Brixton Crossfire 500X & Crossfire 500XC
The Brixton Crossfire 500X is a rugged and muscular cafe racer. It has a round LED headlight, a boxy and sharp fuel tank, a single-piece seat that extends on top of the tank, 17-inch spoke wheels and an upswept exhaust. The Crossfire 500XC, on the other hand, is a true scrambler and is more off-road focused than the 500X. It shares many parts including the chassis, headlight, fuel tank, and seat with its sibling, but looks a lot more off-road ready with a headlight grille, a small flyscreen, an off-road front fender and block pattern tyres. . Both bikes have a negatively-lit LCD console and all-LED lights.
The Crossfire 500X and Crossfire 500XC share the same 486cc, liquid-cooled, twin-cylinder engine that produces 47.85PS at 8500rpm and 43Nm at 6750rpm, paired with a 6-speed gearbox.
