We perform the analysis of a hyperbolic model which is the analog of the Fisher-KPP equation. This model accounts for particles that move at maximal speed ϵ-1 (ϵ > 0), and proliferate according to a reaction term of monostable type. We study the existence and stability of traveling fronts. We exhibit a transition depending on the parameter ϵ: for small ϵ the behavior is essentially the same as for the diffusive Fisher-KPP equation. However, for large ϵ the traveling front with minimal speed is discontinuous and travels at the maximal speed ϵ-1. The traveling fronts with minimal speed are linearly stable in weighted L2 spaces. We also prove local nonlinear stability of the traveling front with minimal speed when ϵ is smaller than the transition parameter.
