Why You Should Choose It… Or Think Twice

Pros

Unique Style: It brings retro cool to the modern street.

Build Quality: Premium parts like KYB suspension, J. Juan brakes.

Engine Punch: A lively 47 bhp that feels peppy on both city rides and highways.

Things to Consider

New Brand, Thin Network: Being new, after-sales support or service points may be limited compared to established brands.

“Brixton bikes have been launched in India… I feel the price is quite reasonable.”

Others disagree, noting:

“500X is definitely overpriced. It’s competing with the 650 twins from RE at similar on-road costs.”
