Beta continues to expand its selection of off-road two-strokes. The latest addition to the line is a lowered version of the 300cc Xtrainer called the Lowboy. Here’s what Beta has to say about it:
Beta USA is proud to introduce the latest addition to its off-road lineup: the 2026 Xtrainer Lowboy. Building on the massive success of the standard Xtrainer—the #1 selling entry-level enduro model—the Lowboy variant is designed to offer even greater confidence and control for riders of all sizes. The Lowboy was previously available as a special order for an additional cost. This new model is built by the factory and has the same MSRP as the standard Xtrainer.
The standard Xtrainer has long been celebrated for its “Rideability,” bridging the gap between heavy, low-suspension 4-strokes and full-size competition bikes. The new Lowboy takes this philosophy a step further by lowering the center of gravity and seat height, making technical terrain more manageable than ever before.
Key Features of the Xtrainer Lowboy
Lower Stance: The Lowboy features a 1.2” lower seat height compared to the standard Xtrainer. This reduction is matched by lower footpegs and ground clearance, ensuring a balanced geometry that keeps the rider connected to the trail without compromising handling.
Same Proven Performance: Retaining the lightweight 218-pound chassis and the torque-rich 300cc engine of the standard model, the Lowboy delivers the same predictable, tractable power that has made the Xtrainer an icon.
No Price Premium: The Xtrainer Lowboy is offered at the same MSRP and dealer cost as the standard Xtrainer model.
Rideability Redefined
The Beta engineering team in Florence, Italy, has taken the Xtrainer’s unique spec list—performance, ergonomics, and design—and tailored it for riders who demand a lower profile without sacrificing capability.
The Xtrainer is a purpose-built model, designed from the ground up to deliver an easier and more predictable ride. With the new LowBoy, we are opening the door to even more riders. Whether you are an entry-level enthusiast looking for a secure footing or an expert wanting an even more flickable play bike, the Lowboy delivers.
The Xtrainer LowBoy retains the popular gray and red color combination for 2026 and features the same 15% smaller overall chassis and narrow mid-section that allows it to excel in the toughest conditions.
The Xtrainer LowBoy retains all features of the Xtrainer:
» Lighter weight: an extremely agile motorcycle, even for novices, a bike that is easier to maneuver at slow speeds and requires less energy from the rider. This enhances the riding experience.» Brakes: Nissin, with discs measuring 260mm at the front and 240mm at the rear.
» Battery: lightweight, high-performance lithium battery.
» Fork and Single Shock: R16V with 43mm fork tubes at the front and progressive leverage linkage system at the rear. The suspension is fully adjustable, the fork offering adjustable spring pre-load and rebound, and the single shock is adjustable in terms of its spring pre-load, compression and rebound.
» Power delivery: smooth and linear, full-bodied and powerful – the perfect mix to have fun everywhere.
» Beta Progressive Valve: the Beta Progressive exhaust valve can be adjusted by the rider from an easy external adjuster, allowing engine performance to be effectively adapted to suit every kind of usage. Turn the adjuster inward for slower speeds, turn the adjust out for more free-rev fun.
» Map switch mounted on the handlebar: Rain or sun modes, to complement the progressive valve.
» Tank: 2.4 gallon transparent tank.
» Automatic oil injection: located beneath the seat (which is easily opened at the touch of a button), it does away with the need for the oil-fuel premix.
» Soft tires: soft compound and aggressive design guarantee grip in every situation, the rider benefiting from responses that are less twitchy with respect to a tire with a stiffer carcass.
» Cooling fan: The fan is mounted as standard on Xtrainer to ensure the engine always maintains the ideal running temperature, even on slower routes. Thermoswitch controls the fan, so no rider input is needed.
» Electric starter: precise and reliable, essential when restarting the bike in tricky situations.
» Engine and clutch: derived from the RR model range, no corners are cut with the Xtrainer; a diaphragm clutch, along with a six-speed transmission, completes the package.
» Taillight: Xtrainer gets a new LED taillight, more modern and sturdier than the previous model.
» Meter: The 2026 model is equipped with a new meter, which is larger and easier to read. This new meter provides the rider with much information, such as speed, distance, trip meter, and low oil warning.
» Engine: New crankcases house larger main bearings for better durability.
» Transmission ratios: First introduced in the RR X-Pro, the second gear was significantly updated to provide a wider range of use. This has improved the transition between second and third gear.
» Graphics: The plastic retains the beloved Grey color, updated with modern and vibrant graphics, and contemporary white finishes that stand out and embrace its character.
