In the final stages of last year 2025, the news was confirmed: Phelon & Moore is roaring again: 60 years later, the historic British brand is reborn with force. Adventure motorcycles, custom and scooters. Now, just 12 months later, it announces the new Capetown 5X and Capetown 5 Rally as the main developments for 2027.
In addition, they expand the brand’s adventure offering with a more compact, accessible and off-road-oriented alternative than the Capetown 7which remains in the range. Both motorcycles share a focus on versatility, rider confidence and functional design, but are tailored to different uses.
Capetown 5X and Capetown 5 Rally in detail
While the Capetown 5X shows us a face more oriented towards everyday life and road trips, the 5 Rally variant places greater emphasis on off-road capability, taking the concept of adventure even further off the beaten path. Its 21-inch front and 18-inch rear wheels, roughly 50mm more suspension travel than the 5X, and raised front fender underscore its dirt-oriented setup.
The Capetown 5X is designed as a versatile adventure motorcycle for commuting, traveling and “to discover paths beyond the city”they point out from the brand itself. Its 19-inch front and 17-inch rear wheels, suspension travel comparable to that of the Capetown 7, a lower front fender and a rear luggage rack give it an efficient balance between road and mountain.
With its dedicated luggage rack, it can also be the ideal companion for longer trips. That said, it is worth noting that both the Capetown 5X and the Capetown 5 Rally have been developed taking into account the real needs of adventurous motorcyclists. Its ergonomics have been designed to provide an intuitive and natural driving position.
The brand has worked on the design of its components here, with a narrow seat (adjustable in two positions), wide handlebars and sculpted tank side panels that help the rider feel the bike when the terrain becomes more demanding. Likewise, the adjustable windshield allows you to quickly adapt wind protection.
Other details to take into account in the configuration of both models are, for example, the adjustable suspension, integrated 7-inch TFT screen, full LED lights, tubeless spoked wheels, heated grips, or a powerful alloy crankcase protector. In short, everything necessary to improve the piloting experience in any circumstance and level of demand.
