Rider Profile

Best ForNote: specifications provided are for the Brixton Storr 500, a prototype/concept, not the named Crossfire 500 XC, so this profile is an approximation; it suits riders from newer intermediates to experienced adventure-touring enthusiasts.
PurposeDesigned as an adventure-touring machine geared toward mixed on-road and light off-road exploration with luggage-carrying capability.
Rider FitA mid-capacity twin with a wire-spoked wheel and long-travel suspension setup suggests a manageable but tall-ish upright riding stance suited to average to taller riders.
CharacterA characterful liquid-cooled twin with modest but usable power delivery, favoring relaxed torque over outright speed.
Not Ideal ForNot ideal for riders chasing top-tier sportbike performance or track-day lap times, given its modest power output and adventure-oriented chassis.

Calculated in your browser only - your height/inseam are never sent to our servers.

Feet:

At 839mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with balls of both feet on the 2023 Brixton Crossfire 500 XC, with a relaxed knee angle of around 130 degrees and a forward-leaning riding position.

Data quality: estimated (wheelbase estimated from this category's typical bike, not this model's own spec). Assumes about 30mm of suspension sag once seated (a typical street-bike rule of thumb - stiffer or softer suspension will vary). This is an approximation from category-typical geometry and generic body proportions, not a measurement of this specific bike or you - sit on it before you buy.
