Brixton Crossfire 500 XC: adventurous spirit

Among the new Brixton 2022 , alongside the Crossfire 125 and Cromwell 1200, we also find the Crossfire 500 XC. As its name suggests, the model is technically made on the Crossfire 500 and Crossfire 500X sisters, however, it is characterized by some details and components that highlight its adventure appeal.

The new XC differs from its predecessors in its more off-road appearance. The 19-inch front wheel, for example, has the front fender all raised. Tires are 110/80-19 at the front and 150/60-17 at the rear. The plate is placed under the tail and the headlamp has a protective grille. Furthermore, the Brixton Crossfire 500 XC must be equipped with a state-of-the-art engine.
