Designed for long distances and speed, Rampage is the first Fantic e-mtb in the light e-mtb segment: a concentrate of innovation and technology, designed to meet the needs of the contemporary biker.

Rampage is dedicated to riders looking for fun covering long distances and the feeling of a muscle bike. Fantic enters the e-mtb light segment with a high-performance and aggressive bike that winks at the horizon, to go beyond the top, discovering what is hidden further away.

The new Rampage, built around the concept of lightness, sought after by Fantic's R&D department in every detail, features a Full Carbon frame that weighs 15.5 kg in the top-of-the-range set-up. Light enough to forget the battery, integrated into the frame.

Weight optimization is also guaranteed by the special suspension which works by bending the rear triangle, thus saving 2 joints. The Fantic Flip Chip patent, previously studied for the XTF 1.6 carbon, allows the rear wheel to have 2 positions and thus obtain two geometries, keeping the length of the rear as short as possible and a reactive bike with both 2,2'' tires both 2,4''.

The setting-up

The top-of-the-range versions feature the integrated Fantic Racing carbon handlebar developed by the Fantic team. The 1.2 Factory mounts the Crankbrothers carbon telescopic seatpost, to date the only one on the market.

TQ engine

The motor and battery Power Unit is signed by TQ, with a 50 Nm HPR50 motor, specifically dedicated to the light e-mtb segment, and guarantees the feeling of a muscular bike, also thanks to its silence. The 360Wh battery, integrated in the frame, but removable, is rechargeable via the frame charging port, the same one where to connect the range extender.

The central display on the top tube indicates the battery level, the autonomy, the watts supplied by the motor and the cyclist's power, as well as obviously the speed, while the remote control on the handlebar allows you to set 3 levels of assistance which can be customized with the app : maximum power (maximum engine watts), assistance percentage (engine response to the rider's thrust) and pedal response (the delivery boost, immediate or accompanying pedalling).

5 versions: Cross Country and Down Country

A new sector in which Fantic enters by presenting 2 versions for the XC, Cross Country, the 1.2 Factory and the 1.2 Race, and 3 versions for the DC, Down Country, respectively the 1.4 Factory, the 1.4 Race and the 1.4 Sport. All available in two colors, Black, with iridescent graphics, and Red, with titanium-colored graphics.

The geometries of the 1.2 XC offer maximum pedaling efficiency and a racing driving setting, always leaving a head angle that allows you to tackle the most technical descents thanks to the 120mm travel, while the 1.4 DC version, with a wider wheel and longer rear end, it has greater grip and stability on descents, also thanks to the 140mm travel. The DC is the bike more devoted to downhill fun than its XC sister, more devoted to pedaling efficiency.
All RockShox, fork and shock absorber, both with remote lockout on the handlebar, for the 1.2 and in the Ultimate version in the Factory. Suntour package, on the other hand, for the 1.4, featuring 3 models with manual controls and increased air volume compared to the 1.2

Even the wheels and cranks are in carbon in the top-of-the-range versions. The newborn Sram XX rear derailleur mounted on the XC 1.2 Factory deserves to be underlined: super light, resistant, hangerless, practical and without the need for any adjustments. A rear derailleur that offers smooth shifting even under load with XS drive, wireless electronic and powered directly by the main battery of the bike, therefore without an additional independent battery
