CFMOTO 700CL-X 2023

CFMOTO shows once again that you can't go wrong with very good workmanship, accessible rideability and good to very good equipment. Add to this the attractive price and the powerful sound - the established scrambler competition will have to ask themselves why their slush-road hybrids sometimes cost considerably more.

Fantic Caballero 700 2023

Fantic Caballero 700 2023

The Fantic Caballero 700 is a bit of a cheat - but a really clever one! The engine of this smart Italian comes from Japan, where it is known as the CP2 and powers successful models such as the MT-07 and Tenere 700. Accordingly, the Fantic is agile and lively, weighing 188 kilos ready to ride. Add to that pleasantly easy handling and a comfortable riding position paired with a ravishingly authentic look - and you have a really good scrambler. Since the tyres basically work well and only the larger 19-inch front wheel prevents even more agile handling, sticking to the scrambler style is also perfectly fine here.
