Your first motard. With real character

There’s a precise moment when the passion for riding is born. That irresistible urge to take control and hit the road. The XM 50 Motard Performance is made for those living that moment now.

It’s the ideal bike to start with, but it does so with the style, character, and technical solutions that Fantic reserves for its full-size motorcycles. Compact, easy to handle, and already infused with racing DNA that takes you anywhere.

Choose your style, no compromises: White/Red, Black/Yellow or Pink. Three colours. One attitude: yours.

Motor
Technology that helps you grow

It’s not just another 50cc. Its liquid-cooled 2-stroke engine, now Euro 5+ 2025 compliant with electronic ignition, is designed to deliver the perfect balance of fun, safety, and performance.

The new exhaust system has a distinctive sound that follows you through every corner, while the engine’s responsiveness helps you learn, improve, and push your limits.

CHASSIS
Agile in the city, precise everywhere

The XM 50 Performance features a CrMo steel perimeter frame — strong yet light — paired with Fantic suspension: an Ø41 mm USD fork and a rear shock absorber with progressive linkage.

The riding feeling is immediate and exciting. Wave disc brakes ensure power and modulation, while the 6-spoke alloy wheels add lightness and responsiveness. A daily rider with a sporty spirit.

ERGONOMICS
Ergonomics designed for maximum comfort

The XM 50 Performance has been ergonomically optimised to offer comfort and control, even for younger riders. The new seat provides better support and can be adjusted in height by up to -30 mm to suit every rider.

The handlebar setup, seat-footpeg triangle, and compact dimensions make it easy to ride in any condition — ideal for learning while having fun.

DESIGN
Design inspired by competition

Aggressive lines, racing components, and attention to detail: the XM 50 Performance inherits the styling of its big sisters in the Motard range.

The new LED headlight unit, full LED indicators, redesigned front fender, and updated mask give it a modern, functional, and aggressive look.

Everything is designed to emphasise lightness, enhance visibility, and reinforce its sporty identity.

LED lighting: improved visibility and safety

The entire lighting system has been upgraded with full LED indicators and a rear LED headlamp — a major improvement over the previous version.

50% lighter (-300 g) for improved agility. A more modern and aggressive design that aligns perfectly with the bike’s sporty character. The field of vision has doubled (+200%), offering greater safety and superior visibility in all conditions.
