The 2023 racing season is drawing to a close, and the Beta Factory Trial Team is determined to achieve the best possible results with its riders: like Matteo Grattarola, who is proving his ability in the top class following his return to the Beta team for the remainder of the 2023 season.
The tried and tested technical package, provided by the manufacturer from Rignano sull’Arno, Italy to its riders and all enthusiasts of the brand, which has seen advances over time thanks to feedback from Factory Riders, has confirmed itself to be a winner, and is returning to the market with the addition of a new functional component – the electronic key.
Beta is therefore launching the EVO My 2024 with an original graphical release with a refined
aesthetic impact that makes this new model both judiciously racing-styled and elegant.
The skilful use of red, in this case used to enhance the grey coloured base instead of as a primary element, exalts the bike's volumes and embellishes the original aesthetic appearance of the vehicle. The mill-finish aluminum swingarm and frame emphasizes the bike's strong links with racing, where the materials are pure and everything is designed for maximum performance.
Thanks to the innovations introduced with the previous Model Year, which make the EVO range stand out right at the top of the Trial sector, all recent additions to the bike are confirmed for 2024, with updates however to the aesthetic impact, with new graphics which are released from the traditional Beta red.
The main new feature from the point of view of the equipment involves the introduction of the electronic key which plays a dual role, combining the more traditional passive bike and rider safety function traditionally represented by a Kill-Switch with an innovative anti-theft function.
The EVO range is one of the most extensive in this class, and continues to offer a total of six different models, each with its own character and able to meet the needs of all riders, raising the potential and level of enjoyment that each experience:
| Evo 80 Junior/Senior | Evo 200 |
Evo 250 |
| The Evo 80 is the ideal bike for newcomers to the sport. The Junior version is by far the easiest bike to use for young riders learning on a gas-powered trial bike for the first time. The Senior version on the other hand is an intermediate step between the smaller bike and the bigger 125 model, sharing the same wheel size with the latter while keeping the intuitive manageability of the 80cc engine. |
The smallest homologation-ready bike in the range. Light and agile, this is perfect for young riders moving up from lesser classes and making their first forays into more serious competitions. The benchmark bike in its class. The engine delivers enough performance to overcome any obstacle in safety, while still being fun and easy to handle. | This is the ideal bike for riders looking for an agile and easily controllable 2-stroke, with a more docile temperament and with slightly less power and torque than the range-topping model. The Evo 250 is ideal for the amateur looking for class-beating performance combined with precisely manageable power and impeccable Rideability. |
| Evo 300 | Evo 300 SS | Evo 300 4T |
| The 300 2 Stroke is the leader of the class. A bike for lovers of big capacity engines with impressive torque at all engine speeds, and the perfect base for competing at the clubman or pro levels. The size of both the frame and the engine have been optimized to maximize the ability of the bike to overcome even the most challenging obstacles and the most technically difficult trials. | With SS standing for “Super Smooth”, this is the model with the broadest appeal in the whole 2-stroke range. A bike that extremely fun to ride with all the main traits of the biggest Beta engine - the 300 cc unit - but with a softer overall power delivery compared to the standard version. The SS provides a power delivery that improves rider confidence due to its docile power and excellent handling. |
The 4-stroke model also boasts an engine capacity of 300 cc, and strikes the perfect balance between performance, tractable engine power and overall usability. This engine embraces a completely different approach to riding than its 2-stroke siblings. With plenty of torque and linear power delivery that only a 4-stroke can deliver, many riders will find the power delivery refreshing compared to the more powerful 2-stroke models. |
New Features for the Entire Range:
Electronic Key: this new electronic device holds an exclusive European patent awarded to Betamotor (EP3064405B1), and provides an anti-theft function as well as protecting the bike and its rider. The electronic key is a two-part component: one part remains fastened to the bike's handlebars, while the other is magnetic (worn by the rider with a cord around their wrist), activating a mechanism in the event they are disconnected.
The device, which was recently introduced for the first time on a Beta model with the Xtrainer My24, fulfills the function of a Kill-Switch for the safety of both bike and rider, shutting off the bike when the magnetic contact point connected to the rider’s wrist and the handlebar is disconnected.
Unlike a normal Kill-Switch, however, the new electronic key also incorporates an anti-theft function, preventing the bike from being started when disconnected, thanks to coding which uniquely links the bike to the key, protecting against theft of the vehicle when it is left unattended.
Greater protection for the bike and rider, in a single solution exclusively patented by Betamotor; for the first time as standard equipment.
Evo My 2024 also retains all the recent additions to the vehicle in the various engine sizes, which confirm the functionality of the tried and tested technical package, more specifically:
• Redesigned radiator grille: as well as optimizing the air flow, it also boasts a greater protective surface in the cap and radiator body area, to prevent these components from sustaining damage from impacts with branches, stones or in the case of a fall.
• Tank cover: the shape envelops the frame and allows all the cable routing to be covered, for a clean and more orderly look. The mapping switch is also located inside it. It is, indeed, worth remembering that the EVO offers a choice of two different engine maps that the rider can select with a convenient button on the tank cover. This location makes the button easy to reach while offering protection against knocks and unintentional operation, while an LED indicator lets the rider immediately identify which map is currently in use.
• Rear shock: the EVO shock comes complete with all the adjustments a rider needs to tailor the bike and identify the ideal set-up but, with the latest evolutionary step implemented, the bike is significantly improved in terms of its progressiveness, responsiveness and damping.
The innovations introduced to the largest displacement two-stroke models (250/300) also include:
• Crankshaft and piston rod with reduced interaxle spacing for more rounded delivery and improved vehicle dynamics.
• Cylinder and head: overhauled timing and combustion chamber, providing improved torque at low rpms, while retaining engine performance at higher speeds.
• Engine map: optimized in order to set up the components in the best possible way and exploit the engine's power and docility.
• Exhaust manifold: a manifold protection has been installed to avoid any overheating and to protect the manifold from impacts. As well as being functional, this rounds out the bike's overall look (also on 125 two-stroke).
