I can hear the Excitement in your voice about the bike. Happy for you morgan enjoy it. Keep healing up so can rip sooner than later. Honestly the bike keeps sounding better. 🤘
That motor sounds awesome! I’m 6’3” and that chassis is good for bigger people! I live in Oklahoma and that bike would be awesome for CC and Vet moto! Tempting. Lol
When they first listed all the custom components on those things I thought they would were gonna be like 20k. Hopefully with all the interest you and Cody are creating right now it could be enough to get Yamaha fired up. You could be changing the future of dirtbiking Morgan!
I’m watching all the videos because it’s more interesting than any other off-road bike content right now. Kinda cool to see how far they have gone trying to adapt a 20 yo mx bike for enduro. I’m sure there is a market for something like that in North America
I've ridden various KTM 300xc since '08 until current '23 300xc with a brief period in '17 on a YZ250 as a divorce recovery bike. Only complaint was handling on trail. All my KTMs feel more planted and overall easier to ride on technical trail. Sand whoops and Moto the YZ shined though. Not what I normally do. Modernize that YZ chassis geometry and it will get popular.
Great to see this kind of original content. It's a bit of a risk buying a new brand like this but it's probably the best thing you could have done as far as generating interest and growing the channel. Kudos to you for doing something different while other big channels keep "reviewing" the same KTM over and over.
@@rztrztthe Fantic is interesting and I’d love to try one but honestly not something I’d consider buying as I’m not really a fan of the YZ chassis to begin with. Maybe once I ride one I’ll feel differently.
It’ll be cool to see how the 25’ Fantic compares with the 25’ Rieju fuel injection when that comes out. Think the Rieju will have the same frame as previous but loses the back up kickstarter but gains a counter balancer. Interesting times ahead.
It’s priced near what you can get a KTM for. Maybe even more depending on the deals that are currently happening. If it were under 10k, I feel that bike would gain traction. It’s going to be tough for them given where it’s priced. I say this has someone with over 300 hours on my Rieju 300 pro.
Riding slow like the rest of us guys says the guy with a neutral light on his bike haha, I think the black tank looks much better than a clear one as they start look dingy and old in no time, that was the only time you will be passing Thomas unless he is stopped, thanks for all the great content on the Fantic.
Man, going into a ridge trail where you can pinch your recovering finger/hand so easily?... Not sure it is the wisest way to comeback. Keep it safe, mate! Best wishes!
Nice ride for an injured hand still…👍 a little tip with your gas tank breather hose. Don’t put it down the head set hole 🕳️ that’s a good way to ruin your bearing a lot faster. 🤷🏼♂️
I'd like an explanation for that one. The bolt that goes through the bearing is a tube that goes out the bottom... how does vapors get to the bearings?
Damn right I don't ride fast .😎..I don't race and I don't care about racing, me and the Crew are out to have fun and enjoy the technical terrain.. Then go back to work on Monday in one piece so we can by more bike stuff and Highland Cycle stickers 🤣
I wouldn't change the silencer if I would I believe they have a carbon fiber one with the same shape because that shape is pretty cool that comes on it
I've been doing 105km (65miles)/ tank so far. And that is "high pace" at least for me, in the Dutch sand... 80miles trail riding in hard pack should not be an issue
Question I haven’t heard yet does it have a safety when you push the start.or like the KTM it will just let you go off the cliff .my Yamaha wouldn’t start a four stroke that is unless you pull the clutch
@@highlandcycles My dirt riding experience is almost nil on motorcycle. I used to have a 660 Raptor quad, been a while. Otherwise I'm a road rider, naked sportsbikes and such. 70hp to 150 hp. Sampled crazy stuff here and there, superbikes to Hayabusa, also scooters to cruisers. Dakar is awesome. I've seen a good bit of old footage from those times. Also some late Baja stuff with twin cylinder ADV bikes or big 450 Enduro bikes. Modern ADV bikes are starting to cross the line between Enduro and ADV. Pol Tarrés on the Yamaha T7 has the talent to shame a lot of 450 Hard enduro, but that's what we call a superhuman. Then there's Chris Birch on KTM bikes. Fun to watch. I also enjoy watching some MotoAmerica racing and some Trials competition.
TM motorcycles are better than anything sherco or beta build because they are awesome motorcycles this is the bike you need to search out for Dave had this technology for The last 5 years
"Riding like the keyboard warriors." Love it!
I resemble that 🤪
You just said you weren’t legal out loud Morgan lol great video👍👍
Hehehehe
I can hear the Excitement in your voice about the bike.
Happy for you morgan enjoy it. Keep healing up so can rip sooner than later. Honestly the bike keeps sounding better. 🤘
Didn’t like the black tank at first but now I am cool with it,and won’t get discoloured if you do mix your fuel👍
Your excitement is true and genuine man. I can already tell that you love that bike as much as me and my re claimed trusty ktm 200. It’s great to see
That motor sounds awesome! I’m 6’3” and that chassis is good for bigger people! I live in Oklahoma and that bike would be awesome for CC and Vet moto! Tempting. Lol
Maybe you can ride fast, But can you type on a keyboard as fast as me???? 😂
So fun to see something new in enduro! Keep it up buddy!!!!!!!

