The Brixton Cromwell 1200 aims to offer a retro British motorcycle experience for a significantly lesser price than its direct competitor, the Triumph Bonneville T120. It packs in a more powerful engine and premium quality hardware as well, but it remains to be seen how the Cromwell 1200 performs in terms of ease of ownership and the overall ride experience.

Brixton Cromwell 1200 Detailed Review

A more conservative design approach inspired by British neo-retro motorcycles. 8

• The Cromwell 1200 looks more proportionate compared to its siblings, and it also gets a
  smoother, more conservative approach overall.
• The gaitered rubber tube treatment on the front forks further adds to the retro feeling,
  making the Cromwell 1200 resemble an old British motorcycle.
• Blacked-out mechanical components balance out the retro charm with a modern-day
  vibe that keeps up with the times.
• Available in three paint schemes; backstage black, timberwolf grey, cargo green

1/1

Gets plenty of premium hardware, but misses out on tubeless rims. 7

• The Cromwell 1200 comes with KYB suspension on both ends; 41mm USD forks with
  120mm travel, along with twin shock absorbers with 87mm travel.
• The Nissin braking system includes a 310mm twin-disc setup at the front with dual-piston
  callipers, along with a 260mm disc with a dual-piston calliper. The dual-channel ABS
  from Bosch adds further protection.
• The 18-inch front and 17-inch rear spoke rims are shod on Pirelli Phantom Sportscomp
  tyres. However, this motorcycle misses out on tubeless rims, which is strange for this
  price point.

A parallel-twin engine that is marginally more powerful than the Triumph Bonneville T120. 8

• The 1222cc, liquid-cooled, parallel-twin engine produces 81.8bhp at 6550rpm and
  108Nm of torque at 3100rpm, while paired to a 6-speed transmission.
• This motorcycle also gets ride-by-wire throttle, along with two riding modes; eco and
  sport, which can alter its character depending on the rider’s needs.
• With a kerb weight 235kg, the Cromwell 1200 won’t be the easiest to move at parking
  speeds, but it should be fairly easy to ride at normal speeds.

Cromwell 1200 engine specifications:

Engine Displacement	1222 cc
Top Speed	198 kmph
Power	81.8 bhp @ 6500 rpm
Torque	108 Nm @ 3100 rpm

Packs decent equipment but misses out on connectivity features. 7

•  A round TFT display is on offer, which appears rather small, and its contents might be
  difficult for riders to glance at while on the move.
• The Cromwell 1200 packs in things such as cruise control, traction control, and a USB
  port, but there is no mention of smartphone connectivity or navigation.
