced at Rs. 83,987 (ex-showroom, Bangalore).

Currently, Bajaj offers 3 variants of the Avenger - Cruise 220, Street 220 and Street 150. The new variant will be positioned below the Street 220 and is rumoured to replace the Street 150. It is also reported that Bajaj may not offer a Cruise 180 version. Styling is likely to be similar to the Street 150 with the engine, crankcase and alloy wheels painted black. Also, it might get analogue dials instead of a digital instrument cluster.

The Avenger Street 180 is expected to be powered by the same 178.6 cc, single-cylinder, air-cooled engine that is offered on the Pulsar 180. It produces 16.79 BHP @ 8,500 rpm and 14.22 Nm of torque @ 6,500 rpm. The engine will be paired with a 5-speed gearbox. The Avenger Street 180 will be offered with a disc brake in the front and a drum setup in the rear. However, it might miss out on ABS.

The Bajaj Avenger Street 180 will compete with the Suzuki Intruder 150 in the Indian market.
