Fantic Caballero 500
Big news
The great icon of the Venetian manufacturer is presented with important updates that renew its aesthetics and performance
Hello all motorbike enthusiasts! In our latest Moto.it video, we take you straight into the heart of EICMA 2023 to discover together the new Fantic Caballero 500. This model, which in a very short time has been able to become an icon of the Venetian manufacturer, presents itself with important updates that renew its aesthetics and performance.
Let's start with the design: the Caballero 500 stands out for its new metallic blue colour, a detail that makes it even more eye-catching. But it's not just a question of looks: with our Andrea Perfetti we explored the numerous technological details that characterise this model, starting with the brand new LED headlight, a qualitative leap over the previous, more traditional one. The user interface of the instrumentation has also been completely revamped, with a new colour LCD unit reminiscent of that of the twin-cylinder 700.
But the new features don't stop there: we took a closer look at the changes to the engine, which remains a single-cylinder four-valve 40-horsepower unit, but now offers smoother and fuller delivery at low revs thanks to revised mapping and increased flywheel mass.
We also gathered the impressions of the EICMA audience and some Caballero 500 owners, who shared their experiences and observations on the changes made to the model.
Not missing, of course, is a look at the Rally version, with its long travel suspension and high mudguard, which has already caught the attention of enthusiasts.
