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.

Front brake requires a lot of hand force

suspension strut poorly damped

cheap-looking fittings

Harley-Davidson LiveWire ELW 2021

The Livewire is a bold first step from Harley-Davidson. It rides cool and casual, but overall a little uncomfortable on longer tours. The sluggish turn-in behaviour is forgiven if you don't expect a classic naked bike. It is more likely to pass for a naked cafe racer. But only if the café is not too far away.

Fierce acceleration

super-tuned drive

high-quality traction control and sporty ABS

high-quality brakes and good chassis

low-maintenance overall concept.

Maximum charging power should be increased to further reduce charging time

in practice, unsuitable splash guard on rear wheel

fast charging stations in the Alps are still scarce

high weight causes understeer
