Fantic XF1 Casa Electric Mountain Bike Review Part 2: Ride & Range Test [VIDEO]

April 7, 2017 By Pete 1 Comment

With their roots in off-road motorcycles Fantic brings their fun and extremely capable XF1 Casa full suspension electric mountain bike to the North American market.

After many miles of testing the Fantic XF1 Casa has proven its ability to handle rough terrain with its 120 mm of front and rear travel and 3″ wide grippy off road tires.

The smooth, quiet, torquey, and efficient Brose mid-drive combined with the velcro like Vittoria tires allows the Fantic XF1 Casa to climb even the most challenging terrain and go the distance for long weekend rides.

The Fantic XF1 Casa has a starting price of $5,490 ($5,790 w/ dropper post) with a quality component selection from Brose, BMZ, RockShox, SRAM, Vittoria, and more.

In this second part of the full review you will get an idea of the ride characteristics, range test results, pros, cons, and overall thoughts on this electric bike. [Read more…]
