Press Release | January 29, 2024
Beta unveiled its complete line of Evo Factory trials motorcycles, which are upgraded versions of the standard Evo models. Some of those upgrades included new machined triple clamps, higher-quality brakes and different coloring in certain areas.
The new Evo Factory 2024 models are also equipped for the first time with the new Beta electronic key, which includes an anti-theft function.
There are four Evo Factory models offered: 125cc ($8199), 200cc ($8599), 250cc ($8799), 300cc ($8999) and 300 Four-Stroke ($9490).
Availability for all models is March.
Here is more information from Beta’s press release:
The EVO Factory models represent the racing EVOlution of Beta’s trial bikes and, as usual, are being launched on the market in February, just before the start of the racing season, ready to compete at the highest levels.
The excellence in performance and Rideability of the EVO Factory model is evident by the results of those who compete on it. George Hemingway’s World Championship (TR3 125), alongside the excellent results of Matteo Grattarola (TrialGP) and Andrea Sofia Rabino (GP Women’s), as well as the respective victories in national championships earned while riding an EVO Factory motorcycle.
For the 2024 models, some updates have been made to refine the motorcycle while maintaining its racing pedigree.
ENGINE
The differences between the engines equipping Factory versions and standard versions are as follows:
2-stroke
» Magnesium crankcase with black finish: featuring a particularly eye-catching design, this component provides a weight reduction of 3 lbs, to further maximize the agility of the bike.
» Trimmed clutch discs: created specifically to maximize clutch precision and controllability in every possible situation and to make the most extreme repetitive actions easier to manage even at high RPM, such as big obstacles and rear wheel hops. This ensures extreme precision every time.
» Black anodized engine oil plugs.
» Titanium exhaust: on the 250/300 models this provides a weight reduction of over 1.25lbs, as well as ensures greater performance at medium-high engine speeds thanks to its greater internal diameter.
The EVO Factory 125’s exhaust, once again made of titanium, stands out from that of the larger engine sizes due to its internal structure, with an initial conical section (cylinder side) providing an increase in torque and acceleration at low RPMs.
Like on the 2024 standard EVO models, the recently introduced new crankshaft and connecting rod reduces the crankcase volume on the 250 and 300 2-stroke models. An updated piston completes the new package providing an even more refined power delivery.
The EVO Factory models are equipped with higher-performance engines than the standard EVO models. Due to the reduced crankcase weight, the titanium header, and reduced alternating masses, the bike is more manageable, while the engines provide improved performance and Rideability, reaching another level of power and responsiveness. The handling is top of their class, and vibration is minimized.
4-stroke
The 4-stroke Factory variant also benefits from a series of upgrades over the standard EVO version. The electronic control unit receives a higher power rating, which translates to improved spark stability and improved combustion at all engine speeds. In order to provide an outlet for the greater available power, the EVO Factory 4-stroke is also equipped with a lighter weight and higher performance titanium silencer.

FRAME AND SUSPENSION
In terms of the frame and design, the new Evo Factory models differ from the standard version as follows:
» Gold Front Forks: the 2024 Evo Factory is confirmed to have gold forks, which provide the model with both aesthetic and functional benefits. The gold color is the result of a TiN treatment, allowing for smoother sliding of the fork, whose hydraulic management remains entrusted to the recently introduced internal damping system. The continuous refinement of the settings ensures a suspension package that is at the top of the range in the trial bike sector, thanks in no small part to its combination with the mono-shock that has an optimized spring guide geometry (with red spring).
» Progressive linkage: the configuration of the rear suspension linkage is more progressive, in order to ensure greater traction and provide a superior feel to the rider. This facilitates wheelies and helps overcome large obstacles.
» New Triple Clamps: machined from billets with blue anodized finish: providing stiffness and lightness (weighing around 100 g less than standard models), they also feature fore-aft adjustable handlebar brackets to let the rider find their ideal position. The new color introduced for the 2024 models also lends the bike a zero-compromise appearance.
» Chain adjusters, handlebar end plugs, and footpegs with black anodized finish: the footpegs are durable, lightweight components, with the non-slip steel pins ensuring maximum grip.
» Version-specific radiator hoses in red silicone: offering improved cooling performance, these components also give the bike a thoroughbred racing look.
» Galfer racing brake discs: these discs offer maximum braking power and are extremely lightweight, which contributes to reducing unsprung mass and maximizes the bike’s rideability.
» BrakTec brake and clutch master cylinders.
» Rear brake caliper with anti-vibration system for pads.
» New blue anodized Morad wheels
» Michelin X-light tires: leader in the sector in terms of weight, performance, and grip in all situations.
» New graphics: red and blue have always been the colors used for Beta’s race-ready models, and this new EVO Factory does not disappoint. The Beta red of the plastic parts and decals is perfectly paired with the details and elegant new components in Ergal blue. The model’s look is further enhanced by the new matte-gloss graphics, with the matte red parts contrasting with the glossy blue and white.

The new Evo Factory 2024 models are also equipped for the first time with the new Beta electronic key:
» Electronic key: the traditional “Kill-switch” has been replaced with Betamotor’s new patented electronic key. It is a magnetic lanyard-type kill switch, which provides both the function of theft protection and that of protecting the bike and driver, for which Betamotor holds an exclusive European patent (EP3064405B1). The key is a two-part component, like the device it replaces: one part remains fastened to the bike’s handlebars, while the other is magnetic (worn by the rider with a cord around their wrist), activating a mechanism in the event they are disconnected; however, it differs due to its univocal coding linking the two parts, providing anti-theft functionality.
» Anti-theft function: the key prevents the engine from being started when it is disconnected, thanks to coding that links it to the bike’s ignition, discouraging theft of the bike when its left unattended.
» Passive bike and rider safety: operating in the same manner as a traditional “Kill-Switch”, the bike is shut off when the magnetic point of contact is connected to the rider’s wrist and the bike’s handlebar is disconnected.
Greater protection for the bike and rider, in a single solution exclusively patented by Beta.
