Fantic XMF 1.7 2023

From £4,999

The 2023 Fantic XMF 1.7 was the aluminium, full-power member of Fantic's all-mountain XMF line. It ran a mullet wheel layout (29in front, 27.5in rear) with 170mm of travel at both ends, a slack 65-degree head angle and a 73-degree seat angle, which is firmly enduro-leaning geometry for a bike Fantic still pitched as a trail-handling all-rounder.Power came from the Brose-based Fantic full-power unit, a Brose S-MAG rated at 90Nm and 250W nominal, fed by an integrated 720Wh battery for genuinely long-day range. The single Sport build paired a RockShox Domain-R fork and Deluxe Select+ shock with a SRAM NX Eagle 12-speed drivetrain, four-piston SRAM Guide T brakes on 220/203mm rotors, Fulcrum E-700 wheels and Vittoria E-Martello tyres, a sensible, hard-wearing all-mountain kit rather than a boutique parts list.It was offered in three sizes (S, M, L) with reach from 425 to 480mm. This is a discontinued 2023 model; Fantic has since moved the XMF on to the newer Integra-era platforms, so availability is now limited to remaining dealer stock and the used market. UK pricing was around £4,999 RRP for the Sport.

Geometry read

What the numbers mean on the trail

Computed from this bike's geometry, spec and build kit — reach, wheelbase, chainstay, head and seat angles, travel, motor, weight and the fork/tyre/brake spec — and worked out per size, because a fixed chainstay can make an S and an XL feel very different.

Size

Descending

A solid all-round descender (65.5° head angle, 170mm) — capable in the rough and steep without being an all-out bruiser.

Playfulness

More planted than poppy — better on steep terrain than tight, fiddly singletrack.

Size balance

Rear-long with a planted front in L (FC:RC 1.77) — easy to weight the front and quick to turn, though it can feel light at the back at real speed.

Technical climbing

Climbs well — a 73° seat keeps the front planted. 560W of peak power and 90Nm of torque — a strong full-power motor.

Best suited toAll-round trail riding across mixed terrain.

No single standout trait — a balanced, versatile bike.

Watch out forNot a flickable, playful bike — built to plough, not pop.

Brilliant on fast, rough, steep terrain; less fun on tight, mellow trails.

⚙️ Adjustable geometry: this frame has a high/low setting — low drops the BB and slackens the head angle for more descending stability; high lifts the BB and steepens slightly for clearance and a perkier, more playful feel.
