Brixton Motorcycles’ Competitor to the Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 Launching Soon

Brixton Motorcycles plans to launch a new touring bike that will compete directly with the Royal Enfield Himalayan 450. Known for its stylish and high-performance motorcycles, the Brixton’s most recent release has been highly anticipated. Watch out for more details on how it will compare to other set models in the hot tour section.
 

- Brixton Storr 500 to go into production soon

- European launch expected this year

- Powered by a 486cc, parallel-twin motor
 

At EICMA 2022, Brixton Motorcycles unveiled the Storr 500 adventure tourer concept. Originally scheduled for a 2023 release in Europe and other markets, the release date was pushed back due to problems with distributors. But now the Brixton Store 500 is ready for production, with a European launch underway. But there’s a catch.
 

European-Chinese Collaboration Ready for Global Launch

Like many European-Chinese partnerships, Brixton motorcycles are made in Europe and built in China by Gaokin Moto. A Chinese version of the Brixton Store 500 has already been manufactured at the Gaoqin factory and is currently on sale in China. It is expected to be launched in Europe soon.
 

The Storr 500 features a unique design inspired by the Husqvarna Norden 900. Locally, it bears a strong resemblance to the Royal Enfield Himalayan 450, albeit with much more refined bodywork. Notable design features include a large fuel tank and fairing panel that seamlessly connects the tank to the headlights.
 

Under this body, the Brixton Store 500 is supported by tubular steel and a separate sub-frame. It features upside-down front forks and a linked monoshock at the rear for suspension. The bike is equipped with 19/17-inch tubeless wire-spoke wheels, and it is shod with knobby Pirelli Scorpion Rally STR tyres.
 

The Store 500 features a 486cc parallel-twin engine sourced from Honda’s 471cc powertrain. This liquid-cooled engine produces 47bhp at 8,500 rpm and 43 Nm of peak torque at 6,700 rpm, paired with a six-speed transmission.
 

While it is too soon to talk about the Storr 500’s arrival in India, Brixton Motorcycles has unveiled plans to launch four new models in the Indian market in the coming months. While specific models have yet to be announced, the Store 500 will offer interesting rivals to established bikes like the Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 and KTM 390 Adventure.
