The Brixton Crossfire series is one of the most exciting motorcycle lineups in the mid-capacity scrambler category. Designed by Brixton Motorcycles (KSR Group, Austria), the Crossfire bikes combine retro-inspired styling with modern-day technology, giving riders the best of both worlds. With three variants – Crossfire 500, Crossfire 500X, and Crossfire 500XC – this series offers options for city riders, scrambler enthusiasts, and adventure seekers.
Iconic Design with the “X” Factor
What sets the Crossfire series apart is its signature X-shaped fuel tank design – a bold styling element that makes the bikes instantly recognizable. Add to that the round LED headlamp, spoked wheels (in XC), premium paint finishes, and minimalist scrambler lines, and you get motorcycles that are both timeless and modern.
Engine and Performance
At the heart of the Crossfire 500 series is a 486cc liquid-cooled, parallel-twin engine that produces 47 hp and 43 Nm of torque. The engine has been tuned for smooth power delivery, making it perfect for city commutes, highway cruising, and light off-road adventures.
Key highlights:
- 486cc parallel-twin engine
- 47 hp / 43 Nm torque
- 6-speed gearbox
- Top speed ~160–170 km/h
This makes the Crossfire series an ideal choice for riders upgrading from 300–400cc bikes.
Suspension and Braking
The Crossfire series comes equipped with KYB suspension and Nissin braking systems, ensuring a balance of comfort and control. The XC model gets long-travel suspension, 19-inch front wheel, and dual-sport tires, making it suitable for adventure touring.
- KYB USD forks (adjustable on XC)
- Twin rear shocks / monoshock (depending on variant)
