2026 Beta XTrainer range breaks cover

2026 Beta XTrainer 250 & Beta XTrainer 300

For 2026 (MY26), Beta has updated its XTrainer models with a fresh new look, featuring the brand’s distinctive ‘Total Grey’ styling across the Rignano sull’Arno-built range.

Notably for MY26, the XTrainer features a completely new 250 two-stroke engine, derived from the recent technical advancements introduced in the RR 250 XPRO 2T and specifically tuned to suit the milder character of the XTrainer.

Thanks to its exceptional engine smoothness and Beta’s renowned rideability, the XTrainer continues to meet the needs of riders seeking a high-performance machine that remains easy to handle and highly practical—ideal for tackling the varied challenges of off-road riding with confidence and control.

Inspired by trials riding, the XTrainer range delivers a compact sub-100 kg package designed to instil confidence in a wide range of enduro riders. Whether you’re an amateur in search of a first bike, a seasoned rider looking for something less demanding, or an expert seeking a capable extreme enduro companion, the XTrainer is engineered to meet a diverse array of needs.

With a lower seat height than conventional full-size enduro models, a slim midsection, and a broad, tractable power delivery, the XTrainer is adept at maintaining precise lines while excelling on slower, more technical terrain. It leverages its trials heritage and the strong, torquey performance of Beta’s proven 250 or 300cc two-stroke engines to deliver confidence-inspiring control in demanding conditions.

2026 Beta XTrainer features

• Lightweight – At just 99 kg (dry), the XTrainer is an extremely agile motorcycle, even for novices, a bike that is easier to manoeuvre at slow speeds and requires less energy from the rider. This enhances the riding experience.
• Seat height – Reduced by 20 mm compared to the RR X-PRO range, to allow many riders to have more comfortable footing in most situations.
• Brakes – 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 linkage system at the rear. The suspension is fully adjustable, the fork offering adjustable spring preload and rebound, and the shock is adjustable in terms of its spring pre-load, compression and rebound.
• Power delivery – Smooth and linear, full-bodied and powerful.
• Beta Progressive Valve – The Beta Progressive exhaust valve can be adjusted by the rider from an easy external adjuster, allowing engine performance to be adapted to suit a range of riding. Turn the adjuster inward for slower speeds, turn the adjust out for more free-rev fun.
• Map switch mounted on the handlebar – Rain or sun modes can be changed on the fly, to compliment the progressive valve.
• Tank –  8.5 litre transparent tank.
• Automatic oil injection – Located beneath the seat (which is easily opened at the touch of a button), it does away with the need for oil-fuel premix.
• Soft tyres – Their soft compound and aggressive design guarantees grip in every situation, the rider benefits from responses that are less twitchy compared to a tyre with a stiffer carcass.
• Cooling fan – The fan is mounted as standard on XTrainer, to ensure the engine always maintains the ideal running temperature, even on slower trails. A thermoswitch controls the fan so no rider input is needed.
• Electric starter – Precise and reliable, essential when restarting the bike in tricky situations.
• Engine and clutch – Derived from the RR X-PRO model range, no corners are cut with the Xtrainer, a diaphragm clutch along with a six-speed transmission complete the package.

For MY26, Betamotor engineers introduced a set of aesthetic and functional updates. Specifically:

• Graphics – The plastics retains the beloved grey colour, updated with modern and vibrant graphics, and contemporary white finishes that stand out and embrace its character.
• Taillight – XTrainer gets a new LED taillight, more modern and sturdier than the previous model;
• Speedometer – The MY26 range is equipped with a new speedometer, which is larger, easier to read and more robust. This new speedometer provides the rider with the same information such as speed, distance, trip meter, and low oil warning;
• 250 2T engine –  The 250cc engine was subjected to a series of internal updates to make its behaviour more similar to its big sister, the 300cc.
  • This was achieved by employing a crankshaft with a reduced stroke (which is now the same on the 250 and the 300cc), with a consequent increased bore size compared to the previous model.
  • The new engine is completed by an updated head with a different combustion chamber and a new cylinder with modified transfer port geometry.
  • Following these updates, the torque and linear power delivery of the 250 cc is significantly increased, without affecting the overall performance, and also positively enhancing the motorcycle’s handling, with centralised weight and lowered centre of gravity. Plus, the new crankcase houses larger and sturdier main bearings.
• Transmission ratios – First introduced in the RR X-PRO, the second gear was significantly updated to provide more range of use. This has increased the smoothness when switching to the third gear. (This update was made on both the 250 and the 300 2T models).

The 2026 Beta XTrainer 250 & Beta XTrainer 300 models are due in October of 2025, with pricing to be confirmed closer to arrival.
