This weekend – At Mission
Nice to see the Belanger brothers making the trip out West for the National – for some this might be the first time for them to see the all new Beta Sincro factory bike. Unfortunately we will be unable to attend, but wish all the riders, including our own Katie and perhaps Emily all the very best .
The new Sincro Factory models have a twin spark plug head. – Here is why.
In the new 2026 model year, the spotlight is particularly on the 300 2T model, which introduces the
dual sparkplug system to a trial bike for the first time.
The new Sincro 300 2T Factory is equipped with a brand-new engine, both in terms of the CYLINDER and
the ENGINE HEAD, which houses two SPARKPLUGS. This system has been used on Beta’s off-road
Race models with success and now it arrives on the Factory Sincro for the sport of trial.
The use of a dual sparkplug engine on the 300 2-stroke displacement represents a significant step
forward in terms of efficiency and consistent performance. The presence of two ignition points also
ensures more uniform combustion within the combustion chamber for the Sincro engine, reducing
detonation and improving smoothness at low revs, which is crucial in trials where low speed control is
everything. This system ensures faster and more controlled combustion, optimising engine response
and increasing manageability. In addition, the double sparkplug contributes to better engine heat
management, reducing the risk of fouling and promoting consistent performance even under prolonged
use. The result is a more responsive, smoother and more powerful bike, capable of tackling technical
sections with greater precision and confidence.
