Pros and Cons in comparison
Pros and Cons in comparison
Brixton Crossfire 500XC 2022
The Crossfire 500 XC is also a real statement in the A2 class as a scrambler variant that does not have to hide from the established competition! Its in-line two-cylinder engine, which has matured in the meantime, is still no performance miracle, but it is easily enough to keep the bike happy in any situation. Despite higher suspension travel and chunky tyres, the Brixton Crossfire 500 XC still feels at home on the road, but on tougher terrain, the insufficiently damped shock absorbs the shock quickly. If the front brake needed a little less hand force, there would probably be nothing essential to complain about in this price/performance class.
Benelli Leoncino 500 Trail 2020
A scrambler that can really do it! Benelli makes no false promises with the Leoncino 500 Trail and creates a naked bike with true off-road talent. But it is also pleasant to ride on the road despite the 19-inch front wheel and convinces with its seating position, which is even a little reminiscent of the Scrambler model from Bologna. Only the fact that the Benelli Leoncino 500 Trail can only be started in neutral astonishes us a little. But anyone looking for an attractively priced scrambler in the A2 segment should definitely test ride the Benelli!
