The Beta Mnitrial LC is a compact bike aimed at those who love Trial circuits. It is the smallest model in Beta’s Trial lineup and was especially created for the beginners.

The 2013 version is built on an improved steel frame that hosts an all-new single cylinder, 2-stroke, liquid cooled engine. The 72.4 cc unit sends its power to the ground through a single speed transmission and is fed by a compact, 0.6 gallons fuel tank.

The engine breaths through a Dell’Orto PHBN carburetor with external adjustments for improved performance and greater regularity of operation.

The bike rides on a set of sporty suspensions that consist of a 32 mm fork and a rear single shock absorber.

For 2013 the Beta Minitrial LC is also offered with new colors and graphics inspired by the EVO 2013 models.

Verdict

Beta has never managed to get ahead of the pack when it comes to quality, performances and reliability. And unfortunately, the Beta Minitrial LC has never put the sales charts on fire either.

On the other hand, we’ll have to admit that the Beta Minitrial LC has all it needs to be considered a good trial bike. It is decently made, handles well and has good brakes too.

Moreover, the 2013 model comes with a set of important upgrades which improve its overall performances and make it more agile than the previous model.

However, this doesn’t mean that Beta has now the potential to compete with success against its Japanese rivals. It just means that it is a far better choice than of one of the many low budget Chinese trial bikes that come with bargain prices.
