2026 Fantic Imola 500
Lightweight A2 sportbike with Italian styling and surprisingly refined performance
Price: €7,199
The Imola 500 is a lightweight sportbike for riders who want A2 performance combined with agile handling and Italian design. The 463 cc single-cylinder produces 45 hp and delivers lively response, perfectly matching the compact, sporty character. With low weight, sporty ergonomics, and full fairing, it feels more serious than typical entry-level bikes and performs especially well on winding roads.
Direct competitors include the Aprilia RS 457, Kawasaki Ninja 500, and CFMOTO 450SR S. The Aprilia feels more mature but costs more. The Kawasaki is practical but less exclusive. The CFMOTO offers strong equipment but lacks the lightness of the Fantic.
Within the Fantic lineup, the Imola 500 is the most sport-focused road model and the fully faired counterpart to the Stealth 500.
