2024 Beta Alp 4.0 & Alp X
Beta have announced two new dual-purpose model for 2024, in the form of the new Alp 4.0 and Alp X, which they describe as offering plenty of rideability, alongside a unique aesthetic.
The ALP models are built in Italy, at the same factory as the other Beta models, however the engines are sourced via a long-term partner manufacturer in Asia. We believe this particular motor is rated around 35 horsepower.
Beta reckon that the Alp 4.0 is a bit more traditional of the two (for a Beta), while the Alp X is more modern and aimed at those who’ve rediscovered the world of scramblers.
At a glance, that’s represented by the more sporty headlight on the Alp 4.0 and radiator shrouds, where the Alp X runs a single round headlight with a different tank design, and of course the blacked out rims.
Naturally the Alp continues to offer the ability to climb arduous tracks, while being at home on road or for daily urban commutes, ensuring a flexible dual-sport experience.
The 2024 Alp models feature a four-stroke 348 cc EFI DOHC motor that’s paired with a six-speed gearbox and tuned for linear power delivery. Naturally there’s electric start.
Varying terrain shouldn’t be a challenge thanks to a 21 and 18 inch rim combo on the Alp 4.0, with a slightly more road oriented 19 and 17 inch wheel combination on the Alp X.
We also see an 11 litre fuel tank, 43 mm front forks, and a monoshock with adjustable spring pre-load.
Seat height is 865 mm on the Alp 4.0, with a 140 kg dry weight. The Alp X is slightly lower at 855 mm and has less ground clearance, but also weighs in a little heavier at 142 kg. Still, these Beta models undercut most comparable bikes in this segment and should prove light and manageable.
Disc brakes are run front and rear, with a single 290 front and 220 mm at the back.
Pricing and availability are yet to be confirmed for Australia, but both bikes look like attractive dual-sport motorcycles that’ll be well capable off-road.
