Italian manufacturer Fantic has lifted the covers off the XEF250, a four-stroke enduro bike that will join the brand's 2021 off-road lineup.
The news follows the reveal of Fantic’s 2021 125 motocross and enduro offerings.
The XEF250 is based on the Yamaha YZ250F but tuned and specced by the Italian firm for off-road racing. It’s the same approach Fantic takes with the YZ125-based XX125 and XE125 models.
It comes equipped with an Arrow exhaust, Nissin brakes, Kayaba suspension, DID rims and Dunlop Geomax EN91 tyres. The fuel tank is 7.9L, up from the YZ250F’s 6.2L but less than the 8.2L found on the YZ250FX.
Unforunteatly, there is no official Australian importer for Fantic.
