As the Beta Xtrainer begins its eleventh year of production, it is being celebrated with a stunning new look featuring grey bodywork to compliment the Italian red frame. The new look separates the look from is cousins, the RR X-Pro and RR Race Edition models.
The Xtrainer has been the number one selling entry-level enduro bike in many countries, this is no surprise due to the ease of riding compared to larger, bulkier enduro models. The bikes overall smaller chassis, low seat height and overall weight makes the bike perfect for not only entry-level enduro riding, but also as a perfect model for those wanting a second bike for play.
The power from the liquid-cooled engine is almost electric-like, providing a seamless power delivery that has just the right amount of power and torque. Rideability has been Beta’s tagline for more than fifteen years and the 2025 Xtrainer is the poster-child of this. The Xtrainer’s lower seat height provides the rider with more confidence. Most riders can touch the ground easily which makes riding much more enjoyable.
Rideability is the key to the Xtrainer’s heritage, below are a few features that make up this amazing enduro model:
- Lighter weight: Lighter and more compact package compared to a full-size Enduro bike, the Xtrainer is designed for riders of all skill levels;
- Seat height: reduced by 20mm compared to the RR range, provides more confidence and safety in tricky conditions;
- Brakes: Same brake package as RR models, Nissin, with discs measuring 260 mm at the front and 240 mm at the rear;
- Battery: Lightweight, high-performance lithium battery;
- Fork and Shock: R16V with 43 mm stanchions at the front and progressive leverage at the rear. The suspension can be fully customised, the fork offering adjustable spring pre-load and rebound while the shock is adjustable in terms of its spring pre-load, compression and rebound dampening and is attached via a progressive linkage;
- Power Valve: The Beta Progressive exhaust valve can be externally adjusted by the rider, allowing engine performance to be effectively adapted to suit every kind of usage;
- Ignition Map switch with handlebar button: Two positions, (Sun or Rain) which adjusts the engine power as needed. Sun mode is the quicker engine map. The rain mode slows down the engine roughly 20% for improved traction and control in wet conditions;

- Cooling fan: A cooling fan is mounted as standard equipment on all Xtrainer models to ensure the engine always maintains the ideal running temperature, even on slower trails;
- Electric starter: Precise and reliable, essential when restarting the bike in tricky situations. An optional back-up kick starter is available;
