Brixton Motorcycles has commenced opening its pre-booking process for the much-awaited motorcycles in India, and the entrance fee is merely Rs 2,999. The brand is likely to attract a broad spectrum of motorcycle enthusiasts well before it gets launched in the country in November 2024. Here is a closer look at how Brixton will make waves in the Indian market and what this could mean for buyers.
Four Models To Ride The Road
Brixton will offer the four motorcycle models to the Indian market- the Crossfire 500X and Crossfire 500XC, Cromwell 1200, and the Cromwell 1200X. Targeting diverse riding styles: be it city cruising or adventurous off-road rides, it is the company’s lineup that promises modern features combined with classic styling. This promises to sell motorcycles in interest both to young thrill seekers and seasoned motorcyclists.
Extending Footprint with a New Production Facility
Brixton has partnered with KAW Veloce Motors Pvt. Ltd. to establish a production facility in Kolhapur, Maharashtra to further manufacture locally and sell bikes in plenty from the new facility to cater to the expected demand. It will initially reach out to 13 cities through centers in Pune, Mumbai, Bangalore, Chennai, Hyderabad, and Ahmedabad for its easy accessibility across key markets.

Crossfire 500-series
The engine of this series is a 500cc twin cylinder, producing 46 bhp at 8,500 rpm and 43 Nm of torque at 4,350 rpm. And while not brimming with the extravagance in design that its supersport cousin, Yamaha FZ1, seems to indulge in, Cromwell models sport the bigger 1,200cc twin-cylinder engine capable of 82 bhp at 6,500 rpm and thumping 108 Nm of torque at 3,100 rpm. Precisely the kind of specifications riders need who intend to tour over miles longer.
Gazing into the Future
With its November launch soon upon us, Brixton Motorcycles is all geared up to bring something new to India’s two-wheeler market. This kind of information would start trickling in on the specifics, features, and the price as well, as the launch date approaches.