More Fantic content than Motocross Action thats for sure.
Motocross Austrian! ahha true but , no care about our sport unless there's a marketing contract with Motocross Austrian Mag MXA
Nice job Morgan, looking good

Thanks. Yeah, I couldn’t bring myself to buy another KTM. We all know how they are snd I have one that I like. 🤷🏼♂️
When are you getting one?

Back uptick starters need to be retained .. shame on the factories for eliminating it.
@ I believe with the Rieju it’s not possible to have a kicker on the new EFI stuff
Feeling better about my last ride up Eagle Valley now! 😁
Hahaha. Totally.
Sounds so nice.
"Riding like the keyboard warriors." Awesome! Hey, wait, I resemble that remark. 🤪

The look of black is good, but I hate the fact I can’t see the level.

What kind of back pack are you using? I like the pockets in the front. Cool bike
That is an alpinestars but I like the WLF enduro better
Awesome review as per usual! Curious about the weight of the bike.....

@ Moto United here in Salt Lake City told me this….ever since I have ran a shorty breather tube…..my bearings have lasted forever
Get a flashlight and look in that hole
@@kevcol123keep your gas breather down that hole and see how long your steering bearings last bruh!!!😂
I think you're just enjoying this bike too much.🥰
you just ride out from your house, that's awesome.
Yep. Don’t have to have a plate or anything. Our county made it legal to ride off road bikes as long as you aren’t in the city limits
Hey Morgan
Even in your keyboard warrior mode you probably still ride faster than me 🤣🤣🤣
Awesome but I’d love to see you on a four stroke for a full season to see how you’d adapt and what you’d do with the bike itself.
Maybe someday.
15:20 Didn’t expect to see phosphor scan lines on an oled phone screen 😳

21:41 "DASAGOOO DAWG" 😂
Seems to lug nice. 👍
Are you going to look into general at home maintenance and deep cleaning? Over all the screws, clip and over lapping plastics on modern ktms
Sweet moto 🤪🤙
Where do you get the socket driver? Looks like a great bike.

Maybe I’ll be able to keep up with you if I come up there soon. Lol😅
Hey! I'm not slow most of the time, I'm slow ALL of the time,
I wouldn't change the silencer if I would I believe they have a carbon fiber one with the same shape because that shape is pretty cool that comes on it
I like the shape, look and performance but to be legal here we have to have a spark arrestor
@highlandcycles Yeah I know that's The law where you're at but where you ride at there's not even no woods to catch on fire its all rocks lol
@ no kidding. But I can’t be riding around as high profile as I am without being legal for too long.
I've been doing 105km (65miles)/ tank so far. And that is "high pace" at least for me, in the Dutch sand... 80miles trail riding in hard pack should not be an issue
That is very good to hear! Thanks so much
What a beautiful day! Whats the temps?
Mid 40’s
@@highlandcycles about perfect!
Morgan what driver is that you used to adjust your levers? I need one!
www.byrneos.com/
137km on a 9 liter tank
not bad
Will you tell us how many balls you installed in each? That way those of us that also use Mousse Balls get an idea of what you’re running. Thanks
I honestly don’t know. I just put them in all touching and don’t leave any gaps.
Fantic nails fueling on their first try, while KTM is still working on it 6 years later.
@@JB-th4bx 100%
Cool 🤙 🤙🤙
Question I haven’t heard yet does it have a safety when you push the start.or like the KTM it will just let you go off the cliff .my Yamaha wouldn’t start a four stroke that is unless you pull the clutch
No. It will launch if you hit button
It was great chatting with you Sunday and checking out the fantic. Video does not do the graphics justice. In the sun they pop!
What national you guys gonna race
Round 1
I have been meaning to ask do you guys get a lot of snow or is that normal for your area.
Pretty normal. Never know though
Surprised you don't wrap plumbers tape on your bars under your perches... then even when tight enough the perch/ levers can be moved by hand
I haven’t done ANYTHING real to it yet
Oh I don't know about that opening statement. Ever been 140 mph in the dirt? 😆
No and I doubt you have on two wheels. I’m not sure that’s been done except maybe with a Dakar bike from the old days.

Are u running Yamahlube 2r premix oil and vp
I wonder if the hitles is compatible for your bike? The bike sounds good regardless though- man I wanted to win that Beta dude!!!
It might fit kinda but with the e power valve you don’t need it
@@highlandcycles shows what I know about 2 strokes - I better go back to my keyboard 😂😂😂
@ 🤣😂
Wish they would have put a 6 speed in it
It's no biggie, so long as the spread between gears is wide enough.
6 speed - the way to go.
More shifting for the same low and hi ratio?
I like the way there spaced better on the 6 speed
Tubeless are way better than moose balls maybe you should try them out it would probably help you out
HahHahahaha
it's it the wr 5 speed tranny like the 250x?
Kinda. All the same except 3rd is a little taller
My husqvarna have neutral light too.
Must bee an european thing
So does my Rieju.
Sounds closer to a 500
Feels like one as far as torque but much smoother
@ I’m excited that you got that bike & testing it.
Go slow and make it last, Right?…lol
You lost me with the keyboard warrior comment, adios
Perfect
Bro! Try a 4 stroke already 😂
Ride like the wind

I’ve ridden one. Didn’t like it much.
