Mforce Bike Holdings Sdn Bhd, the official distributor of the Brixton brand in Malaysia, has introduced a formidable contender to the market with the launch of the Brixton Cromwell 1200. 

  • powering the Cromwell 1200 is a twin-cylinder 1222cc water-cooled engine that makes 83hp and 108Nm. 
  • the Cromwell 1200 is a combination between classic design and modern technology.

With its classic vintage design and modern features, the Cromwell 1200 has the potential to dethrone the ever-popular Triumph Bonneville 120 as the motorcycle of choice for enthusiasts in Malaysia. 

Under the theme “Ride The New Old School,” this remarkable model is powered by a 1222cc engine and carries a competitive starting price of RM55,888 for the first 100 customers, rising to RM58,888 thereafter (excluding insurance and road tax). Prospective buyers can find the Cromwell 1200 at authorized Brixton dealerships throughout Malaysia.

The Cromwell 1200 boasts a parallel twin-cylinder, 4-stroke, and 8-valve engine, delivering an impressive maximum power output of 83Hp at 6,550rpm and a maximum torque of 108Nm at 3,100rpm. Weighing 235kg, this motorcycle is equipped with front telescopic suspension and adjustable suspension at the rear, ensuring a comfortable and controlled ride.

Putting safety first, the Brixton Cromwell 1200 features dual ABS, with dual hydraulic type disc brakes on the front and hydraulic single disc brakes on the rear. Additionally, a traction control system is in place to prevent any loss of grip on the wheels.

To cater to individual riding preferences, the Cromwell 1200 offers two distinctive riding modes: Eco and Sport. The Sport mode provides a more responsive and aggressive throttle, adding to the overall exhilaration of the riding experience.

Not just a beauty in design, the Brixton Cromwell 1200 comes equipped with various additional accessories, such as an aluminum skid plate that protects the engine during off-road adventures, and a protective pad for the fuel tank to shield it from potential impacts. The package also includes a 10-liter capacity saddlebag, crafted from high-quality waterproof material and designed to retain its shape even when empty.

Buyers of the Brixton Cromwell 1200 enjoy the assurance of a manufacturer’s warranty for two years or 20,000 km mileage (whichever comes first), and can conveniently access the online genuine parts purchase service provided by MForce Bike Holdings Sdn Bhd.

MForce Bike Holdings Sdn Bhd recently launched the new MForce Smart Shop SH Bikers showroom in Sri Kembangan.

  • Brixton Cromwell 1200 is to be available in Malaysia soon.
  • Features 1200cc two-cylinder engine capable of producing 80hp and 110Nm. 

During the launch, MForce also previewed the all-new Brixton Cromwell 1200 from Brixton Motorcycles.

For those not in the loop, Brixton Motorcycles is a brand owned by Austrian-based KSR Group. However, the manufacturing plant is located in China to ensure the brand remains affordable for the global market.

Nevertheless, the Brixton Cromwell 1200 (codename GK1200) first appeared at the 2021 EICMA show in Milan. 

The Cromwell 1200 is equipped with a 1,222cc parallel-twin SOCH liquid-cooled engine capable of pushing around 83hp @ 6,500rpm and peak torque of 110Nm @ 3,000rpm.

The retro machine adopts the same basic design as the iconic Triumph Bonneville, with a circular headlight, flat seat, spoke wheels and two long chrome exhausts running parallel to the ground.

Mechanically, the Cromwell 1200 features KYB suspension, Nissin brakes, Bosch electronics including ABS, traction control and multiple riding modes. 

It also packs with full LED light setup and a TFT display.

The bike is also fitted with cruise control, making it suitable for a long trip. 

According to MForce, the bike is still in testing stages and is currently undergoing an endurance test to ensure it passes all the requirements before being put on sale in Malaysia.

The Brixton Cromwell 1200 is said to be available for around RM50k once it is officially launched in Malaysia. 

Although the push for electric vehicles is propelled by the world’s plan for a cleaner environment, most of us can’t even afford a decent electric motorcycle.

Energica, Zero Motorcycles are among those who make and sell an electric bike with a hefty price tag to help justify the cost of long-range batteries and high-performance electric motors.

However, there are others who are taking a different route to ensure the accessibility to electric two-wheelers.

KSR-owned Brixton Motorcycles is currently developing a low-cost electric bike, as confirmed by the latest patents.

The new design patents showcased one of the simplest-looking electric scooters we have ever seen.

While we say it looks simple, the design is rather unique. The bike feature a uber-simple frame that carries the battery and electronics positioned at the lowest point of the structure.

The street-legal electric scooter is also fitted with an upside-down fork that handles the damping up front and a single sprung seat.

Like any other Brixton model, the electric scooter will also feature Brixton’s iconic “X” in the centre of the lamp.

Meanwhile, the bike looks to be fitted with a single circular instrument above the front headlamp.

Chinese motorcycle manufacturer is certainly stepping up their game including Brixton Motorcycles.

Last year, the company showcased the Cromwell 1200 at EICMA 2021, which was deemed as a worthy rival against the Triumph Bonneville.

The Cromwell 1200 features 1,200cc parallel-twin SOCH liquid-cooled engine capable of making 80.5hp @ 6,500rpm and 110Nm @ 3,000rpm.

While the Cromwell shows Brixton capability to challenge the big bike segment, there is no denying that the biggest demand lies in middleweight motorcycles ranging from 400cc to 700cc.

