BETA EVO FACTORY MY 2020
Compared to the standard version which has already introduced numerous design and improvements the ‘Factory’ version adds a whole series of
components. Four engine options are available: three two-stroke versions 125, 250 and 300cc and one four-stroke version 300cc.
Engine: The ‘Factory’ engines differ from standard version power units as follows. Two-Stroke: Black magnesium casings – a more appealing look and greater weight savings; Titanium manifold – with a conical cylinder connector (125 cc only) which boosts performance and reduces weight; Profiled clutch discs ensure clutch precision under all riding conditions; Cylinder with optimized timing charts – this brings out the full racing character of the engine without affecting user-friendliness; Cylinder head with specially designed volume and squish (300 cc only) – for a further performance boost; Optimized control unit mappings – these ensure excellent low-rev handling without compromising mid-high rev performance. Four-Stroke: The 300cc features a lighter, even higher-performing titanium silencer and a new electronic control unit. This increases sparking stability thanks to higher electrical power and consequently improves combustion throughout the rev range.
Chassis: From a design and chassis viewpoint the new ‘Factory’ model differs from the standard version as follows. Front Fork with re-calibrated fork hydraulics and compression adjustment – these ensure an optimal setting whatever the conditions; Gold anodized machined-from-solid triple clamp – besides reducing weight and increasing stiffness it lets the rider shift the handlebar risers forwards or backwards to adjust machine set-up to perfection; Rear suspension with longer wheelbase and adjustment of both compression and rebound – more progressive hydraulics allows for a more refined set-up that provides benefits in terms of pre-obstacle compression and lift-off; Rear suspension with new hydraulic settings – this provides much greater low-speed control which aids balance and stability while riding; Rear suspension with new 'spring guide' geometry – increases high-impact absorption through greater flexibility of the shock absorber plug which now features a bigger containment space; Linkage progression – even more sensitive and progressive, ensuring better responsiveness and traction; Lanyard-type kill switch – ensures even greater riding safety; Black anodized bar end plugs – protect the grips and throttle; Black anodized chain adjusters – make chain tension adjustments extremely precise; Machined-from-solid foot pegs in non-slip steel – besides clearly improving boot grip, these ensure significant weight reduction. Galfer racing brake discs – deliver more powerful braking, weight savings and a 'Racing' look; BrakTec brake and clutch cylinder – for improved braking; Black anodized brake and clutch cylinder covers; Rear brake caliper with brake pad anti-vibration system; New gold Excel rims; Michelin X-light tyres – maximise grip whatever the riding conditions; New look and new decal graphics – the racing spirit of this bike is enhanced by new graphics in the Beta Factory colors of red, white and blue, with gold trims.
