Brixton is preparing to introduce the Storr 500 in the first of 2025 to expand its market presence in India. This comes after the brand introduced the Cromwell 1200, the Cromwell 1200 X, the Crossfire 500 X, and the Crossfire 500 XC here earlier this month. There is no official confirmation, but it is believed that the Storr 500 will first go on sale in Europe, followed by other international markets. This step will allow Brixton to focus on maximising the motorcycle's appeal in its core market before rolling it out elsewhere. For the uninitiated, the Austrian brand recently unveiled the production-ready Storr 500 at the most recent edition of EICMA.

Upon its launch, the Brixton Storr 500 is expected to be priced at approximately Rs 5.50 lakh. It will directly compete with the Benelli TRK 502, and serve as an alternative to the Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 and the forthcoming KTM 390 Adventure R.
Brixton Storr 500: Major Highlights
The Storr 500's striking design is highlighted by its large fuel tank, which adds to its rugged appearance. The large fairing that connects the fuel tank to the headlamp not only adds to the Storr 500's visually striking appearance but also plays a crucial role in enhancing its aerodynamic efficiency and providing superior wind protection. On the mechanical front, the Brixton machine has a 486cc, parallel-twin, liquid-cooled engine that delivers a maximum power of 47bhp at 8,500rpm and a peak torque of 43Nm at 6,700rpm and is mated to a six-speed gearbox. It features a tubular steel frame, supported by upside-down front forks and a rear monoshock with a linkage. For enhanced off-road capability, the Storr 500 gets 19/17-inch tubeless spoke wheels, shod with knobby Pirelli Scorpion Rally STR tyres.
Other Brixton Models in India
The four Brixton motorcycles currently available in India are the Cromwell 1200, Cromwell 1200 X, Crossfire 500 X, and Crossfire 500 XC, priced at Rs 7.83 lakh, Rs 9.10 lakh, Rs 4.75 lakh, and Rs 5.19 lakh, respectively (ex-showroom).
