Fantic XM 50 Supermotard – General Information
The Fantic XM 50 Motard is the modern interpretation of the supermotard concept in the 50cc class. Since its introduction in 2021, this Italian moped, often simply called the Fantic Motard 50, has established itself as a staple in its category through targeted technical updates. The current model range offers two variants: Performance for those looking for an agile and practical bike, and Competition for riders who value genuine racing components. Both models use the technical basis of the Fantic 125cc frame, making them extremely compact and easy to handle.
Fantic XM 50 Motard – Performance vs. Competition
Performance Version (Entry-level Supermoto Model)
The Performance version is the balanced choice if you are looking for a versatile and modern geared moped with genuine racing character that is easy to ride. It offers a solid technical foundation with a focus on everyday usability and a sporty look. The installed components are of proven quality even in the standard series version.
Competition Version (Pure Racing DNA)
A look that stands out: 28 mm handlebar, handguards, black tuning silencer, and red anodized details. The XM 50 Competition looks like a real racing machine. It is aimed at ambitious riders who expect racing components at the highest level. Specifications and features come directly from Fantic Racing's experience. The rear FANTIC FRS 125 Piggyback shock absorber is fully adjustable in preload and rebound, allowing you to perfectly tune the chassis to your weight and riding style. The red anodized Fantic parts (brake cylinder cover, guards fur rear brake cylinder, handlebar, and fork) provide an aggressive look clearly focused on performance.
