The Evo 300 4T Factory boasts an engine capacity of 297.3cc, and strikes the perfect balance between performance, tractable engine power and overall usability. This engine embraces a completely different approach to riding than its 2-stroke siblings. With plenty of torque and linear power delivery that only a 4-stroke can deliver, many riders will find the power delivery refreshing compared to the more powerful 2-stroke models.
Powered by a lightened 297.3cc Four-Stroke Engine, and a 6-speed manual transmission. A magnesium crankcase and titanium headers make the bike more manageable with weight reductions of over 1.35kg compared to the EVO models. It is also equipped with a lightweight titanium silencer. The 4T Evo Factory also benefits from a new electronic control unit which recieves a higher power rating. This translates to an improved spark stability and improved combustion at all engine speeds.
The mapping switch is also located inside it which offers a choice of two different engine maps that the rider can select with a convenient button on the tank cover. This location makes the button easy to reach while offering protection against knocks and unintentional operation, while an LED indicator lets the rider immediately identify which map is currently in use.
38mm Gold Front Forks and an Evo rear shock comes complete with all the adjustments a rider needs to tailor the bike and identify the ideal setup but, with the latest evolutionary step implemented, the bike is significantly improved in terms of its progressiveness, responsiveness and damping.
The Gold colour is a result of a TIN treatment, allowing for smoother sliding of the fork. Continuous refinement of the settings ensures a suspension package that is top of the rage for the trial bike sector.
A 185mm Galfer Racing disc with a 4 piston caliper make up the front brake setup, while a Galfer Racing 160mm disc and 2 piston caliper keeps the rear under control. The Galfer Racing discs offer maximum braking power at an extremely light weight. The lower unsprung mass maximises the bike’s rideability.
This new electronic device holds an exclusive European patent awarded to Betamotor (EP3064405B1), and provides an anti-theft function, as well as protecting the bike and its rider. The electronic key is a two-part component: 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.
The new electronic key also incorporates an anti-theft function, preventing the bike from being started when disconnected, thanks to coding which uniquely links the bike to the key, protecting against theft of the vehicle when it is left unattended.
Aside from the crankcase and exhaust changes, the Evo Factory makes a statement with black anodised engine oil plugs, blue anodised steering yokes from billet aluminium, black anodised chain adjusters, handlebar end plugs, and footpegs, red silicone radiator hoses, blue anodised Morad wheels, iconic Beta red and blue colour scheme, and Michelin X-light tyres.
