the improvements that the bike received in the previous 2023 model year (rear subframe, intake system, lithium battery, larger fuel tank and new plastic components), the main innovation in this model is the innovative electronic key, a brand-new feature on a Beta.• Electronic key: a magnetic “kill-switch”-type key. The device represents an absolute innovation both for Beta and for the entire enduro world. The new electronic key is a security system that simultaneously performs both the function of an anti-theft device, offers motorbike and rider protection, and is an exclusive European Patent registered by Betamotor (EP3064405B1). It consists of two parts: one that remains fixed to the handlebars and another, magnetic (wearable by the rider with a wrist strap), which is disconnected to activate the mechanism.Anti-theft function: as in the automotive world, the device precludes the possibility of starting the engine when disconnected, thanks to its code system that uniquely matches the key to the motorbike, deterring theft of the vehicle when left unattended. This adds additional security protection on top of the existing steering lock.Greater safety level for the rider and motorcycle: with a similar function to the “Kill-Switch” device, the motorcycle is switched off when the magnetic contact point connected to the rider’s wrist and the motorbike handlebar becomes disconnected. Shutting off the bike prevents damage to the engine in the event of a fall, and provides greater safety for the rider if they should lose control, or the bike is on the ground with the throttle open. Greater protection for the bike and rider, in a single solution, exclusively developed by Betamotor.In addition, the following components are updated on the 2024 Xtrainer:• Seat: the foam making up the seat has a different geometry and density to provide greater rider comfort, as with the RR family of bikes. The greater support area and different composition of the materials significantly increases the comfort of the Xtrainer while riding.• Graphics: the new graphics are reminiscent of the bike’s larger siblings. The iconic Beta red is accompanied by contrasting black and white elements in continuity with the style that the bike received with the previous MY’s restyling, but now even more customised, geometric and easily recognisable.
