New Fantic Stealth 500 model details, with links to new and used dealer listings and latest Fantic deals

The new Stealth 500 is the flagship of the Stealth family: a sporty naked bike created for those seeking pure adrenaline, advanced technology, and the freedom to have fun. Powerful yet surprisingly light, designed and built in Italy, it combines the precision of track-born motorcycles with the versatility of a perfect everyday companion.

With its payoff “DARE TO PLAY?”, the Stealth 500 invites riders to rediscover the authentic pleasure of riding: instinct, speed, and uncompromising fun.

ENGINE & TECHNOLOGY

POWER AND INNOVATION

At the heart of the Stealth 500 beats the new MM460, the same engine used on the Caballero but optimized for a sportier and more road-focused riding experience.

It is a Euro 5+ 4-stroke single-cylinder 463 cc engine, liquid-cooled, DOHC with 4 valves, equipped with electronic fuel injection and a 46 mm Ride-by-Wire throttle body. The response is immediate, linear, and always under control. The 6-speed gearbox works in harmony with the slipper clutch, ensuring smooth downshifts even when riding becomes more aggressive.

The Stealth 500 also offers four Riding Modes:

Street – the perfect balance for everyday use

Rain – maximum safety on wet surfaces

Track – the most direct, free, and sporty mode

Custom – fully customizable by the rider

Each mode automatically adjusts Traction Control, Cornering ABS, and engine mapping to deliver optimal performance in any condition.

RACING EXHAUST

The full exhaust system is made of brushed stainless steel and features a high-mounted silencer, a detail that clearly reflects racing inspiration and style.

5” TFT DISPLAY & USB-C TYPE PORT

The Stealth 500 is equipped with a modern and technologically advanced 5-inch TFT display, offering a clear and intuitive interface for the rider.

Near the fuel tank, under the steering head, there is also a USB-C port for charging other devices such as your cell phone.

CHASSIS

Three key concepts shaped the design of the Stealth: lightness (with a strong focus on the frame, swingarm, and wheels), rigidity, and mass centralization.

INNOVATIVE FRAME

For uncompromising performance. For the first time in the category, a mixed frame is introduced — a true revolution in the segment. It combines a steel trellis structure with a forged aluminum plate, offering both stability and lightness. The perfectly coordinated interaction between frame and swingarm ensures optimal torsional rigidity for precise and comfortable riding, effectively absorbing bumps on uneven roads while delivering great agility and accuracy on mixed and fast sections.

ALUMINUM SWINGARM

The swingarm, made entirely of aluminum, features a lower reinforcing truss that maximizes structural rigidity without increasing the vehicle’s overall weight. This advanced design ensures greater precision in transferring forces between the rear wheel and the frame, improving traction and stability during acceleration.

TECHNOLOGY AT THE SERVICE OF DRIVING

SUSPENSION

The front suspension features a 41 mm upside-down (USD) fork, combining robustness, precision, and versatility. The fork bottoms have a sporty look inspired by racing machines and ensure a very lightweight front end. The rear suspension, adjustable in spring preload, provides comfort and customization, allowing the rider to adapt spring stiffness to their own weight.

HIGH-PERFORMANCE BRAKING SYSTEM

A motorcycle engineered with lightness in mind from every component, from the frame down to the smallest bolt. The enlarged 320 mm ByBre front disc with radial caliper and the 230 mm rear disc deliver extremely powerful yet easily modulable braking. Cornering ABS comes standard, with a dual independent channel and rear deactivation option. This ensures maximum safety even when leaning, reducing the risk of losing grip and shortening braking distances in corners.

PIRELLI-ENGINEERED GRIP

Pirelli Diablo Rosso IV tyres, 150 mm at the rear and 110 mm at the front, deliver outstanding performance thanks to exceptional grip and optimal adhesion on both dry and wet surfaces. The 150 mm rear width ensures a larger contact patch, improving traction and stability in demanding corners. The Diablo Rosso IV range represents the excellence of sport tyres for road use.

BALANCE & COMFORT

PERFECT BALANCE

Every component is positioned to optimize balance, control, stability, and comfort, whether during sporty riding or daily use. The fuel tank is located close to the motorcycle’s center of gravity, ensuring even weight distribution. The exhaust system follows the same principle: the high-mounted silencer reduces weight impact without compromising lightness, aesthetics, or performance, while the low-positioned expansion chamber lowers the center of gravity, improving stability and traction, especially during acceleration and cornering.

TAILORED COMFORT FOR EVERY RIDER

To ensure the best riding experience, the bike is equipped with adjustable brake and clutch levers, as well as brake and gear pedals with two adaptable positions. These features allow a fully customizable setup, designed to meet the needs of every rider and ensure optimal comfort and control in any situation.

ERGONOMICS

LIGHTNESS THAT MAKES THE DIFFERENCE

The Stealth 500 is the lightest 500-class naked bike, weighing only 147 kg dry. This feature defines its personality: agile, easy to handle, and capable of turning every corner into an invitation to push a little harder. The motorcycle is engineered with weight reduction in mind in every component, from the frame to the last bolt. Perfect for tight curves, traffic, or long rides, it delivers a unique riding experience for passionate motorcyclists and lovers of freedom on two wheels.

COMPACT

With a seat height of 810 mm, weight distribution, and a wheelbase of 1368 mm, the Stealth 500 offers the perfect balance between control and freedom of movement.The 12-liter fuel tank keeps the bike slim between the legs, while the riding position combines comfort and responsiveness: relaxed enough for daily use, sporty enough to feel every curve.

DESIGN

SPORTY AND STRIKING STYLE

The single-seat configuration, achieved by removing the passenger seat and footpegs, gives the bike a sporty and striking design. Attention to detail, reduced weight, and optimal mass distribution make it ideal for those seeking exclusivity and performance. With an aggressive look and more agile, responsive handling, it becomes the perfect companion for sporty riders.

ADVANCED LIGHTING FOR EVERY ADVENTURE

The bike stands out for its dual-lens Full LED headlights for both low and high beams, combining lighting efficiency with a modern design. This advanced technology ensures excellent visibility in any situation while giving the bike a distinctive, futuristic look. Ideal for explorations or daily commutes, the Full LED lights make every ride unique. The front and rear indicators also use LED technology, ensuring faster illumination, lower energy consumption, and a modern look consistent with the bike’s design.

FANTIC IDENTITY WITH BOLD STYLE

The new graphics enhance the bike’s shape and sporty DNA:

Racing White – elegant, assertive, with red details

Acid Green – modern, urban, with strong streetfighter character

Red and Yellow – the historic colors that complete the range
