Fantic Racing’s vision for the future focuses on further enhancing the brand’s key strengths: its off-road DNA, the constant pursuit of maximum performance and a strong commitment to nurturing the next generation of racing talent.

Motocross

For the 2027 season, the Motocross programme will be built around the Fantic Factory Racing EMX team, managed by Daniele Marchese. Leading the line-up once again will be Bertram Thorius, the 16-year-old Danish talent who has already secured an EMX125 race win and three podium finishes. He will be joined by two young riders in the official team. In addition, Fantic will extend its support to riders and teams outside the factory set-up, with the aim of strengthening the brand’s presence across European and national youth competitions.

This strategic approach reflects a long-term vision, and leaves the door open to a potential return to the World Championship in the years ahead. Alongside the racing schedule, Fantic will continue its in-house development programme, focusing not only on the XX 125 with its dedicated racing kit, but also on the XXF 450 and the brand-new XXF 250.

Enduro

The Enduro programme will continue to build on the success of the XE 300, which recently claimed the French E3 Championship title. A new team structure will take the project forward in the E3 World Championship, as well as in the Junior and Youth classes. The Fantic Factory Racing Enduro team will be led by Enrico Garelli and the MGR team, with a new line-up of young and talented riders.

24-year-old Australian Kyron Bacon will contest the E3 class aboard the Fantic XE 300. Valentin Mersin, the 2026 Youth Vice World Champion, will step up to the Junior 2 category on the Fantic XEF 310, while Chilean rookie Cristobal Huerta will take on the 125cc class.
