Crossfire 500 X

The Crossfire 500 X brings the same overall package to the road as its sister model but in a little more relaxed fashion. The handlebars are wider, the seat flatter, and the Pirelli tires stubbier. Plus, the license plate holder mounted in classic fashion under the seat. All that gives the 500 X a raw appearance that radiates nothing but readiness. It doesn’t nag about the curb you didn’t want to go around or the dirt road you took on the way home. It’s this relaxed attitude that the Crossfire 500 X carries within, giving you confidence in any riding situation.

The suspension elements from the Japanese suspension manufacturer Kayaba/KYB are set for maximum grip in every driving condition. The upside-down fork is adjustable in compression, the central shock in spring preload and rebound. In conjunction with the MT60 scrambler tires from Pirelli, the chassis plays out its full potential.

A deep, rich roar that no other engine in this cubic capacity class can match. The Crossfire’s exhaust system is made entirely of stainless steel. With the flat front silencer and the brushed conical-oval shaped rear silencer, it is a real feast for the eyes even in the EU5 version.
