XTF 1.5 2022

The 2022 Fantic XTF 1.5 was the alloy entry point into the Italian brand's XTF trail range, built on a hydroformed aluminium frame with 150mm of travel front and rear via Fantic's full-float linkage-driven single-pivot rear end. It rolled on 29in wheels at both ends and was offered in three sizes (S, M, L).

Power came from a Fantic-rebadged Brose mid-drive, listed on the page as Brose ALU 36 Volt, 250W and 90Nm, fed by an integrated 630Wh Fantic Integra battery and controlled through the Brose All Round 4 display. The build is deliberately utilitarian: a RockShox Recon Silver RL fork and Deluxe Select air shock, a full SRAM SX Eagle 12-speed transmission, SRAM Level 2-piston brakes on 200mm front / 180mm rear CenterLine rotors, and chunky Schwalbe Smart Sam 29 x 2.6in tyres on Rodi BlackJack rims, finished with a Promax cockpit and dropper post.

Geometry is moderate trail rather than aggressive enduro, with a 66 to 66.5 degree head angle, a 73 degree seat angle and reach growing from 407mm (S) to 453mm (L). Within the wider 2022 XTF 1.5 line it sat below the higher-specced alloy XTF 1.5 Sport and the four separate carbon models (Carbon, Carbon Sport, Carbon Race and Carbon Factory), positioning itself as the value-focused, mid-power alloy trail option.

This model year is discontinued. No verified owner ride or reliability data is available for this specific build, so no such claims are made here; specifications are taken from the archived 2022 manufacturer page and cross-checked against an independent geometry database.
