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.

Elastic engine

high-quality components (chassis, brakes and tyres)

comfortable seating position

taut, adjustable chassis

very agile handling

adjustable brake and clutch lever

grandiose design with great attention to detail.

Husqvarna Svartpilen 401 2024

With the 2024 update, the Svartpilen 401 has become significantly larger, more mature, heavier and more modern. With a lower seat height and wider dimensions, it has become more attractive for both short and tall pilots. The new TFT display is more attractive to look at and offers practical benefits. Despite the extra weight, the Svartpilen remains an agile fun bike with decent grunt from the single cylinder, a relaxed riding position and adjustable, well-functioning suspension. The only thing that spoils the riding pleasure is the weak, less powerful brakes. If the old Svartpilen was too small or too high, you should give it another chance in 2024.

Fun single-cylinder engine with top quickshifter and low vibrations

Adjustable chassis

More space in the saddle than before

More accessible than before

Beautiful TFT display & lush electronics

Weak brakes with a doughy pressure point

Higher weight than before
