A real dream. In the hands of Jaime Subirá, Fantic rider and developer of the brand at the time, he knows the Fantic Trial 240 perfectly, so with his ingenuity and the adaptation of more modern components, he manages to create unique pieces, such as this anthracite Fantic Trial 240.
It all starts with a digitized image in Photoshop. To the customer’s taste, which defines the level of technical preparation and customization. In this case, our protagonist has a very high level of preparation, as you can see in the photos. Let’s see what secrets it holds.
FANTIC TRIAL PREPARATION 240 ANTHRACITE
Modified chassis at the level of the steering launch angle. The running boards and the position of the rear shock absorbers have also been repositioned, both on the chassis and swingarm.
The rear brake calipers on the swingarm have also been modified.
The suspensions have been developed in collaboration with Andrerani MHS, incorporating modern cartridges that, together with interior modifications, are fitted to the standard fork (modern fork behaviour in classic look is achieved).
At the rear, by modifying the position of the footpegs , we have developed specific shock absorbers for this purpose.
The brakes are completely modified, working on more than 20 points modified compared to the standard brakes. The jaws are also made of a special material.
As for the mechanics, it has been completely redone inside, modifying the compression according to the level of the client.
The clutch system is also completely new and tailor-made for the customer, looking for touch and smoothness in this case.
The entire exhaust has also been modified to gain responsiveness at low revs. Both the exhaust and the muffler have been handmade in Subirá.
More changes to its mechanics. Variable inertia , an invented and patented inertia system that expands with the turns, achieving a bike that is more agile in low gear and with more inertia in high altitudes, which help to climb obstacles.
A preparation of these characteristics has an approximate value of €10,000, apart from the price of the bike itself. An exclusive value for a one-of-a-kind collector’s item.
