Brixton Motorcycles has finally set its foot in India with as many as four models. The Chinese-owned British brand was eyeing the Indian market for a long time. Part of the MotoHaus group, headlined by the KAW Veloce Motors along with the VLF brand, these motorcycles will be manufactured at KAW’s facility in Kolhapur, Maharashtra.
The company had filed trademark applications for four motorcycles including Crossfire 500X, Crossfire 500 XC, Cromwell 1200 and Cromwell 1200X earlier this year.. Bookings for the same commenced earlier last month at a token amount of Rs 2,999 with deliveries slated to commence December 2024 onwards. MotoHaus intends to deliver around 10,000 units in the first year.

The Brixton lineup starts with the Crossfire range– Crossfire X and Crossfire XC– priced at Rs 4.75 lakh and Rs 5.20 lakh (both ex-showroom). While the former is a roadster, the latter is a scrambler. As expected, the 500 X is more suited for an urban environment, whereas the 500 XC is a more rugged and off-road focused machine.

That said, there are some hardware differences that distinguish the Crossfire range. The 500 X runs on 17-inch wire-spoke front and rear wheels wrapped with tubeless rubber while the 500 XC rolls on dual-purpose tyres fitted on 19/17-inch wire-spoke wheels. The saddle height on the 500 X is more accessible at 795 mm as opposed to 839mm seat height in the 500 XC.
