Fantic XTF 1.5 Sport Review

Steep ramps are no problem for the high-torque Brose motor. Additionally, the Brose Drive S Alu stands out with a natural riding feeling and a progressive power delivery. Fans of XXL tours are greatly restricted by the XTF 1.5 Sport with only an average range.

The Rock Shox chassis provides safety and traction, even when the trail gets rougher. However, it comes to its limit at high speed. At the brakes, Fantic middle class four pistons brakes by SRAM are used. The average shifting components and accessories leave some tuning potential open. For most e-bikers, this should be an acceptable point. When it comes to the geometry, Fantic does not go completely crazy. The head tube angle and reach values were chosen with care. The result: A balanced riding behaviour with a good combination of playfulness and straight-line stability. The low bottom bracket height will likely be a sticking point for trail riders, as it negatively affects handling. Overall, the geometry does not seem to be up to date anymore. The competition is significantly more modern in this regard.
