Rider Profile

Best ForSuits riders with at least some prior motorcycling experience who want a light, flickable single that rewards confident throttle and brake control rather than outright power.
PurposeBest suited to mixed urban riding, twisty backroads, and light gravel or scrambler-style outings rather than long-distance touring or dedicated off-roading.
Rider FitA relatively low dry weight and accessible seat height make it manageable for most body sizes, though the tall-ish seat and firm suspension travel favor riders of average to above-average height.
CharacterA stylish flat-track-inspired scrambler with a punchy single-cylinder engine, upside-down forks, and spoked wheels that blend retro looks with genuinely capable modern handling.
Not Ideal ForNot the right choice for riders wanting high-speed motorway touring, heavy passenger and luggage carrying, or serious technical off-road adventure riding.

2022 Fantic Caballero Flat Track 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 2022 Fantic Caballero Flat Track 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.
