The XX 250 is one of the most decorated motorcycles in Fantic’s recent history and a true benchmark for high-performance 2-stroke enthusiasts.
It stands out for its explosive power paired with exceptional chassis performance: the ultra-precise aluminum frame ensures maximum performance with total control in every situation.
The Fantic XX 250 is pure adrenaline. Its powerful high-displacement 2-stroke engine delivers impressive thrust at every jump, completing a package that has taken it to the top of the EMX 2T and EMX 250 European Championships.
The piston, specifically designed for high-level racing performance and developed thanks to the experience of the Fantic Factory Team, elevates the performance of the 250 cc engine to the next level: explosive power delivery, yet always manageable.
The XX 250 2-stroke offers benchmark chassis performance, built around an extremely precise and technologically advanced aluminum semi-double cradle frame. Its low weight of just 8 kg provides the best possible balance between rigidity and lightness, ensuring flawless control and class-leading responsiveness. A perfectly tuned combination that allows every rider to express their full potential in any situation.
Fantic entrusts suspension management to the proven reliability of Kayaba, a name that has represented the off-road standard for years. The Kayaba SSS (Speed Sensitive System) 48 mm pressurised closed-cartridge fork, with 300 mm of travel, is fully adjustable for preload, compression and rebound, offering excellent versatility that adapts perfectly to any riding level, from beginners to professional racers. The fully adjustable Kayaba rear shock provides 315 mm of wheel travel, ensuring grip, stability and precision even on the most demanding terrain.
The new XX 250 MY26 debuts with a completely updated graphic design, developed to highlight its distinctly racing character and reaffirm its identity as a true protagonist in the motocross world.
After the major technical evolution introduced on the MY25 2-strokes — which brought new cooling systems, a redesigned fuel tank, shrouds and side panels — the XX 250 confirms for 2026 the chassis, engine and ergonomics platform already extensively tested.
A winning project, perfected over time thanks to constant collaboration with the Fantic Racing department, guaranteeing high performance and absolute reliability.
Perfect mapping in every condition — The CDI control unit, developed directly by the Fantic racing department, ensures optimal combustion at any rpm thanks to electronically managed ignition timing. Whether it’s rock-hard ground, deep sand, dry terrain or heavy, muddy tracks, the XX 250 is designed to always react in the best possible way.
The bike comes standard with two engine maps selectable from the handlebar:
Soft Map: Retards ignition timing for smoother and more progressive power delivery. Ideal on the most challenging terrains, it offers a more controllable response without sacrificing top-end power.
Hard Map: The most aggressive setting. Perfect when grip is high, it unleashes the full power of the 250 2-stroke for a punchy, adrenaline-charged riding experience.
The new Fantic MY26 liveries celebrate the brand’s heritage by reinterpreting the iconic red and blue colours with a more modern and aggressive twist. The graphic theme is enhanced by the use of visually striking chrome elements, which highlight the lines of the plastics and give the bike a unique presence — instantly recognisable on the track.
