Pros and Cons in comparison
Royal Enfield Continental GT 650 2019
Visually, the new Royal Enfield Continental GT 650 is closely related to its single-cylinder sister Continental GT 535, but technically it takes a huge step forward. The parallel twin-cylinder engine with 48 hp and 53 Newton metres of torque is lively and refined, the handling is surprisingly stable and the brakes are also convincing. Electronic features are in vain, but the wonderful cafe racer look remains absolutely authentic. The price is also set so low in Europe that Royal Enfield should no longer be considered a quirky exotic.
Brixton Cromwell 1200 2022
Brixton aims high with the Cromwell 1200! Exactly 1222 cubic metres of displacement are available in an in-line two-cylinder engine that delivers 82 hp and a tidy 108 Newton metres of torque at just 3100 revs - and behave really well in ECO mode. The components all come from renowned manufacturers, but are of varying quality. The KYB suspension is typically lax, while the Nissin brakes and Bosch electronics are convincing. Visually, the Brixton is only basically oriented towards the class of the big retro bikes, but it takes a refreshingly independent approach to design. The equipment does not need to hide from the competition, but there is still room for improvement when it comes to operation (change of riding mode, cruise control). The seating position again corresponds to the basic idea in this category - comfort counts more than sport. The Brixton Cromwell 1200 is an inexpensive addition to the class!
