Fantic Motor recently announced that it is bringing its XE 300 two-stroke to the U.S. market (read about it HERE).
The 2025 Fantic XE 300 2T has a Minarelli-built 300cc two-stroke engine with a dual-injector electronic fuel injection system and an electronic exhaust valve, which Fantic says can offer “a full and vigorous torque curve at all rpm.”
It has an electric start, also designed by Minarelli, a hydraulic clutch, and an aluminum semi-double cradle frame. Fantic says it is designed with an easy-access air filter, fully adjustable Kayaba suspension is front and rear, with 11.8 inches travel at the front and 12.4 inches at the back.
Electronics include LED lights, multi-level traction control and a dual mapping (hard/soft) switch that are accessed via a switchbox on the the left handlebar (the starter button and kill switch are on the righthand side).
MSRP is listed at $11,599 and the 2025 Fantic XE 300 2T is expected to be in dealers in late May, early June 2025.
