Brixton Introduces Cromwell 1200 X in Italy for 2024: A Scrambler Twist on the Budget-Friendly Roadster

Brixton, an Austrian-based motorcycle brand with production facilities in China, is making waves in the European and Asian motorcycle scenes. Known for its budget-friendly bikes that draw heavy inspiration from iconic British models, the company has recently introduced a new variant: the Cromwell 1200 X. Targeted for the 2024 model year, this bike aims to carve out its own identity while maintaining its retro roadster roots.



The Cromwell 1200, Brixton's flagship model, has often been compared to the Triumph Bonneville due to its strikingly similar design. However, the newly introduced Cromwell 1200 X aims to set itself apart. Featuring longer suspension, robust tires, and a more relaxed seating arrangement, this bike is designed for those who want a bit more versatility in their rides.

The Cromwell 1200 X sports a scrambler-style look, emphasizing its capability to handle not just smooth roads but also light off-road conditions. While it doesn't match the off-road prowess of Triumph's Scrambler 1200 range, it does offer a unique blend of style and function. Additional features like a small flyscreen and fork gaiters contribute to its rugged appearance.





The Cromwell 1200 X is powered by a 1,222cc, liquid-cooled, fuel-injected, parallel-twin engine. With 83 horsepower and 108 Newton-meters of torque, the bike promises a strong performance, particularly at lower revs. A six-speed manual transmission channels the power to the rear wheel, while KYB hardware takes care of the suspension. Braking is managed by dual 310-millimeter front brakes and a single 260-millimeter rear disc brake.

The Cromwell 1200 X will initially be available in the Italian market, sporting a single cream color option. The bike is priced at 11,749 Euros, roughly translating to $12,339 USD.



With the introduction of the Cromwell 1204 X, Brixton is clearly aiming to diversify its portfolio and appeal to a broader range of motorcycle enthusiasts. While it may not completely shake off its reputation as a Triumph Bonneville lookalike, the new features and capabilities of the Cromwell 1200 X make it a compelling option for those in search of a versatile, budget-friendly bike.
