With the Street 160 now discontinued, the 220 Street is set to become the go-to machine for riders balancing daily city commutes with weekend freedom.
What’s New in the 2026 Update?
Bajaj has overhauled the ergonomics and aesthetics to make this bike feel more aggressive and agile. Here is a quick breakdown of the major changes:

Performance and Specs
Powered by the reliable 220cc DTS-i engine, it produces 19 bhp and 17.55 Nm of torque. With a 13-litre fuel tank and an ARAI-claimed mileage of 40 kmpl, it remains one of the most efficient cruisers in its class.
