Fantic 1.7 Review

Upgrades in the description.

[@antn8387]

I just picked up a XF1 180 for my first e-mtb.

[@OtterMTBtech]

Let me know how it rides

[@chriswiles87]

There seems to be limited information available in English about this particular brand. It appears to be quite impressive, and I would be interested in a comparative analysis against other leading bike brands such as the Orbea Wild, Pivot Shuttle, Fezzari Timp Peak, and Specialized Turbo Levo.

[@OtterMTBtech]

I would make that video, but no one cares about the Fantic. Just like Italian cars, the bike is one of a kind, think about Specialized is being Toyota the best, the simplest most reliable. The Fantic check would be like a Maserati, character style, rides/drive like pillow , but quite a few mechanical issues down the line.

@@OtterMTBtech hahaha, I got rid of me ride cause I barely rode it

Only 2 years warranty

[@OtterMTBtech]

Entire bike? I never got details

@@OtterMTBtech The frame is definitely 2 years, which is not good nowadays, and this is common mostly with Italian Brands

[@OtterMTBtech]

Thanks for info 😎. So to add to this video. The bike is plagued with loose bolts every ride

[@xtr1092]

get tha ally one not carbon , it feels much more solid

[@OtterMTBtech]

I like the flex is that one soft on hands?

@@OtterMTBtech i only ride off road really but i ride it on a 30 mile ride and im fine, its a very well set up bike, but then i remember fantic from 30 plus yrs ago i used to ride trials when i was young, so they have plenty of exp in geometry

[@xtr1092]

@@OtterMTBtech also my ally frame has flex, i just know several people who had carbon mtb and they all split or broke, where as ive still got my marin tdh maded of ally from 1998 and done so many mountains and bike tracks its still good. so ally all the way for me, but then i may be bias as i am a metal fabricator
