New features introduced across the entire range include:
» Radiator grill: A complete redesign. As well as optimizing the airflow directed to the radiator, it also boasts a greater protective surface in the cap and radiator body area, to prevent these components from sustaining damage when in contact with branches, rocks, or in the case of a fall.
» Tank cover: with a new design the shape better flows with the frame and allows all the cable routing to be covered for a clean and more orderly look. This new form also effectively incorporates the mapping switch. The EVO 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 avoiding being accidentally pushed while riding. Also, an LED indicator lets the rider immediately identify which map is currently in use.
» Graphics: the bike's look and performance are accentuated in equal measure with the latest EVO update. These graphics, along with the bare aluminum swingarm ensure an elegantly natural look reminiscent of the racing world. The frame is painted in distinctive Beta red to accentuate the beauty of the hydro-formed aluminum structure, a hallmark feature of the EVO. The filter box is now black again but remains the same functionally speaking, as does the dedicated TwinAir foam filter. The lower fork sliders are now in characteristic Beta red as well.
» Domino grips: achieving maximum freedom of movement on the bike also means having stable and comfortable handholds on the vehicle. The new Beta-customized Domino grips ensure comfort and grip providing the rider with a solid grip. Black levers emphasize the refined look.
» New shock setting: the EVO shock comes complete with all the adjustments a rider needs to tailor the bike and identify the ideal set-up but, in order to enhance the Rideability. Beta technicians with the help of the factory team riders have harnessed their experience to implement a series of setting updates to boost the progressiveness, responsiveness, and damping. As for the fork, the settings and quantity of oil contained in the two stanchions have been revised in order to boost the progressive response during the most extreme drops. With the left and right-hand stanchions differing both functionally and in internal volume, the left-hand side features adjustable spring length, for setting ride height, while the hydraulic functions of the fork are settable on the right-hand stanchion, for customizing the damping behavior and responsiveness of the front end. By using different oil volumes calibrated specifically for the left and right-hand stanchions, both the progressiveness of the fork and the precision with which feel is transmitted to the rider have been improved. As for the shock, and in order to improve the bike's traction, Beta has worked on the setting, boosting reactivity during the rebound phase. This allows EVO to offer the rider a greater sense of lightness, particularly when 'hopping' to reposition between obstacles.
» Tires: Michelin Trial Light at the front and Michelin Trial X-Light Competition at the rear are the choice for professional riders who experience a heightened sense of grip with this extremely lightweight tire, which marries perfectly with the precision and handling typical of Beta models.
