Rider Profile

Best ForThis bike suits newer or licence-restricted riders as well as experienced riders wanting a light, playful commuter, thanks to its small-capacity single-cylinder engine and low dry weight.
PurposeIt's built as a supermoto-styled streetbike, best suited to darting through city traffic and having fun on twisty backroads rather than covering long distances quickly.
Rider FitThe low dry weight of around 97 kg and a seat height near 860mm make it easy to manage for shorter or less physically strong riders, though the tall-ish seat may still challenge very short riders.
CharacterIt has a light, flickable, go-kart-like character with supermoto-derived handling, wave brake discs, and a punchy small-displacement single that rewards revving over outright power.
Not Ideal ForIt is not a good choice for riders wanting sustained high-speed motorway travel, long-distance touring comfort, or carrying a passenger over any real distance.

2016 Fantic Caballero 125M Performance Rider Ergonomics Assessment

Calculated in your browser only - your height/inseam are never sent to our servers.

Feet:

At 860mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with tip-toe one foot on the 2016 Fantic Caballero 125M Performance, with a relaxed knee angle of around 130 degrees and a forward-leaning riding position.

Data quality: measured. Assumes about 30mm of suspension sag once seated (a typical street-bike rule of thumb - stiffer or softer suspension will vary). This is an approximation from category-typical geometry and generic body proportions, not a measurement of this specific bike or you - sit on it before you buy.
