Rider Profile

Best ForSuited to riders with at least some experience, since the tall seat height and scrambler-style handling reward confidence rather than pure beginner caution.
PurposeBuilt as a stylish scrambler that blends light off-road capability with everyday urban and backroad usability rather than outright speed or serious enduro work.
Rider FitA relatively light, narrow single-cylinder machine that is easy to muscle around at low speed but the tall seat height may challenge shorter riders.
CharacterA characterful, retro-styled machine with a punchy single-cylinder engine that favors torquey low-to-mid range feel and playful handling over outright top-end speed.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for riders wanting high-speed highway touring performance or serious technical off-road capability against dedicated enduro bikes.

2021 Fantic Caballero DeLuxe 500 Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 820mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with balls of both feet on the 2021 Fantic Caballero DeLuxe 500, with a cramped knee angle of around 70 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.
