Beta launches Xtrainer MY2024!
After the model's early success, and the complete overhaul launched in the last Model Year, Beta is
once again updating its Xtrainer in both form and function, further expanding the field of use of the
most versatile bike from Rignano sull’Arno.
Xtrainer is a bike that offers a simply unique package of technical equipment, performance,
ergonomics and design, and for the new Model Year boasts new graphics which highlight the shape
of the recently redesigned conveyors. The latest restyling lends the bike style, modernity and
elegance, for a ride that is anything but ordinary: in fact, it is eXTraordinary.
Thanks to unique characteristics such as first-rate engine docility and great rideability, the Xtrainer
responds perfectly to the needs of all riders who seek a motorcycle that is easy to ride and practical,
allowing the rider to feel comfortable in most conditions. Inspired by the world of trials riding,
Xtrainer can adapt to a range of situations with disarming ease. Whether you are an amateur looking
for your first bike, a skilled enduro rider seeking a less tiring and less challenging bike, or an expert
rider who wants an extreme enduro companion, Xtrainer is the ideal solution. The motorcycle’s
usability in every situation allows the rider to focus only on the riding and enjoy the wonderful world
of off-roading.
Lower to the ground than the big brother RR models with a narrow mid-section and a power delivery
that is easily managed from low to high rpm, Xtrainer has the power it needs to hold the racing line,
but favours slightly slower and more technical routes where it can exploit its trials-inspired vocation,
as well as the torque of its Beta 250 or 300 two-stroke engine.
A recipe made up of simple ingredients, which are skilfully blended to give rise to an eXTraordinary
result.
The elements in this perfect recipe can be summarised as follows:
• Limited weight: just 99 kg, for a bike that is extremely agile and intuitive, even for novices.
• Seat height: reduced by 20mm compared to the RR range, allowing riders to touch the
ground when needed in tricky conditions.
• Brakes: Nissin, hydraulic discs measuring 260mm at the front and 240mm at the rear.
• Battery: lightweight, high-performance lithium battery.
• Fork and Single Shock: R16V with 43mm stanchions at the front and progressive leverage at
the rear. The suspension can be fully customised, the fork offering adjustable spring pre-load
and rebound while the single shock is adjustable in terms of its spring pre-load, compression
and rebound.
• Beta Progressive Valve: the Beta Progressive exhaust valve can be externally adjusted by the
rider, allowing engine performance to be effectively adapted to suit every kind of conditions.
• Map switch device with handlebar button: Two positions for faster or slower engine
response.
• Fuel tank: transparent tank with 8.8 litre capacity.
• Automatic mixer: located beneath the seat (which is easily opened at the touch of a button),
it does away with the need for the oil-fuel premix;
• Soft tyres: their soft compound and aggressive design guarantee grip in every situation, the
rider benefiting from responses that are less twitchy with respect to a tyre with a stiffer
sidewall.
• Cooling fan: although the two-stroke engine offers good thermal equilibrium, the fan is
mounted as standard on Xtrainer, to ensure the engine always maintains the ideal running
temperature, even on slower routes;
• Electric starter: precise and reliable, essential when restarting the bike in tricky situations;
• Engine and clutch: derived from the RR, engine delivery is sufficiently tempered to suit the
characteristics of Xtrainer.
Given these characteristics, and the improvements that the bike received in the previous 2023
Model Year (rear subframe, intake system, battery, larger tank and new plastic components), the
main innovation in this model is the innovative electronic key, a brand-new feature on a Beta.
• Electronic key: a magnetic “kill-switch”-type key. The device represents an absolute
innovation both for Beta and for the entire enduro world.
The new electronic key is a security system that simultaneously performs both the function
of anti-theft device and that of motorbike and rider protection, and is an exclusive European
Patent registered by Betamotor (EP3064405B1).
It consists of two parts: one that remains fixed to the vehicle's handlebars and another,
magnetic (wearable by the rider with a wrist strap), which is disconnected to activate the
mechanism.
Anti-theft function: as in automotive world, the device precludes the possibility of starting
the engine when disconnected, thanks to a codification that uniquely matches the key to the
motorbike, deterring theft of the vehicle when left unattended. This adds protection for the
first time beyond the steering lock only.
Greater safety level for the rider and motorcycle: with a similar function to the "Kill-Switch"
device, the motorcycle is switched off when the magnetic contact point connected to the
rider's wrist and the motorbike handlebar becomes disconnected. Shutting off the bike
prevents damage to the engine in the event of a fall, and provides greater safety for the rider
if they should lose control, or the bike is on the ground with the throttle open.
Greater protection for the bike and rider, in a sole solution, exclusively developed by
Betamotor.
In addition, the following components are receiving an update on the 2024 Xtrainer:
• Seat: the foam making up the seat has a different geometry and density to provide greater rider
comfort, as with the RR family of bikes. The greater support area and different composition of the
materials significantly increase the comfort of the Xtrainer while riding.
• Graphics: the new graphics are reminiscent of the bike's larger siblings. The characteristic
Beta red is, indeed, accompanied by contrasting black and white elements in continuity with
the style that the bike received with the previous MY’s restyling, but now even more
customised, geometric and easily recognis
