Overview

Introducing the 2022 Fantic Caballero DeLuxe 500, a striking blend of classic Italian styling and modern engineering, positioned in the sport segment of the motorcycle market. Fantic, a brand with a rich heritage in off-road and street motorcycles, has crafted the Caballero DeLuxe to cater to riders who crave both performance and aesthetics. This bike is perfect for those who want to stand out on the streets while enjoying a spirited ride that embodies the essence of motorcycling—freedom, adventure, and style. With its distinctive design and robust performance capabilities, the Caballero DeLuxe 500 is designed to appeal to both new riders and seasoned enthusiasts alike. At the heart of the Caballero DeLuxe 500 lies a 449cc single-cylinder engine that delivers an impressive 40 horsepower at 7,500 RPM and a torque of 43 Nm at 6,000 RPM. This powerplant, coupled with a finely tuned 6-speed gearbox, ensures that riders experience exhilarating acceleration and smooth gear transitions, whether navigating city streets or tackling twisty backroads. The liquid-cooled engine is equipped with a 40mm throttle body fuel injection system, optimizing fuel efficiency and ensuring an impressive consumption rate of just 4.20 liters per 100 km, translating to about 56.00 mpg. This means you can enjoy longer rides without constantly worrying about refueling, enhancing the overall riding experience. The Caballero DeLuxe 500 is not just about power; it also boasts advanced features and technology designed for superior handling and comfort. Its CrMo steel central-tube frame provides a lightweight yet sturdy foundation, ensuring stability and agility through every turn. The bike features a sophisticated suspension setup, including 41mm upside-down front forks and adjustable rear damping, both offering 200mm of travel to absorb bumps effortlessly. The braking system, equipped with ABS and dual discs (320mm front and 230mm rear), guarantees confident stopping power in all conditions. Riders will appreciate the electric starter for convenience, and the beautifully crafted grey finish adds an elegant touch to this modern classic. **
