Fantic Caballero Rally 500 2025

Fantic Caballero Rally 500 2025

The Fantic Caballero 500 Rally is positioned as a manoeuvrable, fun-oriented off-road bike with a strong character and surprising depth. It is not aimed at those looking for uncompromising adventure touring bikes, but at anyone looking for a light, intuitive and emotionally charged bike for off-road excursions and everyday use. With its powerful single cylinder, agile riding performance and numerous clever details, it offers a lot of fun - especially for riders of short to average height. At the same time, it shows light and shade: Where it offers high-quality milled parts and off-road-compatible solutions, it impresses. In other areas, such as the ergonomics for tall riders or the ABS that cannot be deactivated, it reveals clear limits. But that is precisely what makes it so charming - a small Italian with character, rough edges and corners.
