Bajaj Avenger Cruise 220 vs Royal Enfield Classic 350

I chose this bike for the comfort in city as well as long rides. I have driven this bike for more 40K Km and I am happy with this bike. The only concern I have is about the safety as the leg guard is too short compared to the other bike and the as there is a gap from where you rest you feet for shifting gear and braking as it does not cover the feet. The ride is good, it is low maintenance if you take good care of the bike, also long routes are amazing as there is no fatigue. Cons is just about the handling as this a cruiser bike so it is not everyone ride. Definitely this bike is for the people who like comfort low maintanence. If you get a hand on the back seat then the comfort is next level. The mileage is good in the city and if you go for a long ride then you will get a good mileage which can be 40 plus.

The bike is super amazing even after owning it over 6 years it is smooth runs clean and has a muscular and aura refining road presence. Just the performance of the bike on uphill feels a bit low. Maintenance is also reasonable and the bike gives 35-40 kmpl average on daily commute. The seat is super comfortable for long touring and it can be used for 200-300 km long trips.

My dad bought this bike for daily commute because of the design and comfort this bike offers. It is a low height bike, which proves easy to ride and is good for long highway rides. Overall the ride is comfortable for rides. The ride is average in my opinion. I have had problems with the tyres. It is 2025 and in my opinion and this bike still comes with tube tyres. Bajaj should upgrade it to have alloy wheels. The engine seems underpowered for a cruiser, and performance wise it is bad. It has less features than other bikes which is a bit shameful for a bike in this age. The pillion comfort is also compromised but the comfort of the driver is very good. It is a comfortable bike for a solo rider, but the unavailability of tubeless tyres for the bike makes it less reliable for long rides. The service centre here at Chandigarh is very poor, but the overall servicing is cheap, around Rs.1000 to1500 for a normal service. I would recommend this bike to people who are looking for a comfortable ride and not for long distances. At times the tyres can be a problem as when they get punctured you will have to carry it, and carrying a bike this heavy is very tough. Overall if Bajaj would update this bike with some features like traction control, tubeless tyres and a better pillion seat, it can be a great choice.

The Bajaj Avenger 220 Cruise is a comfortable, stylish cruiser built for relaxed long rides and smooth city commutes. Its low-slung seat, wide handlebars, and cushioned ride make it easy on the body, while the 220cc engine delivers a steady, stress-free performance. With decent mileage (35–45 km/l) and a head-turning classic design, it strikes a perfect balance between everyday usability and laid-back touring charm.

I have ridden this bike through rough and challenging terrain, and it has never let me down. The engine is highly reliable, offering smooth performance. It handles well and milage is decent 35 kmpl. the only discomfort is seat that becomes uncomfortable on longer rides. However, this is out waited by the bike's performance and dependability.
