Brixton Crossfire 500 Storr Spotted Testing In India

Austrian two-wheeler brand, Brixton Motorcycles, which entered the Indian market last year with four-motorcycles, was recently spotted testing the Crossfire 500 Storr. A mid-range, premium adventure tourer bike which is expected to launch later this year and will compete against the Honda NX500. The Brixton Crossfire 500 Storr is its most recent bike that debuted last year in Milan at EICMA 2024. It has been on sale in China since last year, and launched in Europe later. Brixton was slated to launch the adventure tourer in India earlier this year, until it was postponed. 

Yes, there’s a distinct Norden 901-ish appeal in the bike’s tall-tower design, as a result there’s a nice premium, European vibe going on here. It is powered by the same 486 cc, liquid-cooled parallel-twin mill as on the Brixton Crossfire 500 and 500 XC. And it produces the same 47.6 bhp and 43 Nm in all three bikes. However, in the adventure tourer it is expected to have a slightly different tune.

Built around a tubular steel frame suspended by long travel USD fork and moshock, the Crossfire 500 Storr rides on 19-/17-inch cross-spoke wheels, shod with Pirelli Scorpion Rally STR tyres in the European market. Will it retain the same rubber for the Indian market remains to be seen. 

Lastly, pricing will be a big factor too. Both the Crossfire 500 X and XC cost ₹4.75 lakh and ₹5.20 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi), respectively. Given the Crossfire 500 Storr is a derivative from the same platform, we expect it to be priced at around ₹5.50-6.25 lakh. For reference, the Honda NX500 is priced at ₹5.90 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi).
