VOLUME 56 ISSUE 40 OCTOBER 8, 2019 P63 B eta's Xtrainer 300 "play bike" is celebrating its sixth birthday with a fairly significant update, most notably a two-stroke motor that is now counter-balanced, which should reduce engine vibration significantly. The crankshaft is also new to match the new counter-balancer shaft. The new crank has a revised flywheel, which Beta claims smooths out power and further helps snuff out engine vibes. Clutch plates are redesigned for smoother shifting, and there is a new map switch on the handlebar with an LED light. Other changes include new front fender and headlight mask, redesigned radiator shrouds, longer swingarm, updated final-drive gearing, new chain guide, new handlebar protector, new meter and updated internal suspension settings. And, of course, there are the new graphics and colors. MSRP is $7699 and is expected to be available in early November. CN 2020 Beta Xtrainer 300
