Delhi : The 2024 Caballero 500, a mid-capacity scrambler, has been updated and is available from Italian brand Fantic. With its aluminum swingarm and 2 kg reduced weight, the new model has a circular LED headlamp with 24 LEDs. With LED turn signals and a tail lamp, it comes in three different models: Rally, Explorer, and Deluxe. A fresh engine map has improved the engine's throttle response and smoothed out its performance. Unlike rival Triumph's Scrambler 400X, Fantic has no ambitions to join the Indian market. The cost is not yet known.

With the redesigned 2024 Caballero 500, Italian brand Fantic has entered the growing scrambler market on a global scale. The Scrambler 400X, Royal Enfield Scram 411, and Yezdi Scrambler are currently available in India as mid-capacity scramblers.

Nearly every design of the previous model's design is still present on the Italian motorcycle.

Nevertheless, the swingarm is now built of aluminum to improve stiffness and lightness (it weighs 2 kg less). The motorcycle has the same vintage appearance, but it now has a circular LED headlight with 24 LEDs. Three versions of the 2024 edition are offered: Rally, Explorer, and Deluxe. LED lighting is also used in the turn signals and tail lamp.

In relation to the engine, the maker has released an updated engine map that offers smoother operation and better throttle response. The engine itself is still a 449cc liquid-cooled single-cylinder unit with 40 horsepower and 43 Nm of peak torque, aside from this improvement.