In an effort to further meet the demand for mid-capacity motorcycles, Brixton is set to roll out the new Crossfire 500 XC.

Unlike the standard Crossfire 500 that is clearly a road-oriented motorcycle, the XC is built to ride in all kinds of terrain, including light off-road.

Brixton will introduce the Crossfire 500 XC later this year with some information about the motorcycle that is already available on the company official website.

The XC will feature the same 486cc parallel-twin engine that makes 47hp and 43Nm.

Selepas berbulan spekulasi yang disusuli dengan beberapa dokumen paten, akhirnya Brixton Motorcycles mendedahkan Cromwel 1200 2022.

Sekalipun motosikal jenama Britain milik syarikat Austria (KSR Group) itu dihasilkan di China, namun pelancaran Cromwell 1200 seakan menghadirkan masa depan yang cerah bagi Brixton Motorcycles.

Meskipun rekaan keseluruhan jelas diinspirasikan daripada jenama terkemuka Triumph Bonneville, Cromwell 1200 masih lagi didatangkan dengan ciri terkini antaranya lampu LED penuh, ABS dan paparan skrin TFT.

Brixton Cromwell 1200 ini juga menawarkan 80hp pada 8,500rpm dan 108Nm pada 3,500rpm sekaligus setaraf dengan Bonneville T120 yang menghasilkan 79.1hp dan 105Nm.

Sementara itu, sistem suspensi merangkumi penyerap hentakan KYB manakala aspek brek dikendalikan kaliper brek Nissin dengan cakera brek 310mm depan dan 260mm belakang yang dipadankan bersama tayar 18″ depan dan 17″ belakang.

Antara ciri menarik lain ditawarkan adalah:

  • fungsi ride-by-wire
  • dua mod tunggangan
  • tangki 16L
  • tinggi tempat duduk 800mm
  • berat bersih 235kg

Menurut Brixton, Cromwell 1200 ini boleh mencapai kelajuan maksima 198km/j.

Months after the patent application leaked online, Brixton has finally unveiled the 1200cc retro motorcycle in China.

The GK1200 is equipped with a 1,200cc parallel-twin SOCH liquid-cooled engine capable of pushing between 80 and 85hp @ 6,500rpm and peak torque of 110Nm @ 3,000rpm.

The retro machine adopts the same basic design as the iconic Bonneville, with a circular headlight, flat seat, spoke wheels and two long chrome exhausts running parallel to the ground.

According to reports, the GK1200 features KYB suspension, Nissin brakes, Bosch electronics including ABS, traction control and multiple riding modes. It also packs with full LED light setup and a TFT display.

While further details remain scarce, Brixton might reveal the full specifications of the 2022 model in EICMA in November.

A few months ago, it was rumoured that Brixton is working on an all-new retro-twin 1200cc motorcycle based on the concept model introduced back in 2019.

It turns out the rumour was true, as confirmed by a new design patent that shows a 3D rendering of the final production model.

While the previous rumour and concept model did not reveal the engine capacity, the 3D renderings clearly show 1200 badging on the side panels, confirming the company intention of competing with Triumph’s iconic Bonneville range.

Codename M31, the bike is designed entirely in Austria by Brixton but will be manufacture in China by Gaokin. The same approach is taken by Triumph, whereby all mass models, including the Bonneville, is manufactured in Thailand.

Nevertheless, the M31 shows a daring resemblance to the Bonneville, including the frame design.

Other similar aspects include a vertically mounted radiator behind the front wheel and a SOHC cylinder head with a rocker-operated valve.

However, it remains to be seen whether the M31 will offer the same engine performance as the current Bonneville range, but if they do, it would be something worth looking out for.

Nonetheless, it is safe to assume that the M31 will not feature top-notch specifications than the Bonneville to offer a more affordable price range.

Brixton likely intends to unveil the new motorcycle later this year as a 2022 model.

Ketika di EICMA 2019, Brixton Motorcycles telah pun mendedahkan jentera konsep dengan enjin 1,200cc.

Namun apa yang mencuri tumpuan ketika itu adalah reka bentuk motosikal tersebut yang mirip Triumph Bonneville T120.

Ketika itu, pihak Brixton mendedahkan model 1,200cc itu bakal diangkat ke peringkat pengeluaran namun memasuki 2021, masih tiada sebarang perkembangan terbaru.

Apatah lagi dengan dunia dilanda pandemik Covid-19, percaturan Brixton pasti turut tergendala.

Bagaimanapun, laporan terbaru mendedahkan Brixton Motorcycles telah pun memfailkan paten yang mengesahkan enjin 1,200cc itu telah pun memasuki peringkat pengeluaran.

Paten tersebut datangnya dari Gaokin, pengeluar motosikal dari China yang ketika ini menghasilkan motosikal Brixton.

Gambar paten tersebut jelas memaparkan rekaan enjin sama yang ditayangkan pada EICMA 2019 dan seperti enjin T120 Triumph, enjin 1,200cc ini dilengkapi sistem penyejukan cecair dan dua dilinder.

Ketika ini tiada tarikh pelancaran model 1,200cc ini didedahkan namun apa yang pasti, tawaran terbaru dari Brixton ini pastinya akan mencuri perhatian ramai.

It’s been a while since we’ve heard anything from Brixton Motorcycles, but the Austrian manufacturer is back with the latest and biggest bike yet, the 2020 Brixton Crossfire 500. Unveiled for the European market, the finalised specs have been released on their official website. (more…)
