With 2025 approaching soon, Beta USA would like to invite riders of all disciplines to discover the wonderful sport of Trial with the introduction of the 2025 Evo Trial range. The EVO-lution of this model continues with updates to the front fork as well as an all-new rear shock, providing a more refined ride that Beta riders are accustomed to.
Engine updates include a new combustion chamber to improve the low-range torque and power delivery to further enhance what has already been called “the best engine in Trial.”
The sport of trial has been proven to enhance riding skills for all other off-road and on-road riding disciplines, making a Trial bike a perfect “second bike” to ride. Trial offers a quiet, low-impact riding condition that is fun for all ages. The sport has been known to let the rider decide how much he or she wishes to be challenged, as one could play ride openly in a small area with friends or sign up for a local event and select a class for the ultimate trial riding experience.
Beta offers the largest range of trial motorcycles in the world, starting with the proven Evo 80, available in two-wheel sizes. The larger frame models include the 125, 200, 250 and 300. There are three versions of the 300cc models, including the tried-and-true Evo 300, the softer power of the 300 SS or the quiet and torquey performance of the Evo 300 four-stroke. Below are some examples to help narrow down your choice.
80 (Jr. and Sr.)
Perfect for young riders, the Evo 80 Jr. is suggested for riders between the ages of 9 and 11. The Sr. model has full-size wheels in a smaller chassis and has a suggested age range of 11 to 15; however, some smaller adults will also find this model to be the perfect choice for starting out.
125/200
These full-size models share the same chassis specifications as the 250 and 300 versions but arrive with a chrome-tube front fork and smaller engines. These models are perfect for riders starting out, due to their forgiving power delivery that will not overwhelm them. The Evo 200 is the only one in the class and offers a lightweight feel but with added torque.
250/300 SS
Both models are perfect for the Clubman rider. This is a class where most current motocross and off-road racers will compete at the local level. The Evo 250 and the 300 SS (which stands for Super Smooth) have similar power delivery characteristics with the SS model, providing 20% more torque with less over-rev vs. the 250.
300
This is the number-one-selling trial model in the world: a proven bike that can be play-ridden or competed on at the highest level of the sport. The exceptional power delivery offers a broad range power delivery as well as a very light feel while in the section. The Evo 300 is a staple in the trial world.
300 4-Stroke
For those who like thumpers, the Evo 300 4-Stroke is the bike of choice. Over 8 pounds lighter than the other brands’ four-strokes as well as a tighter turning radius, the Evo 300 4-Stroke is known for being a more gentle bike to ride while also being “whisper quiet.” The bulletproof engine design is easy to work on and will provide years of trial fun.
New Features (Excluding Evo 80)
The 2025 EVO fork on the 250 and 300 features a new look with 39-millimeter tubes, 1 millimeter larger than the previous model. Produced by Ollé, the new fork provides an increase in the torsional rigidity at the front wheel, improving the precision and ease of the bike’s ride. A single-sided spring fork, with the right tube containing the fork spring, allows the fork to react quicker over the rocks and other section hazards. The spring preload can be adjusted as well to suit the rider’s needs. The other fork leg contains an all-new inner cartridge that is 2 millimeters larger than the previous model. This new system can be adjusted as well to control the oil flow through the valving. The combination allows riders to fine-tune their front forks depending on conditions.
The reason for this change was to increase the rigidity of the front fork while at the same time reducing weight by using a special steel tube that is thinner in construction than the previous fork. This has also allowed a greater volume inside the fork tube to improve the oil flow rates, which provides a more progressive response to compression and greater precision in the customization of the settings.
The black surface treatment ensures the smoothest possible sliding, as well as a high-quality aesthetic appearance.
The rear shock is also all-new, once again from Ollé, with a body made entirely from aluminum to keep the weight down. The new single shock has a 36-millimeter piston derived from the Evo Factory model and is also made from hard-anodized aluminum, ensuring smooth sliding and durability. Like the fork, the shock is also completely adjustable in terms of preload via the traditional preload adjusters, as well as full hydraulic adjustment for rebound and overall oil flow.
The new suspension features provide a more progressive response for the bike in compression and improved rebound management, simplifying “floating” between rocks and the ability to absorb significant impacts, such as landing after jumping large obstacles. The end-of-travel buffering has also been optimized with the greatest focus on correct support during descent to guarantee maximum grip of the front tire on the terrain.
Standard Features
Full Size Evo Models (Excluding Evo 80)
- Hydro-formed aluminum frame with built-in fuel cell: Strong and rigid, providing the perfect rider feedback while offering the tightest turning radius in the industry. The rear swing-arm is also made from hydro-formed aluminum.
- Tubeless rear tire: Provides sidewall flex while running very low tire pressures for added grip. Turn-buckle spoke nipples eliminate the rim strip for easier tire changes.
- Electronic key: The key is composed of two parts: One part remains fastened to the bike’s handlebars, while the other is magnetic (worn by the rider with a cord around his or her wrist), activating a mechanism in the event of being disconnected, functioning as a “kill-switch”. Unlike a normal kill switch, the new electronic key also incorporates an anti-theft function, preventing the bike from being started when disconnected, thanks to coding that uniquely links the bike to the key, protecting against theft of the vehicle when it is left unattended.
- Plastic and airbox: Minimal plastic pieces to reduce weight, including a formed tank cover that provides the proper routing of all cables and wires. The one-piece rear fender has an access lid for a quick air filter change. All new colors for the 2025 models are in Italian Red.
2-Stroke Engine: 250/300
- Six-speed transmission: The first three speeds are designed for trial use while fourth through sixth are used for the loop riding in between sections. (Evo 4-Stroke has a five-speed transmission.)
- Suspension: Updated front and rear suspension for 2025. Both the front fork and rear shock have adjustments for spring pre-load as well as overall dampening adjustments. The 250 and 300 models come with black hard-coated front fork tubes for less stiction.
- Engine map switch: Mounted on the tank cover, two settings, including rain or sun mode, provide the perfect power depending on the conditions.
- Exhaust system: Contoured stainless steel head pipe with aluminum silencer. A spark arrestor is available as an option.
