Fantic Motor recently announced that it is bringing its XEF 250 TL four-stroke to the U.S. market (read about it HERE).
The XEF 250 TL is a trail and enduro bike that shares components with Fantic’s racing models. Fantic Motor USA says that it is the “ultimate racing starter for enduro trails suitable for all ages and levels of riders.”
It has a 250cc four-stroke liquid-cooled engine with electronic fuel injection and a brand-new ECU. It is equipped with an Arrow exhaust and silencer.
Front suspension is handled by a 43mm Fantic FRS USD racing-derived fork in red and rear suspension has a Fantic FRS piggyback monoshock with preload and hydraulic adjustability.
The CrMo steel perimeter frame has new reinforcements to optimize rigidity, and the aluminum swingarm has a removable rear frame. The four-stroke has CNC-machined triple clamps and the rear brake master cylinder has anodized protection. Enduro tires (90/90×21 and 120/90×18) are mounted on aluminum rims, and the wave-type disc brakes are 260mm on the front and 220mm at the rear.
The brake lever has adjustable reach, and the XEF comes standard with handguards and a front mask over the full-LED headlight.
It has a price of $6499 and the 2025 Fantic XEF 250 TL is expected to be in dealers in late May, early June 2025.
