New Bajaj Avenger Street 180 ABS Teased — Launch Expected Soon

An Official teaser for the upcoming launch of the Bajaj Avenger Street 180 ABS motorcycle has been released. The ABS-equipped Avenger Street 180 is expected to go on sale in the market, soon.

The cruiser motorcycle from Bajaj Auto will feature a single-channel ABS system as standard. This update on the motorcycle is due to the upcoming safety norms in the country, which mandates all 125cc and above two-wheelers to be equipped with ABS. The new safety norms will be implemented in the country from the 1st April 2019, suggesting that Bajaj might introduce the new model in the coming weeks.

Apart from the additional single-channel ABS, the Bajaj Avenger 180 will also get a Rear-Lift protection system as standard. Other than these updates, there will be no changes made to the motorcycle.

The Bajaj Avenger Street 180 ABS will continue to be powered by the same 180cc twin-spark air-cooled engine. It produces 15.3bhp and 13.7Nm of peak torque and is mated to a standard five-speed gearbox.

The suspension setup on the Street 180 ABS will continue through telescopic fork at the front and twin shocks at the rear. Braking is handled by a single 260mm disc up front and a 130mm drum setup at the rear.

Apart from the Street 180, most other offerings from Bajaj have already been updated with ABS. Bajaj recently launched the ABS version of the Avenger Street and Cruise 220 models as well. The Pulsar range has also been updated with ABS. The most recent update from Bajaj was the introduction of CBS (Combi-Braking System) on the Discover 110 commuter motorcycle.

Bajaj is also gearing up for the launch of the new 2019 Dominar 400 in the Indian market. The new 2019 Bajaj Dominar 400, comes with a number of updates, styling changes and additional features. Once launched, the Bajaj Dominar 400 is expected to be priced at a slight premium compared to the current model.
