According to Fantic Motorcycles
GO FAST TURN LEFT… REPEAT This exciting “alternative” way of riding a motorcycle comes straight from the US dirt tracks. This is in fact the very first production flat track inspired motorcycle with 19” street legal dirt wheels, front and rear. The Caballero Flat Track is born to give you a sideways view of life. Flat Track is a very simple style of racing. Jest keep turning left, lap after lap and challenge yourself to achieve the best lap time. Then toss in the mix other riders and the fun begins. Full gas on the straightaway, bend the bike sideways in the corners, keep the maximum speed possible and be fearless
The Fantic Caballero Flat Track 500 is designed to give an adrenaline rush to every move you make. The 19″ wheels, a characteristic of the Flat Track discipline, provide greater stability and control in turns, ensuring speed and control. Let your personality take over and let the breeze of your dreams carry you away.
The single-cylinder, 4-valve, liquid-cooled, electronic fuel injection engine is now Euro 5 compliant. It provides a great performance on the asphalt, combined with efficiency on off-road tracks. The ECU control unit has an updated mapping, ensuring an even smoother engine power at all RPMs and also optimising performance in terms of maximum power and torque. The exhaust system is made in Italy by Arrow with twin chrome silencers.
The Caballero Flat Track 500 is characterised by a Chrome-molybdenum steel central-tube frame which favours lightness once again, ensuring incredible agility and comfort. The front forks are 41mm upside-down FANTIC FRS, the rear suspension is an adjustable FANTIC FRS. The main feature of Flat Track bikes and this Caballero are the 19″ wheels mounted on both the front and rear. This feature provides greater stability and control sideways. On the asphalt and in everyday use, safety is also enhanced in both wet and dry conditions. The 320mm front and 230mm rear wave brake discs, and the disengageable dual-channel Continental ABS make it even easier to use on the track.
Iconic design, with the same “Caballero” badge on the tank to that of forty years ago. The side number boards display the number 19 (a reference to the characteristic size of the Flat Track wheels). In addition to the matt black colour, the new model year 2021 adds another colour, a new silver to match the darker metallic grey and matt black colouring on the side panels and mudguards.
