Phantic motorcycle marketing has in recent months passed to Metro Motor, an importer of Yamaha and Sun-Young among others.
The addition of the new brand is supposed to provide a solution for those who want SUVs at more affordable prices, without producing a bite in other activities of the company's SUV brands (Yamaha, Beta).

To this day, Fantik motorcycles are imported to Israel in low numbers by the Stomp company.
Now apparently thanks to the connection of Fantic to Yamaha through the acquisition of Mineral (world-class) this brand is moving to another stage in its local life.
Most of the local offerings will be concentrated in the enduro field with DOP (125 cc) and ARP (250 cc) models, which will be sold for NIS 53,000 and NIS 66,000, respectively.
Since these are Yamaha engines, it can be expected that at least one of these will occupy an important place in the company's offering in the market.
In our opinion, one of the brand's most interesting offers for the Israeli market will be the XEF250 'Trail' - an enduro motorcycle for beginners with a suitable specification and a price set at NIS 35,000.
Two other models that will be marketed here are the two-stroke motocross version, with a volume of only 125 cc.
The other is the Caballero, a very handsome scrambler motorcycle equipped with a 449 cc (40 hp) single engine that will be sold here for NIS 48,000.
As in other cases, in which Metro received a franchise to import a brand that has already been marketed in Israel (Zero Electric, for example), the company also declares that it will provide service to existing motorcycles in the country in order to build and strengthen the brand.
