The XEF450 MY26 represents the ultimate expression of enduro according to Fantic: a completely new motorcycle designed to deliver top-level performance on any terrain. The new engine, new frame and Euro 5+ homologation define a modern, advanced platform capable of combining the strength of the 450 cc single-cylinder with sophisticated electronics that make power always manageable, smooth and perfectly controllable.
A motorcycle created to overcome any obstacle with ease, providing the rider with stability, traction and confidence even in the most demanding situations.
The electronic heart of the XEF450 MY26 is entrusted to the Athena-GET ECU, developed in collaboration with the Fantic racing department. Two engine maps (Hard/Soft), fully customizable via the WiGET app, allow the power delivery to be adapted to any terrain or riding style. Selection is made directly from the new multifunction handlebar switch, which also manages traction control, giving the rider immediate and intuitive command in any situation.
Among the most significant innovations on the XEF450 MY26 is the new hydraulic clutch, designed to ensure constant and precise modulation even in the most demanding conditions. The new ARROW exhaust system also debuts, optimised to increase mid-range thrust and easily derestricted in racing configuration to exploit the full power of the 450 cc engine.
Completing the package is the new-generation integrated start/stop control, redesigned with improved ergonomics for more immediate and intuitive operation.
The chassis of the XEF450 MY26 evolves with a new aluminum perimeter frame, updated in terms of rigidity to enhance stability and precision in every riding phase. Completing the package are the fully adjustable Kayaba SSS suspensions, an absolute benchmark for sensitivity and support.
The result is an immediate feeling: total control, predictable response and unwavering confidence everywhere — from the toughest timed special of a World Championship to weekend mountain trails.
The aesthetics of the XEF450 MY26 follow the design language of the XXF range, introducing new graphics, a redesigned headlight mask and a completely new airbox for a modern, aggressive and unmistakably racing look.
The new Fantic MY26 liveries recall the brand’s golden age, reinterpreting the iconic red, white and blue in a contemporary style. The chrome base adds a distinctive, visually striking touch, enhancing the bike’s lines and making it instantly recognisable on any terrain.
