Fantic Caballero Range Gets Updates For 2021

Italian motorcycle brand Fantic has announced some big updates for its Caballero range of motorcycles spanning 125 cc and 500 cc. For 2021, with Euro 5 updates, the 250 cc variant will not be offered, leaving just the 125 cc and 500 cc variants of the Cabarello. The 125 will see an entirely new powerplant with the introduction of the 125 cc Minarelli engine, which has been bought from Yamaha following an agreement. The new engine uses variable valve actuation (VVA) system which allows it to switch cam profiles depending on engine revs.

The 125 gets a new cylinder head design, and also comes with a slipper clutch which will help prevent rear wheel lock ups, as well as provide a light feel on the lever, and help improve gearshifts. There's also a new cooling system, and a new exhaust with carbon fibre heat shield. The saddle has also been upgraded to a more comfortable unit, and the 125 also gets Scrambler and Flat Track models for 2021, which meet the latest European emission regulations.
