With this, Bajaj may be hoping to acquire a center ground, wherein the vintage Avenger one hundred fifty`s income numbers and recognition will move hand-in-hand with the overall performance the Avenger a hundred and eighty needed to offer. While we`ll must be patient the way it sells, having spent a pair days with it, we will inform you the way it performs. 
 
The new Avenger sports activities a `new` a hundred and sixty.four cc, single-cylinder engine. This engine borrows the lowest quit from the NS160; it even has the identical bore and stroke figures. However, it makes use of a one of a kind cylinder head — it now makes use of a 2-valve set-up, in contrast to the four-valve unit at the NS160, and additionally misses out at the oil cooler. While a right away change with the NS160`s engine could were possible, it could`ve ended in substantially better costs. Bajaj says the brand new engine has been designed to supply its predecessor`s stage of overall performance, and the R&D group appears to are becoming that right, due to the fact this engine makes 15hp and 13.5Nm, which could be very near the Avenger a hundred and eighty`s 15.5hp and 13.7Nm. 
 
This engine isn`t as subtle as, say, a Honda`s, however the mellow rumble does deliver the little Avenger its personal character. The Avenger isn`t a cruiser withinside the genuine experience of the word, and it won`t be the correct associate if you`re seeking to crunch up endless miles at the highway. What it's going to do is get you to 80kph with out an excessive amount of of a hassle, and that`s wherein the a hundred and sixty is maximum snug cruising at. But move any better and you could sense vibrations on the foot-pegs. At those speeds I determined myself searching on the rear-view replicate, awaiting to look a decal saying `Objects withinside the replicate aren't as distorted as they appear` due to the fact the replicate receives very buzzy at better rpms. 
 
Barring the little a hundred and sixty in area of the a hundred and eighty at the facet panel, an ABS ring and velocity sensor and an ABS mild at the speedo, there`s not anything that differentiates the a hundred and sixty from the bike it replaces. This way the Avenger is still the easy-going bike it was. The minimum use of chrome, the elongated tank, and stepped seat are layout factors that the a hundred and sixty stocks with the older motorcycles in its lineage. Also carried over from the a hundred and eighty is the minimalist analogue device cluster, with best a speedometer and virtual odometer. A tank-installed analogue gasoline gauge, sits along tell-story lighting fixtures for neutral, signs and excessive beam.
