Beta’s Evo range is confirmed for 2024 as one of the most competitive, attractive and extensive in the Trial category, with no less than six different models capable of satisfying the diverse needs of all riders. The novelties introduced with the 2023 model are reconfirmed, but the aesthetic impact is updated with a new graphic that breaks with the tradition of Beta red. The 2024 version of the Evo can therefore be recognized by the original graphics with a racing spirit, but at the same time elegant.
The red is used to finish off the gray base rather than as the main element and highlights the volumes of the bike. The frame and swingarm remain in aluminum to underline the connection with the racing world. The main novelty from the point of view of technical equipment concerns the introduction of the electronic key which plays a dual role, combining the innovative anti-theft function with the more classic use for the passive safety of the bike and the rider, typically represented by the “Kill-Switch”.
The new electronic device is an exclusive European patent registered by Betamotor (EP3064405B1) and performs the function of anti-theft device and protection of the motorcycle and rider at the same time. The electronic key is made up of two parts: one that is fixed to the vehicle’s handlebars and another, magnetic part (which the rider can wear with a bracelet), which can be detached to activate the mechanism. The device, which was recently introduced for the first time on a Beta model with the Xtrainer My 24, performs the function of a “Kill-Switch” device for the safety of the bike and the rider, switching off the bike when the magnetic contact point attached to the rider’s wrist and handlebars disconnects.
However, unlike a normal “Kill-Switch”, the new electronic key also incorporates the function of an anti-theft device, preventing the engine from being started when switched off, due to an encryption that exclusively associates the key with the motorcycle, preventing the vehicle from being stolen when left unattended.
