Technical Specifications Brixton Crossfire 500XC 2022 compared to CFMOTO 700CL-X 2022
Pros and Cons in comparison
Pros and Cons in comparison
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.
CFMOTO 700CL-X 2022

As a motorbike from a lesser-known manufacturer, the CFMOTO 700CL-X will probably remain an insider's tip. However, those who dare to take it up will find the CL-X a chic, well-made and agile naked bike with top equipment at a competitive price. The fully adjustable chassis in particular is unique in the class and could make the right niche of demanding riders happy.
