Italian marque Fantic has enjoyed an exceptional comeback at the hands of CEO Mariano Roman. Since 2015, the firm has continued to grow its production model lineup and recently expanded into electric drivetrains with its acquisition of Motori Minarelli. More recently, Fantic has been broadening its horizons even further by participating in world-class race series.
In December, 2021, the factory team announced its move up to MXGP and Fantic partnered with rally legend Franco Picco to take on the 2022 Dakar Rally. The brand has its sights set on more than dirt glory, however. Several sources report that Fantic Racing Manager Claudio Giovanardi has been working on a deal to bring Fantic to the Moto2 grid in 2023.
