Fantic XTF 1.6 Carbon Sport Review

No matter how steep or technical the climb is: the high torque Brose motor makes it conquerable! At the same time, the drive provides a well-rounded feeling while riding with a dynamic power delivery. Whoever enjoys longer tours will be pleased with the good range.

Rough descents take away some of the fear thanks to the average chassis. Bad brakes reduce the riding pleasure. Fortunately, this is not the case with the XTF 1.6 Carbon Sport. With their four pistons the SRAM brake brakes good. The narrow #reifen_inch_breite Pirelli tires do not do this All Mountains range of use any justice. In our opinion, Fantic has saved weight in the wrong place here. The drivetrain and components have a subordinate but not to be neglected importance when it comes to EMTB. Even the bike brand product managers know this and don't aim too high with mostly average components. 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 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.
