Brixton

Brixton debuted its sleek new Crossfire Storr 500 adventure bike concept this week at EICMA. It’s equipped with a “full suite of crash protection” and plenty of features to keep you locked in on the road, like hand guards, a tapered front navigation tower and a first aid kit mounted in the bike’s front fairing. Brixton further outfitted the bike with its own range of waterproof soft luggage as well as side-mounted panniers and a roll-top tail bag that snaps into the bike’s luggage rack. The bike is powered by a 50-horsepower, 486cc parallel-twin engine. According to HiConsumption, there’s a “very real possibility that the Storr may eventually enter production,” so stay tuned for details.
