The Brixton range of retro bikes can be viewed at dealerships as soon as government Covid-19 lockdown procedures permit.
The Brixton bikes only differ in styling and colour choices which each model coming in a single specific colour depending on the model. The BX150 base model comes in Black/Dark green with brown flat seat, the BX150X, painted Matte Black/Grey, features block pattern tyres, braced handlebar, tank pads and black flat seat while the BX150R is equipped with chrome bar-end mirrors on the low set handlebars, classic look tyres and clubman seat, finished in Red/Grey.
Mechanically, the BX150 comes with a 149 cc, air-cooled, SOHC single-cylinder producing 11 hp at 8,000 rpm and 11.9 Nm of torque at 6,000 rpm, fed by EFI. Power gets to the ground via a five-speed gearbox and chain final drive, making the BX150 simple in engineering design with the inclusion of a kick starter together with the electric starter betraying the vintage of the engine.
Suspension uses non-adjustable telescopic forks at the front end and twin shock absorbers are the back that are adjustable for pre-load. Braking is done with a single hydraulic disc front and rear, with combined braking – front and rear brakes are activated when the front brake lever is pressed – giving a measure of safety during hard braking.

Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
like the retro design but turn off by the air cooled engine.
You want retro design with water cooled engine?
Yes please. Like triumph for example. Keeping retro looks but the feature my god I don’t know where to start
Retro doesn’t need shod with antiquated hardware.
While there can be a case made for a simple, basic, cheap, cut down bike, being retro isn’t the excuse.
What’s the reason behind the big price hike? Does it get ABS or something new? Or did the ringgit drop again?
You know why these retro bikes wont sell well here? It’s coz the these bikers company think they know what we want. What actually we want is :
1. Reasonable speed. Eg if it is 150cc then make it 15 hp. Not with a power that honda ex5 can cut me off on a highway easily. Come one brixton what a shame
2. Retro design with latest features. We want ABS, great suspension, great brakes, keyless, water cooled and etc. Come on we are living in 2021 and take a triumph for a good example. That’s what we really want. If not perhaps ABS feature only will be mean so much to us.
3. Reliability. Is brixton shop inside shopee? If yes this company better be. Please where’s the custom parts that we can easily go to the shop and buy one.
Bro, I think what you want sounds like the Yamaha XSR 155, maybe with ABS, and maybe as cheap as possible.
I still think there will be people who really want something classic, air cooled. I just think it’s missing ABS, and it’s going to be fun puttering around at 70kmh on country lanes.
Not XSR actually, XSR is not a retro bike anymore, u can see by it’s frame already.
Speaking of the features, ya like i said, mybe ONE of the features will do, if not abs then its water cooled, if not water cooled mybe keyless or so on. sometimes a small features like kill switch or beam light flicker gives a big impact to the riders too.
i agree with you on the air cooled. to me i dont mind to pick between air cooled or water cooled. Harley still uses air cooled and i am pretty dang like it. triumph use watercooled and i like it too.
The main problem is the horsepower they produced is too little to be expect from 150cc for the first impression. i thought it gonna be as fast as y15 but nope, EX5 still can catch up *lmfao* it barely can reach 110 kmh.
Although i am late to reply by few months but you are wrong my friend. Brixton is super hotcake in malaysia due to the nice friendly pricing compare to triumph . Its everyones dream to own a cheap as built cafe racer without customize and trigger JPJ . Ive been waitin almost a year for them to restock cafe racer model lei!
