Enduro finds a new point of balance. After its debut last year, the Fantic XEF310 returns for 2026 completely renewed. It is an entirely new motorcycle: new engine, new frame, evolved ergonomics and Euro 5+ homologation.
A true synthesis between the agility of a 250 and the power of a 450, designed for those who seek maximum effectiveness in racing, but also for enthusiasts who want a full, intuitive and enjoyable riding experience.
Its potential has already emerged in the 2025 Enduro World Championship thanks to Axel Semb, the Junior red-plate holder — a tangible confirmation of the model’s qualities.
The technical revolution of the XEF310 MY26 begins with its new Euro 5+–approved engine, completely redesigned to deliver superior performance and a more effective response in every situation. The exhaust system has been updated with a new high-efficiency architecture that improves power delivery and smoothness, while the racing unlock has been made even simpler and more immediate, allowing riders to fully exploit the engine’s potential.
The new 304 cc engine has been developed specifically for modern enduro: a powerplant designed to perform at its best across different terrains, from technical transfers to the fastest special stages. The compression ratio, set at 12.8:1, is not extreme but optimised to provide strong, manageable torque and ideal elasticity for true 360-degree off-road riding.
The result is an engine that is responsive, full and intuitive — capable of sustaining the pace of the most competitive riders without penalising those seeking a fun, progressive and less fatiguing ride.
The new Athena ECU, developed with the know-how of Fantic Racing, manages every engine parameter with extreme precision, ensuring consistently optimised response and a high level of customization in any riding condition.
The electronic package is among the most complete in the category: two handlebar-selectable maps (Hard/Soft), 10-level adjustable Traction Control, and standard WiFi COM, allowing every detail to be configured directly from a smartphone.
All functions are controlled via the new multifunction maps + traction button and the updated start/kill switch, designed to offer an even more immediate, robust and reliable user experience.
From a chassis perspective, the XEF310 MY26 introduces a newly designed aluminum perimeter frame, engineered to deliver rigidity, precision and a superior riding feel. The Kayaba SSS suspension, equipped with dedicated tuning, ensures impeccable behaviour even on the most demanding terrain, offering top-level support and sensitivity.
The braking system completes the package with a 270 mm front disc and a 240 mm rear disc, both designed to provide powerful, modular and reliable braking in every riding situation.
Aesthetically, the XE300 MY26 introduces a new headlight mask paired with a lighter, more powerful and more modern LED headlight, complemented by the MY26 graphics that emphasise an even more aggressive and distinctive look.
Ergonomics, directly derived from competition, represent another key strength: compact layout, optimal mass centralisation, slim shrouds, integrated tanks (oil and fuel), direct access to the air filter, and shapes designed to ensure maximum freedom of movement in every riding condition.
