By 2024, Fantic Motor is renewing the entire Caballero family. Fans of the classic scrambler from Veneto can rest assured: it has remained true to itself and has not been renewed. The interventions not only did not affect all the qualities that made it one of the most popular proposals in the segment, but, on the contrary, they enhanced them, starting with the lightweight that many appreciate: the new 500 weighs only 149 kg. The three different stylistic versions were also confirmed: Rally for those who prefer off-road, Deluxe for those who want a more urban character, and Explorer for those seeking more adventure.
The new range does not change the model’s platform, but it is renewed in all aspects, starting with the style, with new headlights, turn signals, and rear taillight with integrated license plate holder, compared to the previous version. The Fantic design center internally designed all the new headlight components, starting with the extremely bright 24-LED daytime running light and the round rear light, also fully LED. Important is the evolution towards electronic components that implement a new premium 4″ LCD instrument with a much richer user interface, adding the gear indicator, engine level, and temperature. It also includes Bluetooth for calls and audio. The new handlebar grips allow you to completely turn off the ABS using the “Off-Road” driving mode.
The engine also underwent a performance increase with an updated mapping that further optimizes its linearity, offering amplitude at all rotations and reducing the on/off effect. On the frame side, on the other hand, the introduction of a new aluminum swingarm is seen. Inspired by the 700, it improves rigidity and off-road performance, also reducing weight by 2 kg compared to the previous steel version. All versions and colors for 2023 are confirmed, including the Scrambler version, as well as the historic Azzurro version that we have already seen on the Caballero 700. The entire Caballero range will also be equipped with the new iOS and Android application – Fantic Garage – capable of managing the functionality, maintenance, and navigation of the motorcycle, all in one practical platform.
