Fantic have revealed an all-new 125cc naked as they look to expand their range of motorcycles. Revealed at the 2023 Eicma show, it’s called the Stealth 125 and promises a blend of technology and agility with mini-streetfighter looks. It’s A2 compliant too, making Fantic the only company to design and produce an A2 category vehicle in Italy.
Underneath its aggressive looks, the Stealth has been designed to offer as much enjoyment on the road as possible. Fantic engineers have worked hard on centralising mass, so the fuel tank is as close to the CoG as possible and the airbox is positioned for optimum airflow.
The exhaust system has also been arranged in a way that maximises agility: Fantic have divided it into two parts with the light silencer left up top, and the heavier catalytic converter and other bits housed in the lowest possible area of the bike.
It also sits in an aluminium-steel trellis frame, which Fantic have optimised for lightness. In addition to the frame, the Stealth also gets an aluminium swingarm – again to cut down on weight.
Fantic have also focused on technology, so the Stealth gets an impressive 5-inch TFT screen, along with LED headlights and optional ABS cornering and traction control.
What about the Imola Concept?
The Stealth 125cc has been designed for on the road enjoyment, but Fantic have maximised the performance of their new engine and chassis in a separate sports bike called the Imola Concept.
Featuring most of the running gear of the Stealth but with a streamlined fairing, the racier Imola Concept was revealed alongside the Stealth 125 at Eicma, and hints at the “new roads that will soon be followed by other models in the range.”
