Fantic XTF 1.5 2023

From £4,399

The 2023 Fantic XTF 1.5 was the entry point into the Italian brand's full-suspension trail line, built around a hydroformed aluminium frame with 150mm of travel front and rear via Fantic's full-float linkage-driven single-pivot rear end. Power came from a Fantic-branded Brose mid-drive rated at 90Nm, fed by an integrated 630Wh Fantic Integra battery and controlled through the Brose All Round 4 display.The build is sensibly utilitarian rather than flashy: a RockShox Recon Silver RL fork and Deluxe Select air shock, SRAM SX Eagle 12-speed shifting, SRAM Level 2-piston brakes on 200/180mm rotors, and Schwalbe Smart Sam 2.4in tyres on Rodi BlackJack rims. It was offered in three sizes (S, M, L) with a relaxed 66 to 66.5 degree head angle and a 73 degree seat angle.UK pricing was set at GBP 4,399, sitting it below the higher-specced XTF 1.5 Race and the Brose-powered XTF 1.5 Carbon, as well as the Yamaha-powered All Track and Sport-Y variants in the same family. As an alloy, mid-power trail platform it prioritised value and approachability over light weight or premium kit.This model year is discontinued; Fantic has since moved the range onto the Shopify-based current catalogue and revised the XTF 1.5 in later years. Specifications here are taken from the archived 2023 manufacturer page and a UK Fantic dealer listing.

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 (66.5° head angle, 150mm) — capable in the rough and steep without being an all-out bruiser.

Playfulness

A fair bit of pop, but happiest on flowing trail rather than trials moves.

Size balance

Not enough geometry on record to judge size balance.

Technical climbing

A workmanlike climber — expect to put in more rider effort on the steep stuff. 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 forClimbing leans on the rider more than the motor.

Lower torque or a slacker seat angle — fine, just don't expect a winch.
