Both bikes have LED daytime running lights, but the Cromwell also features a TFT display, providing a more modern and informative instrument panel.

In terms of weaknesses, the Speed Twin's compact dimensions could be a problem for taller riders, and it may also experience heat development from the engine. On the other hand, the Cromwell's electronics could be improved in terms of operation, and its turn-in behavior may feel somewhat sluggish. The Cromwell also has limited lean angle clearance, and its display may be difficult to read in direct sunlight.

Overall, the Triumph Speed Twin 1200 2022 offers a powerful punch, high-quality workmanship, a sporty chassis, and great looks. The Brixton Cromwell 1200 2022 boasts an astonishingly superior engine, a pleasantly muffled sound, a comfortable seating position, a successful appearance, extensive electronics, renowned components, and a good price-performance ratio.

Triumph Speed Twin 1200 2022

Triumph Speed Twin 1200 2022

The Triumph Speed Twin could be the height of emotion for fans of classic Triumph motorbikes. The engine pushes like a tractor in every situation and spoils you with a wonderful sound. Chassis and brake components are of high quality and the looks are inspiring. Unfortunately, tall riders cannot enjoy the small 1200 quite as easily as riders under 1.85 metres.

Brixton Cromwell 1200 2022

Brixton Cromwell 1200 2022

Brixton aims high with the Cromwell 1200! Exactly 1222 cubic metres of displacement are available in an in-line two-cylinder engine that delivers 82 hp and a tidy 108 Newton metres of torque at just 3100 revs - and behave really well in ECO mode. The components all come from renowned manufacturers, but are of varying quality. The KYB suspension is typically lax, while the Nissin brakes and Bosch electronics are convincing. Visually, the Brixton is only basically oriented towards the class of the big retro bikes, but it takes a refreshingly independent approach to design. The equipment does not need to hide from the competition, but there is still room for improvement when it comes to operation (change of riding mode, cruise control). The seating position again corresponds to the basic idea in this category - comfort counts more than sport. The Brixton Cromwell 1200 is an inexpensive addition to the class!
