l05tb0y Posted August 14, 2014 Report Share Posted August 14, 2014 Hi, can anyone tell me the correct name for the Beta Evo Factory light version. The one with red yokes and red hoses and things, and is a bit lighter than the usual Beta factory. If you know what I mean. I just want to know what to type in for when im looking for one. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vonhazza Posted August 15, 2014 Report Share Posted August 15, 2014 Hi there, Beta Evo Factory and the year should get you there, the standard model is not called Factory but they do have some parts on them that may be branded Factory on them, eg, Flywheel cover & Foot pegs ect.

rthomastx Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 Unless the bike's are spec'd differently in the UK I'm not aware of separate Factory and Factory Light versions - at least as far as the 2014's are concerned. In the US all 2014 Factory's have magnesium engine cases. Per Beta this saves 2 Kg over the standard cases. In addition the '14 Factory bikes come equipped with Michelin Trial X-Light Competition tires and a titanium header pipe as standard. Since the Factory versions are about 5 pounds lighter than the standard Evo's I reckon these are the primary differences that account for the weight savings. So saying, part of the confusion is probably the result of Beta releasing pictures of the Factory models shown with optional (and included) accessories installed. For instance, the red billet yokes. The bike ships with these same yokes but they are anodized black. Most pictures depict the bike with red aluminum bar ends. These come in box full of accessories which include a magnetic lanyard, rear view mirror, a horn kit, a cheesy bicycle speedo, and stickers for the wheel rims - all of which must be installed by the end user. The red silicone water hoses come standard and are factory installed. They can be ordered separately from Beta to replace the OEM hoses that come on the standard Evo's ($90 in purchased directly from Beta in US). Hope this helps.

l05tb0y Posted August 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 Cheers and thanks for clearing that up for me. I thought there must be two kinds of Factory bikes as my Evo has Beta Factory on the engine casing and I see bikes for sale stating-- Beta Evo factory for sale and its not as it hasn't got the extras on.
