Ground Breaking X Trainer

Introduced in 2015, the Beta X Trainer is somewhat of a "man for all seasons". Physically shorter in wheelbase, lower in seat height, and lighter in weight than the 250 and 300RRs, the X Trainer is the perfect mount for the inseam challenged, younger riders, and those looking to get a foot down in difficult terrain. The X Trainer engine is based off of the award-winning 300RR, but tuned specifically for a torquey, easy-to-ride character. Starting is electric, oil injection is standard, as is a cooling fan for the slow going.
