Brixton Motorcycles has confirmed that it will launch the Crossfire 500 Storr in India on October 9. The company revealed the date through a teaser on its social media channels. This will be the Austrian-origin
brand’s fifth model for India after the Crossfire X, Crossfire XC, Cromwell, and Cromwell X.
The Crossfire 500 Storr is an adventure motorcycle positioned directly against established middleweight ADVs. It is powered by a 486cc, liquid-cooled, parallel-twin engine producing 47 hp and 43 Nm of torque, paired with a six-speed manual gearbox.
Key hardware includes a 320 mm front brake disc with a four-piston J.Juan calliper, a 240 mm rear disc with a single-piston calliper, and dual-channel ABS. Suspension is handled by a KYB upside-down front fork and a KYB central rear monoshock. The motorcycle rides on 19-inch front and 17-inch rear wheels wrapped in Pirelli F110/80-19 and R150/60-17 tyres respectively. Fuel tank capacity stands at 16 litres.
