August 31, 20187 yr Actually I'm waiting to see an electric version. Especially since I burned the **** out of my leg on the header of my '18 two weeks ago. Still looks like I got a skin graft from Voldamort.
September 2, 20187 yr Saw one today at Silsden. Black plastics are now red, bold new graphics, and some of the wiring shizzle has moved. Beta are really taking the "Evo" name literally.
September 2, 20187 yr Did they move the CDI to a less vulnerable spot and the regulator to a less idiotic spot?
September 3, 20187 yr Author Are there some where pictures from the 2019 colours/models? Greathings, Luc

September 5, 20187 yr New cam profile for the 300 throttle,but unless they did it last year(or the year before) they appear to have dropped the 250 4/, I've had my 250 4/ a long time and don't plan on a change,even with bold new graffix. Edited September 5, 20187 yr by retromlc
September 7, 20187 yr Reading between the lines, Beta has put about a month worth of development work by the suspension department into the 2019. All of which is transferrable to the next bike. Nothing else warrants the claim of hard work. At least nothing on this bike. I think we see the final year of the EVO. If 2019 sales dog we will probably see an early announcement next year of the new design. Either that or Beta is making enough money on the enduro market to dump trials bikes. I’ve written enough datasheets and press releases to know a placeholder when I see it.
September 7, 20187 yr This is of course a “privileged glimpse of the obvious”’. GasGas is back and TRS and Vertigo are eating market share and electric bikes are soon to be a common sight. Beta is overdue for a refresh.
September 8, 20187 yr Maybe Beta have it right - they seem to sell very well in the clubman market, which has to be bigger than the would be trials ace market that must have the latest thing. Perhaps the clubman prefers consistency rather than big change. There's a lot to be said for a proven machine, notwithstanding some comparatively minor but well known issues. I daresay the UK importer has a lot to do with it as they seem to be highly regarded for customer service compared to other importers. Edited September 8, 20187 yr by 2stroke4stroke
September 9, 20187 yr Well I have been on Betas since ‘89. They have been good to me but I have no problem pointing out their foibles.? They are, after all, just a machine.
