ENGINE
Cuore Italiano 
The new 460cc DOHC single-cylinder engine by Fantic Motor, entirely designed, developed, and assembled in Italy at Motori Minarelli, is a true concentration of technology and performance. With a compact design and a weight of under 40 kg, this E5+ engine combines lightness and efficiency. The double overhead camshaft distribution with finger followers ensures a sharp and punchy response across all rev ranges, combining the typical torque of a single-cylinder with sporty power — at the top of the A2 license category. The forged piston, derived from racing technology, allows for high revs, while the compact cylinder head optimizes vehicle balance, offering an ideal layout for precise and stable handling, especially around the fuel tank area.

Slipper Clutch
The innovative slipper clutch improves safety and riding comfort by reducing the effort required on the lever, providing a smoother and lighter operation. This system prevents the rear wheel from locking during downshifts, ensuring greater control and stability — even in sporty riding conditions or on challenging terrain. A technology designed to maximize the riding experience and vehicle performance.

Ride by Wire
Thanks to the Ride by Wire system, electronic engine management offers precise and responsive throttle control, ensuring optimal response in all conditions. Each vehicle comes with 2 dedicated riding modes, tailored to different riding needs, and advanced assistance systems that enhance both safety and comfort on the road and off-road.

PERFORMANCE & TECH
Exhaust System
The stainless steel exhaust system with dual muffler, Made in Italy by Arrow, is optimized through fluid dynamics analysis to maximize performance and power. The intake ducts, designed with CFD3D technology, ensure a uniform airflow, reduce turbulence, and minimize pressure losses. Innovation and precision for superior performance.

Cooling System
The Caballero 500 features an optimized cooling system, which improves the vehicle’s overall thermal exchange under all environmental conditions. The new oil cooler keeps the engine within its ideal temperature range, even during the toughest off-road challenges.

Tech Pack
The tech pack is top-level — unique in its segment. It includes an inertial platform for optimal stability and switchable cornering ABS, with both full-off and rear-off modes, perfect for those who seek the ultimate off-road riding pleasure.

Instrumentation
The Caballero 500 is equipped with a 3.5" LCD Bonded Interface. The adaptive backlighting and anti-glare screen ensure immediate readability in any lighting condition. The clear and intuitive interface allows for full control of the vehicle in all riding situations. The two riding modes ("Street" and "All Terrain") also allow the rider to adapt the bike to different road or off-road conditions.

CHASSIS
Single-Beam Frame
The new steel monobeam frame of the Caballero 500 ensures superior riding precision and stability both on-road and off-road. The suspension package, with updated hydraulic tuning for the rear monoshock, also guarantees unmatched comfort and riding pleasure.

Uncompromising Performance
The Pirelli Scorpion Rally STR tires, with 110/80-19 front and 140/80-17 rear, are engineered to deliver excellent performance in any situation. With their outstanding grip and optimal traction, they ensure safety and control both on-road and off-road.

ERGONOMICS & AESTHETICS
The Caballero 500 Deluxe stands out for its refined and timeless design, now available in two exclusive color options: the elegant Grey and the new and captivating Copper shade. This color combination enhances the model’s iconic lines, blending style and personality. Perfect for those seeking a motorcycle with a vintage soul, yet featuring modern details and a strong identity.
Caballero 500 Deluxe: elegance, performance, and unmistakable character on every road.

Ergonomics & Comfort
With a 30 mm narrower width, achieved through a thorough redesign of the side panels and a new seat with enhanced grip cover, the new Caballero provides ideal comfort, even on long-distance rides. The seat has also been redesigned in width, especially in the passenger area, to offer even more comfortable seating. This configuration ensures a natural riding position, improving control and stability, even in the most demanding conditions, for a safe and comfortable ride on any terrain. A new quick-release seat system with key is this year’s exclusive feature, designed to make access to the under-seat compartment and document holder easier than ever.

Headlight, Taillight & Turn Signals
Advanced lighting for the Caballero: the Full LED system includes a circular position light with 24 LEDs and an internal "Fantic" logo for a unique style touch. The front and rear LED indicators complete the design, ensuring optimal visibility and a modern, distinctive look.
