Il Italian Motorally championship is now upon us and Fantic confirms its official presence in all the appointments on the calendar, with the XEF Rally, included in the F-Marathon class reserved for Dakarian/Long Range-inspired bikes.
We will be there too, with our Andrea Perfetti (fresh from testing the XEF 450 Rally with which he will race in the championship) and, directly from the Dakar 2023, Tiziano Internò will be a special Ambassadorrepresentative of the House in all appointments.
The first stage, which will be held from 30 March to 2 April 2023 in Riotorto (LI) will have another surprise from sapore Dakariano: the presence of 5 well-known Italian pilots riding Fantic XEF 450 Rally or Cesare Zacchetti, Iader Giraldi, Ottavio Missoni, Francesco Catanese and Gianni Stigliano.
The paddock will also be delighted by the presence under the Fantic tent Franco Piccowho will help the Fantic team during the race weekend.
The new Fantic XEF Rally it is a product of the direct experience of Fantic Racing in the Dakar and the Cross-Country world championship and in fact will participate in the production version, the same that every customer can find in Fantic dealers Italians and Europeans.
The bike is already 100% Race Ready: absolute preview is the 7” touchscreen that supports digital roadbook. In fact, for the first time, a production bike gathers in a single instrument Roadbook complete with trip master, odometer and even CAP, all of which can also be operated via the Racing pushbutton panel on the handlebar.
The large front-central tank of 30 liters in total allows you to easily finish a day of competition without refueling, protected like the mechanics by a very sturdy 5mm carbon-kevlar plate.
Fantic will offer its customers registered in the championship a Kit complete with post-race clothing and above all the possibility of sharing the official hospitality registered Fantic. An assistance service will also be available on request through Fantic dealers.
Among the other Fantic news, at the Italian Motorally 2023, we will also observe with great interest in the D-450 “queen” class racing the Enduro world champion Alex Salvini and the young French promise Jérémy Miroir both riding the Fantic XEF450 from Enduro.
