With its low seat height and light weight, the Beta XTrainer creates a lot of security and self-confidence in the saddle. Especially in slow and technical passages, it scores points with its manoeuvrability and gives a sovereign feeling. The engine is fun and can be finely dosed in every situation - and I never had the feeling that I was underpowered.
