2008 Beta Alp 200

2008 Beta Alp photos

New model 200 Alp
 
New chassis - slim & light.

Quickly converts to trials spec.

Everything unbolts including seat & tank cover - see pics above.
Beta have done a really good job on this Mk2 Alp 200. Its lighter, slimmer and is easy to change to a more trial style set-up. All the "street stuff" unbolts.  Suspension seems softer,
particularly the rear which a great improvement. This one came with Pirelli MT43s fitted and an extra grafics kit for the trials mudguard that lives under the saddle.
200cc Suzuki electric start engine.
More info soon .......£t.b.a.

2008 Beta Alp 4.0

Beta presents the new Alp 4.0, a real factotum-vehicle. This 100% versatile bike is approved for mounting, both enduro tyres (on production models) for amazing trips on the paths through mountains and woods, or road tyres to bite the traffic of the town.

Its engine is a real 350cc 4-stroke classic: simple and created to last, absolutely reliable and perfectly faithful to the 4.0’s nature: excellent performances with no excessiveness.

Even the frame respects this principles: a solid steel chassis, simple and essential and an adjustable rear shock absorber assuring a good comfort on every roadbed. The disk brakes with a double-piston calipers assure a reliable and vigorous breaking. For this year it is even newer and more exciting: plastics with a new modern and sophisticated design, a new better-looking and more efficient headlamp unit, a new exhaust system, and two brand new paint-and-graphics schemes for 2008: White Pearl, Orange-Gray
