Images floating on the web have confirmed Bajaj Auto’s plans to bring back the Avenger 220 Street. The Avenger Cruise and Street variants were introduced in 2015 and have multiple engine options. However, the Avenger 220 Street was discontinued in 2020, owing to more customer preferences towards the Cruise variant.
