The 2018 Bajaj Avenger Street 220 has been spied ahead of its launch. The motorcycle features subtle styling updates to make it look more modern.
The 2018 Bajaj Avenger Street 220 sports updated graphics. The red stripe is reminiscent of the one found in the Bajaj V15. The headlight nacelle bears a brushed metal finish. There is also a small flyscreen that covers the circular all-digital instrument cluster. The panel on the fuel tank is digital as well. The side box features a slightly different design. The seat and the rear grab rail seem to be the same as the existing bike. The grab rail gets a small wrap behind the pillion seat, though. The tail light is now sleeker and is LED. The indicators are bulb-type, and the rear fender is slightly longer.
