Cuore Italiano 

The new 460cc DOHC single-cylinder engine by Fantic Motor, entirely designed, developed, and assembled in Italy at Motori Minarelli, is a true concentration of technology and performance. With a compact design and a weight of under 40 kg, this E5+ engine combines lightness and efficiency. The double overhead camshaft distribution with finger followers ensures a sharp and punchy response across all rev ranges, combining the typical torque of a single-cylinder with sporty power — at the top of the A2 license category. The forged piston, derived from racing technology, allows for high revs, while the compact cylinder head optimizes vehicle balance, offering an ideal layout for precise and stable handling, especially around the fuel tank area.

Slipper Clutch

The innovative slipper clutch improves safety and riding comfort by reducing the effort required on the lever, providing a smoother and lighter operation. This system prevents the rear wheel from locking during downshifts, ensuring greater control and stability — even in sporty riding conditions or on challenging terrain. A technology designed to maximize the riding experience and vehicle performance.

Ride by Wire

Thanks to the Ride by Wire system, electronic engine management offers precise and responsive throttle control, ensuring optimal response in all conditions. Each vehicle comes with 2 dedicated riding modes, tailored to different riding needs, and advanced assistance systems that enhance both safety and comfort on the road and off-road.

Exhaust System

The stainless steel exhaust system with dual muffler, Made in Italy by Arrow, is optimized through fluid dynamics analysis to maximize performance and power. The intake ducts, designed with CFD3D technology, ensure a uniform airflow, reduce turbulence, and minimize pressure losses. Innovation and precision for superior performance.

Cooling System

The Caballero 500 features an optimized cooling system, which improves the vehicle’s overall thermal exchange under all environmental conditions. The new oil cooler keeps the engine within its ideal temperature range, even during the toughest off-road challenges.

Tech Pack

The tech pack is top-level — unique in its segment. It includes an inertial platform for optimal stability and switchable cornering ABS, with both full-off and rear-off modes, perfect for those who seek the ultimate off-road riding pleasure.

Instrumentation

The Caballero 500 is equipped with a 3.5" LCD Bonded Interface. The adaptive backlighting and anti-glare screen ensure immediate readability in any lighting condition. The clear and intuitive interface allows for full control of the vehicle in all riding situations. The two riding modes ("Street" and "All Terrain") also allow the rider to adapt the bike to different road or off-road conditions.

Single-Beam Frame

The new steel monobeam frame of the Caballero 500 ensures superior riding precision and stability both on-road and off-road. The suspension package, with updated hydraulic tuning for the rear monoshock, also guarantees unmatched comfort and riding pleasure.

Uncompromising Performance

The Caballero 500 Rally represents the highest evolution in chassis design within the range, engineered to tackle any terrain with superior performance. For the first time, it comes equipped with Pirelli Scorpion Rally STR tires and a 21” front wheel — the ideal setup to enhance stability and control in off-road conditions. The Pirelli Scorpion Rally STR tires, with a 90/90-21 front and 140/80-17 rear configuration, are designed to deliver excellent performance in every situation. Thanks to their exceptional grip and optimal traction, they ensure safety and control on both road and off-road surfaces.
The suspension setup is fully customizable, with adjustments for compression, rebound, and preload on both the front and rear, offering maximum versatility across all types of terrain. The 200 mm travel and 280 mm ground clearance further enhance the bike’s ability to handle obstacles and rough terrain.

The Caballero 500 Rally by Fantic Motor is designed to tackle the most extreme off-road conditions, combining bold design and high-performance technical components. Every detail is designed to ensure durability and functionality: the high front fender, engine skid plate, headlight grille, and front number plate emphasize its adventurous character.
Available in two exclusive color options, Sabbia, timeless and essential, and the new Metallic Green, with a modern and bold look, the Caballero 500 Rally combines style, durability, and performance for a riding experience without compromise.

Ergonomics & Comfort

With a 30 mm narrower width, achieved through a thorough redesign of the side panels and a new seat with enhanced grip cover, the new Caballero provides ideal comfort, even on long-distance rides. The seat has also been redesigned in width, especially in the passenger area, to offer even more comfortable seating. This configuration ensures a natural riding position, improving control and stability, even in the most demanding conditions, for a safe and comfortable ride on any terrain. A new quick-release seat system with key is this year’s exclusive feature, designed to make access to the under-seat compartment and document holder easier than ever.

Headlight, Taillight & Turn Signals

Advanced lighting for the Caballero: the Full LED system includes a circular position light with 24 LEDs and an internal "Fantic" logo for a unique style touch. The front and rear LED indicators complete the design, ensuring optimal visibility and a modern, distinctive look.
