Beta EVO Factory 2T & 4T range
Arriving March 2019
The new Beta 2019 EVO Factory models will hit the market in March 2019, with pre-orders already being taken, and offer a styled racing look and special components that make these new offerings a must for trial riders who want to tackle the new race season with the best that Beta has to offer.
There are three 2-stroke (2T) versions (125, 250 and 300cc) and a 4-stroke (4T) version (300cc), all of which have undergone meticulous technical development to make the bikes even better than the prior models. Beta, Italy’s only trial bike manufacturer, provides an engine with a distinctly “racing” character that, together with the first-class chassis set-up, provides high performance without diminishing the fun factor.
Compared to the standard version, the Evo Factory models stand out due to the following features.
Beta 2-Stroke EVO Factory model features
- Black magnesium covers – providing major weight savings.
- Titanium manifold (with conical cylinder connector 125 cc only) – boosts performance significantly and reduces weight.
- Profiled clutch discs – maintain clutch precision and control with a light clutch lever pull.
- Cylinder with revised porting – provides a more powerful and consistent power delivery without removing the user-friendliness Beta is popular for.
- Cylinder head with specially-designed volume and squish (300cc only) – considerable performance increase; the red color also offers a ‘racing’ look.
- Optimised control unit (ECU) mappings to enhance low-rev power delivery and maintain performance at mid-high revs.
- Black anodized engine oil plugs.
Beta EVO 300 4T Factory
The 300cc engine on the new 2019 Evo Factory 4 Stroke is equipped with a lighter, even higher-performing titanium silencer. A new electronic control unit boosts power to improve the stability of the ignition delivery creating a more clean-burning combustion throughout the rev range.
To make the new Evo Factory a true competition-ready bike capable of competing at the highest level across all categories, much of the design work has focused on the suspension. More specifically, the differences with respect to the standard versions are as follows.
Beta 4-Stroke EVO Factory model features
- Re-calibrated fork valving.
- Gold anodized, billet machined triple clamp – lets the rider shift the handlebar risers forwards or backwards to adjust bike set-up.
- Rear suspension with longer wheelbase and adjustment of both compression and rebound – more progressive valving.
- Linkage progression is more sensitive and progressive, ensuring better traction and push-off when faced with high obstacles.
- Lanyard-type kill switch.
- Black anodized bar end plugs – protect the grips and ensure smooth, long-lasting throttle performance.
- New black anodized chain adjusters – for more precise adjustment of chain tension.
- Billet machined foot pegs with non-slip steel pins.
- Racing brake discs – more powerful braking and weight savings.
- BrakTec brake and clutch master cylinders – improved feel and power.
- Black anodized brake and clutch master cylinder covers.
- Rear brake caliper with brake pad anti-vibration system.
