Sometimes something completely different
Otherwise, the Brixton is a pleasant companion thanks to its manoeuvrability without any special ups or downs. That raises a question – who should buy this, for whom is the Brixton Crossfire 500 suitable? Sure: For individualists who can warm up for a Royal Enfield, for example, but don't want a retro bike. Those who are looking for these pleasant companions and if they want to go on holiday alone.
The possible strongest group of buyers will take advantage of Brixton's biggest advantage: not everyone has it. And this exclusivity does not have to be paid expensively in euros or with possible defects.
The test bike was provided to us by the 2 Radhaus Stadie in Pinneberg near Hamburg.
