The 2023 racing season is drawing to a close, and the Beta Factory Trial Team is determined to achieve the best possible results with its riders, who are competing in all World Championship categories: like Matteo Grattarola, who is proving his ability in the top class following his return to the Beta team for the remainder of the 2023 season.
The tried and tested technical package, provided by the manufacturer from Rignano sull’Arno, Italy to its riders and all enthusiasts of the brand, which has seen advances over time thanks to feedback from Factory Riders, has confirmed itself to be a winner, and is returning to the market with the addition of a new functional component – the electronic key.
The larger volume Beta 2T engines have undergone significant updates, all implemented in order to improve vehicle performance and rideability, in line with the Beta philosophy. The new components equipping the EVO 2023 include:
• Crankshaft and piston rod, the latter with an interaxle spacing that is reduced by 1.5 mm for a length of 114.5 mm. These new components offer multiple benefits, both on the performance side, for more rounded delivery, and in terms of the vehicle's dynamics. The bike is more manageable thanks to a reduction in its weight and alternating masses. Handling is improved while vibration is reduced.
• Cylinder: brand new. For this component, the timing has been revised to improve the torque at low engine speeds, while the overall weight is reduced.
• Cylinder head: The new combustion chamber improves delivery at low speeds, making it more progressive and tractable, while retaining the same engine performance at mid-high speeds.
• Engine map: the engine mapping has been optimised, particularly the ignition map, in order to set up the components in the best possible way and exploit the power and tractability for which they stand out.
• Exhaust manifold: a manifold protection has been installed to avoid any overheating and to protect the manifold from impacts. As well as being functional, this rounds out the bike's overall look. (Also mounted on 125 2T).
