Xtrainer is a bike that offers a simply unique package of technical equipment, performance, ergonomics and design, and for the new model year it boasts new graphics which highlight the shape of the recently redesigned plastics. The latest restyling gives the bike a modern and elegant style, for a ride that is anything but ordinary: in fact, it is eXTraordinary.
Lower to the ground than the big brother RR models, boasting a narrower mid-section and a power delivery that is easily managed from low to high rpm, Xtrainer has the power it needs to hold the racing line, but favours slightly slower and more technical routes where it can exploit its trials-inspired DNA, as well as the torque of its Beta 250cc two-stroke engine.
The 249cc Engine is derived from the RR 250, however the output has been tempered to suit the characteristics of the Xtrainer.
An automatic oiling system takes the hassle out of owning a two-stroke. An oil pump and solenoid injects oil at the correct rate via a throttle position sensor.
With it’s lightweight frame and body, coming in at 99kg (dry weight), and narrow shroud and plastics, the Xtrainer is nimble and agile for riders of all experience levels. The seat height is 20mm lower compared to the RR 250, allowing even the most vertically challenged riders to get a solid footing when needed.
R16V with 43mm stanchions at the front and progressive linkage ratio at the rear. The suspension can be fully customised, the forks offering adjustable spring pre-load and rebound while the shock is adjustable in terms of its spring pre-load, compression and rebound.
Although the two-stroke engines offer good thermal efficiency, a thermo fan is mounted as standard on Xtrainer, to ensure the engine always maintains the ideal running temperature, even on slower trails. The fan is automatically controlled by the engine management for worry free riding.
Pulling the Xtrainer 250 up is easy, with a 260mm wave disc brake combined with a double-piston floating caliper up front, and a 240mm wave disc brake and single-piston caliper in the rear.
A map switch mounted to the handlebar allows riders to quickly change engine maps on the fly, helping you through the most challenging terrains and situations.
A magnetic “kill-switch”-type key. The device represents an absolute innovation both for Beta and for the entire enduro world. The new electronic key is a security system that simultaneously performs both the function of an anti-theft device, offers motorbike and rider protection, and is an exclusive European Patent registered by Betamotor (EP3064405B1).
As in the automotive world, the magnetic key precludes the possibility of starting the engine when disconnected, thanks to its code system that uniquely matches the key to the motorbike, deterring theft of the vehicle when left unattended. This adds additional security protection on top of the existing steering lock.
Similar in function to a “Kill-Switch” device, the motorcycle is switched off when the magnetic contact point connected to the rider’s wrist and the motorbike handlebar becomes disconnected. Shutting off the bike prevents damage to the engine in the event of a fall, and provides greater safety for the rider if they should lose control, or the bike is on the ground with the throttle open. Greater protection for the bike and rider, in a single solution, exclusively developed by Betamotor.
