FANTIC CABALLERO 500 SCRAMBLER red 2025 - 2026

MM 460 DOHC engine - The Italian heart of MY25

Following the success of the MM300FI engine, Fantic presents a new Italian engineering masterpiece: the MM 460 DOHC engine, entirely designed, developed and assembled in Italy. This 460 cc unit marks a total evolution in performance, weight and technology, while maintaining the authentic character of the Caballero.
