There are four 2-stroke engines: 125, 250, 300 and 300 SS where “SS” stands for Super Smooth, a Trial bike with a decidedly softer, more fun-oriented character than its more aggressive counterparts.  The world renowned 4-stroke version, is available in a 300 cc displacement and offers a sound alternative to the 2-stroke versions thanks to user-friendly engine power delivery which is welcomed by clubman riders and experts alike.  The Evo SPORT models return for 2019 as well. These popular low speed trail- fun bikes are based off the standard Evo models but have included features such as the long-range seat/fuel tank, hand guards, knobby tires, and taller final gear- ing. This model has been designed for those looking for a nice fun bike for trails that offer un-intimidating power and a low seat height.   2019 BETA EVO 2-STROKE Engine Updates: Evo 2 Stroke  All the 2-stroke versions - including the 300 SS - have the following new fea- tures, designed to give the bikes a more technically polished feel. Engines (except the 125 cc) feature a cylinder with a new exhaust port geometry and new timing curves. Both of these developments improve low-rev engine con- trol and stabilize the power delivery, providing exceptional, stock-setting perfor- mance. Moreover, a new gear selector cam has been designed which was used in the earlier Factory models, and provides more positive shifting.
