Italy's Beta has added a new "XTrainer 200 2T" for MY27 to its popular "XTrainer" enduro series. A new two-stroke model joining the existing 300 2T, it further widens the range's accessibility with its easy-to-handle character.
Beta's 200 2T — I love the straightforwardness of a two-stroke. Lined up next to the 300, how weight and power get divided is exactly the heart of the new model. If they're claiming manageability, I want to check through spec how gently they've tamed it compared to a traditional peaky two-stroke.

KTM and Husqvarna are in that same class too, so it feels like Beta's answering with a lineup of its own.
More options in this price range for 2-stroke enduros is a good thing for us users.
Given the name XTrainer, I'd guess it's a model aimed at training use.
Yeah, I'd say it's positioned somewhere between a trail bike and an enduro, with an emphasis on being easy to handle.
Even if it's supposed to be easy to handle, being a 2-stroke still means it's on the trickier side for beginners, I'd think.
2-strokes have their own quirks, but dropping the displacement to tone down the power should make it a lot more mild-mannered.
I wonder how much the weight actually differs between the 200cc and 300cc—that difference probably matters a lot for how manageable it feels too.
It's great to hear that 2-stroke enduros are still alive and getting their lineup expanded.
Adding a 200 2T to what used to be just the 300 2T clearly aims to widen the entry point for beginners.
