India, June 4 -- The Bajaj Avenger Street 220 has returned to the Indian market, with Bajaj Auto quietly launching the motorcycle at an ex-showroom price of Rs.1,30,172. The new model has effectively taken the place of the Avenger Street 160, which has been discontinued, giving buyers access to a larger-capacity cruiser in the brand's urban-focused Avenger lineup. Here are 5 things about the motorcycle you need to know before you put your money down:

Power comes from a 220cc, air-oil-cooled, single-cylinder engine that has previously served in the Pulsar 220F. The motor develops 18.8 bhp at 8,500 rpm and 17.55 Nm of torque at 7,000 rpm. A 5-speed gearbox handles transmission duties.
