Get ready to meet the ultimate disruptor in the heavyweight modern-classic segment: the Brixton Cromwell 1200. Exuding a commanding, old-school presence that punches well above its weight class, this Austrian-designed powerhouse is redefining what it means to ride "new old school." At its heart lies a massive 1222cc liquid-cooled parallel-twin engine that unleashes 83 PS of power and a colossal 108 Nm of torque at a ridiculously low 3,100 rpm. Pair that relentless, addictive pull with a throaty 270-degree crank rumble, a smooth 6-speed manual gearbox with an assist and slipper clutch, and premium KYB suspension, and you get an effortless mile-muncher that shrinks its 235 kg weight the second you twist the throttle. Beyond its timeless retro silhouette—complete with a teardrop fuel tank and classic spoke wheels wrapped in Pirelli Phantom Sportcomp tubeless rubber—the Cromwell 1200 is loaded with cutting-edge tech. It seamlessly blends vintage styling with dual-channel Bosch ABS, switchable traction control, electronic cruise control, a stunning round TFT display featuring Eco and Sport riding modes, and Nissin dual-disc brakes.
