Brixton Motorcycles shall launch the Storr 500 in India in early 2025. A style cruiser with a 486 cc single-cylinder engine, power and efficiency seamlessly complement performance in this motorcycle. This bike will be ensuring both the demands of cities and long-distance cruising.
This retro-design motorcycle will have all the modern features, like LED lighting, a digital instrument cluster, advanced safety systems, etc. The Storr 500 should attract most motorcycle enthusiasts in India who crave that classic look paired with modern performance.
Quick Highlights:
Brixton Motorcycles has introduced four new neo-retro models in India, ranging from 500cc to 1200cc. One model noticeably missing was the Brixton Storr 500 adventure tourer. Sources indicate that the Storr 500 will come to India "very soon".
Brixton is expected to launch the Storr 500 in India by the first half of 2025. This might be because the bike has yet to be released in Europe, its prime market. Brixton recently showcased the production-ready version of the Storr 500 at EICMA 2024.
An attractive model, the Storr 500 draws design inspiration from models such as the Husqvarna Norden 900 and Royal Enfield Himalayan 450. Design highlights include a large fuel tank and a distinctive fairing that combines the tank into the light assembly.
The Storr 500 is powered by a 486cc, liquid-cooled parallel-twin engine, producing 47bhp at 8,500rpm and 43Nm of peak torque at 6,700rpm. It is mated to a six-speed gearbox. This motorcycle boasts a tubular steel frame supported by upside-down front forks and a linked rear monoshock. It rides on 19-inch front and 17-inch rear tubeless spoke wheels with knobby Pirelli Scorpion Rally STR tyres.
Moreover, the Brixton Crossfire 500XC engine is impressive and provides image power with its smoothness, punchy performance, and strong tractability. Based on that, the Storr 500 could prove an excellent middleweight adventure tourer. It will mainly compete with the Benelli TRK 502. Still, it is also an interesting alternative to the Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 and, of course, the soon-to-be-released KTM 390 Adventure R. Its price may be around Rs. 5.50 lakh ex-showroom.
