VOL. 51 ISSUE 45 NOVEMBER 11, 2014 P65 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.
