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

Yamaha MT-03 2018

Yamaha MT-03 2018

The MT-03 remains Yamaha's most accessible and pragmatic Hyper Naked in the segment. It scores with its low seat height, the easily controllable power of the two-cylinder and at the same time offers enough comfort for commuters. What it may lack in sportiness, it makes up for in comfort, making it perfect for people looking for a well-functioning motorbike with a brutal look. However, you shouldn't be too big, and you shouldn't aspire to keep up with the other models in the MT range at the angle - because that's not what it was designed for. The 2020 model year is thus a coherent update that is sure to make its buyers happy.

Well controllable power

Low seat height

Easy to ride

Low consumption

Easy to read LC display

Aggressive look

Sharp knee angle for tall people

Soft chassis compared to other Yamaha MT models

Not the most emotional motorbike
