Beta have announced details of the 2008 4-stroke model
-
New fork settings. Optimisation of the oil-flow has made the forks more
sensitive in absorbing the bumps as well as more reactive on the rebound, to
facilitate acrobatic manoeuvres or simple movements of the front wheel.
-
New dedicated shockabsorber settings to suit the cycle parts and the power
delivery of the 4-stroke engine.
-
New electric fuel tap: more practical, results in better mechanical
accessibility and increased reliability.
-
New hot start knob integrated into the carburettor union: immediate and easy
accessibility improves practicality in starting the engine from hot. It is
also less cumbersome and less vulnerable to crash damage than the earlier
lever on the handlebar.
-
New pressure-cast casings: these provide optimised design at the bottom end of
the bike, to make a better match with the stoneguard rubber and casing.
-
New outer clutch cover with five-bolt fixing for a better seal. New position
for the oil filler plug: improved access to facilitate maintenance operations.
-
New design for the clutch cover with the addition of lateral grooves to
facilitate removal of the clutch: greater practicality during maintenance.
-
New exhaust pipe with reduced metal thickness (1 mm): greater performance
under acceleration together with a substantial weight reduction (-150 grams).
-
Euro3 homologation.
-
New colour-scheme: a brand-new mix of black and fluorescent red
These bikes will be available early October with pricing roughly the same as
the 2007 model.
