Beta has revolutionized the enduro market with this new XTRAINER 300 an Offroad enduro motorcycle that is compact, light, and easy to handle and ride. The Xtrainer is the only true “all-around” enduro machine in the market today. It is the perfect bike for riders who wish to play, race or just trail ride, without having the intimidation of running a full size enduro machine, it’s also ideal or for the expert rider looking to enhance their technical skills or for older riders making a comeback to racing or just wanting to get out trail riding again and still be competitive.

“What makes the Xtrainer the perfect machine for all is its lightness and the ease of throwing the new 300 around,” said Craig Langton co-owner and sales director of Beta SA and the Cayenne group.

“How often have you heard off road riders saying they need something lighter and easy to handle and complaining about having to pick up the bike and not been able to touch the ground, which is a pretty common happening for off-road, enduro and trail riders the Beta Xtrainer is the answer to all these problems,” said Langton.

Beta 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 enduro riding and a motorcycle that still offers excellent performance and is very competitive while at the same time is easy handle and ride.

Features on the Xtrainer include a smaller delta box frame which provides a lower seat height and a low centre of gravity, added to this is the 43 mm front forks along with a dedicated rear shock and you have a motorcycle that is agile and easy to control which builds rider’s confidence.

The chassis is mated to an engine that is from the popular 300 RR only designed to offer a power that is more linear and progressive making the new 300 more docile, the engineers then added electronically controlled oil injection to provide the perfect oil/fuel mixture thus eliminating the need to premix.

So if you are new to enduro or off-road racing  and need to learn or train or if you want to just improve your enduro technical skills, the Beta Xtrainer is the perfect machine for what you need, the first true all-round enduro machine for everyone.

One must not get confused with the name Xtrainer as it certainly not a training machine this new unit will run with the best of them.
