XTRAINER
B
eta has pretty much
introduced a new class
of motorcycle with its
all-new Xtrainer, a compact,
lightweight and easy-to-ride all-
around off-road bike designed
for the entry-level, casual and
even expert rider.
"It is the perfect bike for
riders who wish to play ride
without the intimidation of a full-
size enduro machine or for the
expert rider looking to enhance
their technical skills.
"Our engineers saw the need
to build a bike that defines fun,
a motorcycle that is perfect for
newcomers becoming involved
with the wonderful world of en-
duro riding. The Xtrainer offers
excellent performance while at
the same time is easy to ride."
The Beta Xtrainer features a
smaller deltabox frame, which
provides for a lower seat height
and a lower center of gravity.
It has a 43mm fork and single-
shock rear suspension.
The bike's powerplant is de-
rived from Beta's popular 300
RR two-stroke that is said to
produce linear and progressive
power. It has an electronically
controlled oil injection system,
which eliminates the need of
having to mix fuel and oil. In
other words, no premixing! And
there is no kicking, either, be-
cause the Xtrainer is fitted with
electric starting.
MSRP is $6999 and the bike
is expected to be available in
March, 2015.
