Beta’s XTrainer gets an updated look, while maintaining the recent “Total Grey” design, and enhancing the vibrancy of the most cross-cutting Enduro motorcycle in the made in Rignano sull’Arno range with a new design.

The XTrainer provides riders with a unique, yet specific amount of details that provide the right amount of performance, ergonomics, and design. For MY26, it boasts a completely new 250 2T engine, inheriting the recent technical solutions employed in the XPRO, updated to adapt to its milder nature.

Thanks to these unique characteristics, such as first-rate engine docility and Beta’s trademark Rideability, the XTrainer responds perfectly to the needs of all riders who seek a high-performance bike that is, above all, easy-to-ride and practical, allowing the rider to easily deal with most challenges that off road riding can bring.

Inspired by trials riding, the XTrainer provides a light-weight and smaller overall package to provide the rider with a boost of confidence. Whether you are an amateur looking for your first bike, a skilled Enduro rider seeking something less tiring and challenging, or an expert biker who wants an extreme Enduro companion, the XTrainer is the ideal solution.

Lower to the ground than other full-size Enduro models with a narrow mid-section, along with a broad power delivery that is almost electric-like, XTrainer has the right power it needs to hold the racing line, but favours slightly slower and more technical routes where it can exploit its trials inspired design, as well as the torque of its Beta 250 or 300 two-stroke engine.

Here is a summary of the model’s characteristics

• Lighter weight: an extremely agile motorcycle, even for novices, a bike that is easier to manoeuvre at slow speeds and requires less energy from the rider. This enhances the riding pleasure;

• Seat height: reduced by 20mm compared to the RR range, to allow many riders to have more comfortable footing in most situations;

• Brakes: Nissin, with 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 linkage system at the rear. The suspension is fully adjustable, the fork offering adjustable spring pre-load and rebound, and the single shock is adjustable in terms of its spring pre load, compression and rebound;

• Power delivery: smooth and linear, full-bodied and powerful - the perfect mix to have fun everywhere;

• Beta Progressive Valve: the Beta Progressive exhaust valve can be adjusted by the rider from an easy external adjuster, allowing engine performance to be effectively adapted to suit every kind of usage. Turn the adjuster inward for slower speeds, turn the adjust out for more free-rev fun;

• Map switch mounted on the handlebar: Rain or sun modes, to compliment the progressive valve;

• Tank: 8.8 litre transparent tank

• Automatic oil injection: 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 carcass;

• Cooling fan: The fan is mounted as standard on XTrainer, to ensure the engine always maintains the ideal running temperature, even on slower routes. Thermoswitch controls the fan so no rider input is needed;

• Electric starter: precise and reliable, essential when restarting the bike in tricky situations;

• Engine and clutch: derived from the RR model range, no corners are cut with the Xtrainer, a diaphragm clutch along with a six-speed transmission complete the package. For My26, Betamotor engineers introduced a set of aesthetic and functional updates. Specifically:

• Graphics: the plastic retains the beloved Grey colour, updated with modern and vibrant graphics, and contemporary white finishes that stand out and embrace its character;

• Taillight: XTrainer gets a new LED taillight, more modern and sturdier than the previous model;

• Meter: the Model Year 26 is equipped with a new meter, which is larger and easier to read. This new meter provides the rider with much information such as speed, distance, trip meter, and low oil warning;

• 250 2T engine: the 250cc engine was subjected to a series of structural updates to make its behaviour more similar to its big sister, the 300cc. This was achieved by employing a crankshaft with a reduced stroke (which is now the same on the 250 and the 300cc), with a consequent increased bore compared to the previous model.

The new engine is completed by an updated head with a different combustion chamber and a new cylinder with modified transfer port geometry.

Following these updates, the torque and linear power delivery were significantly increased, without affecting too much the overall performances, making it enjoyable in the Enduro range, and positively enhancing also the motorcycles handling, with centralized weight and lowered centre of gravity. Plus, the new crankcase houses larger and sturdier main bearings.

• Transmission ratios: First introduced in the RR XPRO, the second gear was significantly updated to provide more range of use. This has increased the smoothness when switching to the third gear. (This update was made on both the 250 and the 300 2T models).
