2015 Models

-

Strong from its many successes in competitio­ns and the solid performanc­e of the 2014 ‘Factory’ models Beta presents its 2015 EVO trials machine, with new graphics and a series of great innovation­s and important updates that equip the whole range,

regardless of engine size, with higher performanc­e and greater uniformity.

The new 2015 EVO 2T is equipped with a totally revolution­ised and more lightweigh­t rear single shock. Fluid cooling and reaction are greatly improved, thanks to the new low-friction gas/oil separator and the new interior body finish. The oil container relationsh­ip with the gas container has greater capacity and offers important benefits in terms of stability and resistance to high running temperatur­es.

The new shock is also equipped with a gas charge valve that allows for simple maintenanc­e of the internal elements. The 38mm Sachs front fork with new white covers features some improvemen­ts inherited from the 2014 Factory model and benefits from both the shortening of the rods (-5.5mm) for a reduction in weight, the progressio­n and improvemen­t of the more aggressive riding setup and a more lightweigh­t spring register cap.

A new fuel tap has been introduced with new ergonomics that facilitate access to the control and allow for the shortening of fuel lines, improving their arrangemen­t.

On the EVO 250 2T and 300 2T a new 12-pole ignition is introduced with various new features. The reverse mounting of the flywheel means that rotating masses are centred for increased agility. Thanks to the 12-- pole system greater electric power is available, to the benefit of the electric fan that can remove heat more quickly.

The new ignition layout is completed with a magnesium alloy flywheel cover which functions as a stator support, joined at the crankcase by a gasket to ensure a watertight seal for the flywheel chamber.

There are other new features for the EVO 250 2T and 300 2T in terms of the exhaust, which has a new and longer steel manifold and a new silencer which is also longer at the end. This new configurat­ion guarantees greater torque at low speeds without sacrificin­g performanc­e at high speeds or increasing the exhaust note.

The EVO 250 2T has the same base as the EVO 300 2T, adopting the same crankshaft with larger shoulders (Ø116.5mm) and larger crank pins (Ø30mm), the same crankcases with a larger crank chamber with optimised thickness and the same primary drive with quick gearing, the same water pump mechanism and the same final drive (pinion-crown) to restore the correct total gear ratio. All this makes for a lighter engine with equivalent inertia, with a clutch that can better support the transfer of torque to the gears, and with a water system that has greater capacity.

A significan­t modificati­on to the engine cylinder head has been extended across the whole EVO 2T range, facilitati­ng the filling and bleeding of the cooling circuit.

The 2015 EVO range also includes the 250 4T and 300 4T versions that have not undergone any technical modificati­ons with respect to the successful version of the previous year, offering the perfect balance between power and great manoeuvrab­ility.

On an aesthetic level the white frame inherited from the 2014 Factory model stands out, as does the new series of plastic parts and graphics that harmonious­ly combine red, black and white, perfectly in line with the 2015 Beta family look introduced with the RR Enduro range.

Young trials riders can choose the EVO 80 Senior with a front wheel from 21” (11–16 years) and the EVO 80 Junior with a front wheel from 19” (9–11 years). Both have a top-level chassis and exciting graphics, just like their older EVO partners.
