Overview

Introducing the 2020 Fantic 50M Performance, a spirited contender in the super motard category that perfectly blends Italian flair with exhilarating performance. This lightweight machine, often referred to as the Fantic 50 Enduro Performance, is designed for riders who crave a nimble, agile experience on both urban streets and winding backroads. With its striking color options—Red/White/Blue and Black/White/Yellow—this motorcycle is not only a treat for the senses but also a testament to Fantic's commitment to heritage and performance. At the heart of the Fantic 50M Performance lies a robust 48.90 cc single-cylinder, two-stroke engine that delivers an electrifying ride. With a bore and stroke of 40.3 x 39.0 mm, this powerplant excels in providing quick throttle response and an engaging character that two-stroke enthusiasts adore. The DellOrtoø16 carburettor and electronic ignition ensure optimal fuel delivery and spark timing, enhancing the overall rideability. Coupled with a smooth 6-speed gearbox and a lightweight chain final drive, the Fantic 50M offers a thrilling experience whether you're darting through city traffic or carving corners on a twisty mountain road. The liquid cooling system keeps the engine operating optimally, ensuring reliability during spirited rides. The chassis of the Fantic 50M Performance is built on a sturdy perimeter steel CrMo frame, designed to handle the demands of aggressive riding. The USD front suspension, with a diameter of 41 mm, provides excellent front-end feedback, while the rear is supported by the Fantic FRS 50 single shock, delivering a balanced ride. The wave disc brakes—260 mm at the front and 220 mm at the rear—ensure precise stopping power, instilling confidence in the rider. Weighing in at just 85 kg (187.4 lbs), the motorcycle's agile handling is complemented by a seat height of 870 mm (34.3 inches), making it approachable for riders of various sizes. Additionally, the removable steel subframe allows for customization and easy maintenance, reflecting Fantic's dedication to practicality and performance. **
