2018 Brixton BX 150 series launched in Malaysia-Starting at RM8,988

KUALA LUMPUR: Noticing the growing popularity of the 150cc motorcycles in Malaysia, Mforce Bike Holdings decided to join hands with another renowned motorcycle manufacturer to become its sole distributor in Malaysia. It’s the Austrian bike manufacturer Brixton this time as the company introduced three new Brixton models in Malaysia under the BX 150 series. The base model of the classic looking naked roadster- BX 150 is offered at RM8,998 while the other two models- BX 150X and BX 150R are priced at RM9,288 and RM9,588 respectively.

Earlier this year, the BX 150 range was displayed by the Austrian bike maker at the Vietnam Motorcycle show where it managed to sell 500 units. Following its success in Vietnam and the European market, Brixton is looking to expand in over 50 countries and is also investing in a new production facility.

Coming back to the bikes, all three models are powered by the same 149cc, four-stroke, SOHC, air-cooled, single-cylinder engine which is said to produce maximum power of 11 hp at 8,000 rpm and peak torque of 11.4 Nm at 6,000 rpm. Power is transmitted to the rear wheel via a five-speed gearbox. The suspension is non-adjustable telescopic front forks and unit swing at the rear and braking duties are carried by a 280mm single disc up front along with a 220mm single disc at the rear with combined braking.

All three newbies carry a single combination analog Tachometer along with a digital speedometer. Fuel tank capacity of the bikes is said to be 14-litre and they weigh around 157kg. Brixton has equipped the BX 150 series with DRLs, LED turn indicator lamps and a USB charger is offered as standard.

Only a few cosmetic updates differentiate the three models. The base model flaunts a British-inspired retro style with a brown saddle and two colours - green and grey. On the other hand, the BX 150X poses a scrambler styling and comes in Matte Green and Matte Black, while the BX 150R is inspired from cafe racer and is available in red and silver colours.

Mforce Bike Holdings is already the sole distributor of Benelli and SYM motorcycles in Malaysia. With Brixton under its umbrella, the company is looking to offer something fresh and unique to the bike lovers in the country.
