Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to riders with at least some two-stroke and lightweight-bike experience, since the peaky mini-moto engine and tall seat height reward confident, active riding.
PurposeBuilt as a pocket-sized supermoto for sharp, playful cornering on tight tracks and twisty backroads rather than outright speed or distance covered.
Rider FitIts very low dry weight and slim chassis make it easy to flick around and manage at low speeds, but the tall 875mm seat height demands decent leg length or confidence balancing on tiptoes.
CharacterA high-revving, punchy two-stroke supermoto character that thrives on aggressive throttle inputs, quick direction changes, and being thrown into corners with enthusiasm.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for riders wanting comfortable long-distance touring, passenger carrying, or a low-maintenance daily commuter, since two-stroke upkeep and minimal wind protection work against those uses.

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

Feet:

At 875mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with tip-toe one foot on the 2023 Fantic XM 50 Competition, with a relaxed knee angle of around 135 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.
