EURO5 + ROAD COMPLIANT DAKAR MACHINE
This race replica machine is an offbeat option for off-road enthusiasts who are looking for something special. There are two models available: the Rally XEF and Rally XEF Factory - with the latter being limited edition and closer to the official competition bike of the factory race team.
Fantic embraces it's true roots as an off-road motorcycle manufacturer - bringing this Euro5 homologated 450cc motor encased by an aluminium frame which connects to the front and rear wheels via suspension from Kayaba. When it comes to braking, the XEF Rally relies on a 300mm front disc with callipers from Moto Master.
The fuel capacity is complemented by a second tank. In total, the central and side fuel tanks can hold 30 litres.
To help with navigation, the XEF Rally comes with a seven-inch “RallyScreen” which features a plexiglass cover to help protect it from the elements (dust and stones, for example). The RallyScreen is compatible with “any of the navigation apps on the market,” according to Fantic, and can be operated either via the touchscreen or the buttons on the handlebar. Finally, it can be detached from the bike and carried around when needed, even though it powers up and down with the bike (when it is attached).
The Factory Edition:
There will only be 50 made (each will come with its own number tag so its uniquity is verifiable), and it comes with a number of race-focused additions.
Firstly, there is the race-style instrumentation, which Fantic says “features a strong steel and aluminium structure designed to support a professional roadbook and trip master for orientation in any competition.
Further, the radiator is at the front for greater airflow, and the oil filter is enlarged and features an additional tank. The clamps and hubs are made from billet and are CNC-machined, while the rear hub has a sprocket support to soften the engine character.
On the other hand, the exhaust comes from Arrow, and is made of titanium offering a weight reduction of 1.5kg compared to the standard version.
There is also a hydraulic steering damper with a setup designed for long-distance comfort and rideability.
