The 125 models have had the biggest change, featuring a brand new 125cc Minarelli engine, who Fantic recently bought from Yamaha. The new engine makes use of a Variable Valve Actuation (VVA) system that allows it to switch cam profiles depending on RPM.
With it there’s also a new cylinder head design, that combined with the VVA helps to improve power while also running cleaner and using less fuel although Fantic haven’t provided any figures just yet!
The 125 also now comes with a slipper clutch, which as well as helping to prevent rear wheel lock ups on deceleration also helps to improve gear shifting as the pull is 20% lighter.
