Compared to the carbon version of the XTF, the XTF 1.5 is much simpler. The price difference is especially apparent in the cable routing and the shock suspension.

The high-torque Brose motor climbs steep ramps effortlessly. The natural riding feeling combines the Brose Drive S Alu with a dynamic power delivery. Thanks to the good range, longer tours with the XTF 1.5 are no problem.

At a glance

The most importanten ratings of the Fantic XTF 1.5 ⬤ in comparison to the competitor bikes of following categorie: (5000) ⬤.

On rough terrain, the XTF 1.5 with its average Rock Shox chassis lacks bit of control. The average shifting components and accessories leave some tuning potential open. For most e-bikers, this should be an acceptable point. The moderate head tube angle provides a good compromise between stability and agility when going downhill. The reach is also right there in the middle ground. The low bottom bracket height is a party pooper for the handling on the trail. On other bikes, you are more centrally located behind the handlebar. Overall, the geometry does not seem to be up to date anymore. The competition is significantly more modern in this regard.

Value for money

Conclusion

Expirience with the Fantic XTF 1.5

The XTF 1.5 isnt`t a specialist on the trail. Despite a weak chassis and a simple brake system, it remains thanks to a good motor and a great range a solid all-rounder with a wide range of use.
