Brixton Crossfire 500X: Top 5 Highlights
Brixton is a retro-inspired sub-brand of Austrian motorcycle brand KCS.
Twin-cylinder 500cc engine complies with Europe’s A2 licence guidelines.
The 500X is the more off-road friendly iteration of the cafe racer-esque Crossfire 500.
You may not have heard of Brixton Motorcycles, but we won’t hold that against you. Started in 2015, this retro-inspired subsidiary of Austrian bikemaker KCS had so far been focussing on single-cylinder machines, sold mostly in China and the European markets.

Heck, it is also the current winner of the prestigious Indian Motorcycle of the Year award!
