ken_hosking Posted August 23, 2021 Report Share Posted August 23, 2021 In the attached photograph of a Beta, being ridden by a works rider, there is an interesting object in the intake area. Could it be a fuel injection system? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dan williams Posted August 23, 2021 Report Share Posted August 23, 2021 It has a hydraulic line coming out the back. Looks like a shock reservoir but much bigger than usual. Or maybe it’s a bold new graphic?😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faussy Posted August 23, 2021 Report Share Posted August 23, 2021 The only factory beta riders are Grattarola and Bincaz. Neither have a remote reservoir on their shocks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unospeeder Posted August 23, 2021 Report Share Posted August 23, 2021 (edited) Looks like a remote reservoir to me. There is a guy here in the states that customizes Ohlins and the reservoir are much different in size. What I am really interested in the clutch slave cylinder. I have heard about 30mm clutch slave cylinders for Evos but I can't find squat online. Saw one in a a Trials Tube vid but no info for sourcing. The gold anodized color is the giveaway I believe. Anyone have info on where these can be sourced? **Update** I found the 30mm slave in a few places like here --> https://betatruebaonline.com/trial/13612-cuerpo-bombin-embrague-compl-evo-d30mm.html I have no idea if this was a "factory" part sometime in the past. Bigger is always better so I can only assume a 3mm increase would help with modulation ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Edited August 23, 2021 by unospeeder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reggie Posted August 23, 2021 Report Share Posted August 23, 2021 Most likely a remote reservoir for the rear shock. It even has a ZF ( Sachs) sticker on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither have a remote reservoir on their shocks There are more riders in the Beta Factory team than just Bincaz and Grattarola. I believe that the photograph is that of Carlo Alberto Rabino, who is not a Factory rider as I mistakenly suggested. However, Beta lists Lorenzo Gandola, Sondre Haga and Aniol Gelabert as Factory team riders in Trial 2. The photograph was taken during an arena style trial and that might explain the reason for having a larger fluid reservoir. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can see the reservoir in the Jitsie vid from Andorra @ the 12:30 mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
