Santa Maria di Sala (VE), July 31, 2025
With the new MX MY26 lineup, Fantic continues its exponential growth in offroad racing, establishing itself once again as a top-tier player. The brand from Veneto introduces its most complete and advanced motocross range ever: four models (XX125 2T, XX250 2T, XXF250 4T, XXF450 4T), directly shaped by experience in MXGP, the EMX European Championship, and continuous top-level development.
The new 4-stroke models feature significant technical updates, including standard Akrapovic exhausts, engine developments, and a world-class electronics package. The 2-stroke models receive a fresh new look and will be available starting mid-September 2025, while the XXF450 and XXF250 will hit the market in November 2025.
Meticulous attention to detail and the pursuit of excellence begins in racing—the true testing ground for Fantic’s development—and naturally flow into production bikes. The numbers speak for themselves: over 40 National and International Titles won in five seasons attest to the performance level. In the current 2025 season, the Fantic Factory Racing MXGP team has already made history, securing the brand’s first 6 podiums in the premier MXGP class. Six holeshots this season also showcase the outstanding starting power of the XXF450. In Cozar, Spain, during only the second round of the season, Glenn Coldenhoff and Andrea Bonacorsi achieved a double podium, placing their Fantic XXF 450s in second and third overall. Coldenhoff also delivered Fantic’s first-ever moto win in MXGP and has added four more podiums, entering the fight for a top 3 championship position.
The Enduro MY26 lineup, composed of five specialized Euro5+ homologated models (XE125, XE300, XEF250, XEF310, XEF450), will be unveiled in September.
The common thread across the 2026 Fantic Offroad lineup remains the Fantic Factory Feeling—the concept of bringing the same knowledge and expertise gained in the toughest, most competitive championships into every production bike. Every component, every adjustment, and every technical detail is designed to deliver that direct, honest, high-performance feel previously reserved only for official Factory Racing riders.
FANTIC MX 2-STROKE
XX125 AND XX250 MY26
RED PLATE – The 2-stroke queens get a refreshed look
The XX125, two-time Junior World Champion and reigning EMX125 European Champion, continues to be a class benchmark thanks to its perfect balance of high performance and outstanding rideability. The XX250, one of the most successful bikes in Fantic’s recent history and already a favorite among high-performance 2-stroke enthusiasts, combines explosive power with a unique chassis—featuring a precise aluminum frame that delivers top performance with full control in any condition.
The new MY26 XX125 and XX250 feature a completely updated graphic design, created to emphasize their racing spirit and reinforce their identity as true motocross standouts. After the major technical evolution introduced in MY25—new cooling systems, fuel tanks, shrouds, and side panels—both models maintain the proven chassis, engine, and ergonomics package for 2026. This winning design has been refined through constant work with the Fantic Racing division, ensuring high performance and maximum reliability.
Chassis – Both the XX125 and XX250 2-stroke feature a class-leading chassis starting from a precise, advanced, semi-double cradle aluminum frame weighing just 8 kg for the best stiffness-to-lightness ratio. Class-leading control and responsiveness allow riders of all levels to perform at their best. Fantic relies on Kayaba suspension, a long-standing off-road benchmark. The 48 mm pressurized closed-cartridge Kayaba SSS (Speed Sensitive System) fork offers 300 mm of travel and is fully adjustable (preload, rebound, compression), adapting to every rider—from novice to pro. The Kayaba rear shock provides 315 mm of wheel travel.
Engine – Small but mighty, the 125cc 2-stroke engine is impressively powerful and responsive. With extensive research and precision machining on the cylinder, piston, and rod, the XX125 offers exceptional performance. The exhaust system features a high-performing chromed expansion chamber developed by Fantic R&D, with a 100% race-ready aluminum silencer.
The Fantic XX250 is pure adrenaline. Its high-capacity 2-stroke engine delivers powerful jumps and earned top results in both EMX 2T and EMX 250 championships. The piston was specifically designed for racing, incorporating Factory Team experience to bring 250cc engine performance to a new level: explosive yet manageable.
Perfect mapping in every condition – The CDI ignition unit, developed by Fantic Racing, ensures optimal combustion at all RPMs by electronically managing ignition timing. Whether racing on hard-pack, sand, or muddy terrain, the XX125 and XX250 come standard with two handlebar-selectable engine maps. The Soft Map delays ignition timing to smooth out power delivery and is ideal for tricky terrain, offering a bike with a responsive yet more manageable throttle feel—without compromising on maximum power. The Hard Map is pure adrenaline, perfect for tracks with exceptional grip that let you unleash the bike’s full potential.
For those wanting more, the XX125 Racing Replica Engine Kit is available, including a race head, piston, cylinder, complete exhaust, rotor assembly, ECU, reed valve system, and more.
The new MY26 Fantic liveries celebrate the brand’s legacy with a graphic theme inspired by iconic red and blue colors, reinterpreted with a modern twist and enhanced with high-impact chrome accents.
FANTIC MX 4-STROKE
XXF250 AND XXF450 MY26
Power, aggression, and total control – With multiple holeshots, six GP podiums, and a historic first MXGP moto win, the Fantic 4-strokes have taken the spotlight this season. The new MY26 XXF450 and its sibling XXF250 raise the performance bar even further with technical enhancements that amplify their racing DNA.
The new Fantic 4-stroke models embody the Factory Feeling—machines designed to go beyond standard expectations by offering premium technical solutions and top-tier equipment as standard. Experience from the MXGP World Championship, with Glenn Coldenhoff, Andrea Bonacorsi, and Brian Bogers, has directly informed the development of the 2026 4T range.
Among the most immediate upgrades: standard Akrapovic exhaust systems (titanium silencers with stainless steel headers) on both the XXF250 and XXF450, derived directly from the Factory Racing MXGP team, significantly improving power and torque curves.
Chassis – On the XXF450, front frame stiffness has been revised to provide the rider with more precise feedback. The Fantic 4Ts are technological showcases with high-end aluminum frames combining forged, extruded, and cast components in perfect synergy for optimal weight-to-rigidity balance. This ensures confidence and stability over jumps, in fast corners, and through high-speed terrain. The Kayaba SSS fork remains a benchmark.
Engine – XXF250 – The XXF250 features a standout market-exclusive layout: a reversed cylinder head with direct front-facing intake and a rearward-tilted cylinder for maximum mass centralization—resulting in exceptional agility and handling.
Engine – XXF450 – The MY26 XXF450 takes performance further with an updated Yamaha engine. The intake ports have been redesigned for optimal airflow and improved performance across the entire rev range.
The hydraulic clutch (Brembo system) comes as standard and is now paired with an updated clutch spring and a pressure plate featuring additional lubrication holes, improving reliability under the most extreme riding conditions.
The flywheel with increased inertia ensures an enhanced riding experience.
World-class electronics package – The Fantic 2026 4-stroke range comes standard with GET Traction Control and Launch Control, managed via a handlebar multi-switch. Numerous holeshots in the current MXGP season confirm the XXF450’s gate prowess. The Athena-GET ST39 ECU, developed by Fantic Racing, serves as the bike’s brain and offers two handlebar-selectable maps (Hard, Soft), all customizable through the WiGET app on your smartphone.
A refined and effective ergonomic design, developed with Fantic Racing, includes slim bodywork for unrestricted movement, along with standard handguards and skid plate—making the XXF250 and 450 true competition weapons.
The price list will be available at the end of August.
