2017 Factory Models
ENGINE
The new Evo Factory range is made up of the following versions: the 125, 250, 300cc as well as the 300cc four-stroke. As with all Factory versions from Beta this is a further evolution of the standard Evo model. Numerous special parts, some made of machined aluminium, go hand-in-hand with eye-catching replica graphics. The machine thus represents the most advanced, race-ready technology the Beta brand has to offer. The winning feature of this engine is its user-friendliness with no compromising on performance. Thanks to numerous finely targeted improvements, performance has been further boosted compared to previous versions.
All engines benefit from the many upgrades presented on the 2017 standard Evo models, to which the following new developments have been added: All three two-stroke models have black magnesium engine crankcases, which provide major weight savings compared to the standard version, and profiled clutch discs which maintain clutch precision and control even under the most extreme conditions.
125cc: Titanium front exhaust with conical cylinder connector, which boosts performance significantly while reducing weight.
250cc: Titanium front exhaust: boosts performance significantly while cutting weight; Ignition mapping specifically tuned for enhanced rider performance and better throttle response; New silencer which increases performance with respect to the standard version.
300cc: Titanium front exhaust which boosts performance significantly while cutting weight; New port timing for transfer and exhaust ports, lowered with respect to the standard version, consequently increasing torque at low revs; Combustion chamber with specially designed volume and squish to boost performance.
300cc 4T: Titanium silencer which, in addition to limiting weight, ensures improved performance throughout the power range and more linear power delivery.
CHASSIS
Changes to the chassis are shared on all the new models both 2T and 4T
• NEW FORK COMPRESSION ADJUSTMENT: For the first time – in addition to rebound damping adjustment via a manual knob – compression can now be adjusted via an adjustment screw, allowing riders to personalise compression to suit individual riding styles.
• NEW BLACK ANODIZED TRIPLE CLAMP: Ensures greater lightness and rigidity.
• NEW REAR SUSPENSION: With more travel and shock adjustment of both compression and rebound. Thanks to the double oil remote reservoir tank the performance is improved, especially in the most challenging circumstances.
• NEW REAR LINKAGE RATIOS: More sensitive and progressive, ensuing better
traction and greater thrust in front of high obstacles.
• NEW PLATE HOLDER KIT INCORPORATING INDICATORS: Greater off-road practicality, finally letting users go riding in full compliance with the highwaycode.
• LANYARD-TYPE KILL SWITCH: For safety in case of a fall.
• BLACK ANODISED BAR END PLUGS: to protect grips and ensure proper throttle operation.
• BLACK ANODIZED ENGINE OIL PLUGS AND CHAIN ADJUSTERS.
• FOOT PEGS: Machined from solid, non-slip steel, ensuring maximum riding grip as well as a significant weight reduction.
• RACING BRAKE DISCS: Deliver more powerful braking, weight savings and a more aggressive look.
• BRAKTEC BRAKE AND CLUTCH PUMPS: For improved brake feel.
• MICHELIN X-LIGHT TIRES
• RED COMBUSTION CHAMBER COVER
• NEW GRAPHICS
