Bajaj Avenger 400 : For those who feel the call of the highway not as a commute, but as an experience, the cruiser motorcycle holds a special place. It’s a symbol of freedom, comfort, and a connection to the road that transcends mere transportation. Answering this call with a significant new offering, Bajaj Auto has unveiled the Avenger 400, a motorcycle designed to inject modern performance into its beloved cruiser lineage, creating a new benchmark for the segment.
A Design That Prioritizes Comfort and Character
Moving up within the Avenger line, the 400 model adheres to the cruiser’s fundamental appeal: easy riding. It’s design is a lesson in purposeful design. Extended wheelbase, relaxed foot-forward riding position and signature low-slung silhouette are designed to relax you on long rides. But it’s not just functional; it’s wildly charismatic. The motorcycle features a confidently sculpted fuel tank, classic stepped seat for rider and passenger along with mild chrome accents which tough up the premium appeal without being overt. Out front, a large headlamp unit, likely with modern LED elements, makes sure the Avenger 400 takes its classic look to the night with a hint of contemporary.
Heart of a Tourer: Performance Built for the Real World
The new cruiser has a strong beating heart: a 373cc liquid-cooled single-cylinder engine. The engine has been developed to render a good mix of spirited performance and daily practicality, with an estimated power/torque of 35 PS / 35 Nm. With a slick-shifting six-speed gearbox, it promises alert acceleration from a standstill and calm, assured pacing at highway speeds. And perhaps most impressively for a motorcycle of this size, it is predicted that it will deliver a respectable real-world mileage of 30-35 kmpl. Paired with a capacious 13-litre fuel tank, this means you can ride for almost 400 kilometres between fill-ups — the true definition of long, continuous riding.
Seamlessly Integrated Technology for the Connected Rider
The Avenger 400 is perfectly poised in the middle of tradition and technology to ride today’s rider expectations for both. The cockpit is said to be equipped with a full digital instrument cluster, which would be easy on eyes and come packed with a lot of information. Beyond basic amenities, features such as smartphone connectivity and a conveniently located USB charging port ensure your vital tools for navigation and communication keep the power flowing. This clever execution means that the bikes classic spirit is not diminished but enhanced by the modern day conveniences.
A Foundation of Confidence: Safety and Ride Quality
And it has been rumored that in order to be a true cruiser bike, a bike has to be confident-inspiring and the Avenger 400 is built on these idealistic principles. Notably, dual-channel ABS is expected to be offered as standard or optional for controlled and stable braking on different road conditions including dry tarmac and the odd wet spot. The suspension – telescoping forks in the front and twin shock absorbers at the back – is designed to soak up the bumps. This dedication to supple suspension means that whether you’re coasting down a smooth interstate or bouncing across dirt country lanes, your ride will be comfy and in control.
Making the Dream Accessible: Pricing and Ownership
While Bajaj Auto has not revealed official figures, the Avenger 400 is expected to be priced aggressively with an ex-showroom price of around ₹2.20 lakh. In line with Bajaj’s philosophy of democratic ownership, the motorcycle will likely be available with attractive finance offers. This might help prospective buyers take the first step on the road with a down payment of around ₹22,000 followed by affordable EMI payments, making the dream of owning a powerful, mid-size cruiser closer to reality than ever before.
