Updated on Nov. 5, 2026 in Motorcycles
Fantic Motor has unveiled the Caballero 500 Supermoto for 2027, a version of the Caballero 500 Scrambler fitted with street tires. The model is expected to reach the European market in spring.
Why it matters
The model adds a street-oriented supermoto option to Fantic's Caballero lineup, giving riders a lightweight, road-focused machine built on an existing platform. Its planned European launch reflects the brand's focus on that market.
The 463cc engine produces 45 horsepower, complies with A2 licensing norms, and drives the bike at 330.69 pounds with a 33.85-inch seat height. Suspension offers 7.87 inches of travel at each end, with a 43mm USD fork and 320mm front disc brake.
The players
Fantic Motor
Fantic Motor is an Italian motorcycle manufacturer known for off-road and dual-sport models, including the Caballero line.
The details
The bike was created by modifying a Caballero 500 Scrambler, swapping in street tires on 19/17-inch spoke wheels. It uses a Motori Minarelli MM460 engine with dual overhead cams, a slipper clutch, ride-by-wire throttle with engine maps, and a six-axis IMU enabling lean-sensitive traction control and switchable ABS.

Spring: The model is expected in the European market.
Roadmap
The Caballero 500 Supermoto extends the existing Caballero 500 Scrambler by reworking that platform for street use. It signals Fantic's continued expansion of the Caballero range within the mid-displacement A2-compliant segment.
The A2-compliant 45-horsepower engine makes the bike accessible to riders with that license category in Europe. Riders interested in the model should watch for pricing and dealer availability ahead of the spring European launch.
The takeaway
Buyers weighing a supermoto should compare the Caballero 500 Supermoto's weight, seat height and A2-compliant output against their license and riding goals before the spring launch.
