Inspired by the historic Alp 4.0, which has been produced and sold in Europe for more than twenty-five years, will now be available to USA riders this June. Beta technicians have updated the design of the Alp 4.0 as well as created a new urban version, the Alp X model.<br /><br />Beta's tagline, Rideability®, has been built into the new design of both models, with features that offer an easy ride, including a low seat height and the Bosch ABS system, making for pleasurable short or long adventure rides. The ABS can be turned off if desired.<br /><br />The Alp 4.0 offers a more off-road package with an 18/21" wheel combination vs the Alp X model's 17/19". Both models use the same chassis and engine packages. Both engines are a 350cc liquid-cooled 4-valve head with a six-speed transmission and fuel injection that produces 35 hp. Robust in design and built for high mileage use.<br /><br />The Alp X model is a more urban-based model, while it can still handle tough trail riding, the wheel package and bodywork design make it a model that will be used for all-around on and off-road riding in the more populated areas.<br /><br />What stands out the most about these two models is their performance on and off-road, with the low center of gravity, more rugged trails can be tackled, while at the same time on the road, they run very smooth. A bike for almost all conditions, unlike other adventure bikes that feel very top-heavy and awkward off-road. While most other adventure bikes are 80% road/20% street, the Alp models are more 50/50. Each model will be offered in two colors, red or white for the Alp 4.0 and a dark or light gray for the Alp X.<br /><br />The frame is a steel perimeter designed to reduce weight. The front fork and rear shock provide more than 7" of wheel travel for on and off-road comfort. Passenger footpegs come standard for two-up riding. There are two riding modes, one for on-road and one for off-road. The TFT color dash provides the speed, tachometer, odometer with trip meter, fuel level, range, and gear position.<br /><br />In regards to the aesthetics, the two models differ in the form and finish of their superstructures, with Alp X featuring more tapered bodywork highlighting its Modern Classic style, while those of the Alp 4.0 wrap around more. The Alp X's lines integrate perfectly with the new cutting-edge round LED headlamp, while on the 4.0 model, the lighting is provided by a headlight with a more square look, still featuring LED lighting technology.<br /><br />With a lower price point, both the Alp 4.0 and Alp X models provide a world of adventure for a reasonable price. All Alp models come with a two-year, unlimited mileage limited warranty. Beta USA has created a large dealer network, along with offering many accessories to make your Alp "your own", they are the perfect long-term mile-munching machines.
