The Beta Zero is one of the most charismatic bikes in the history of Trial.
The Zero model saw the light for the first time in 1990, as a result of the development that Jordi Tarrés made on the Beta TR34, which evolved in 1989 into a prototype of Beta Zero that was presented in the Spanish Trial Championship of Piedralaves (Ávila), and although it was never manufactured, It aroused great interest in the industry for its imposing aluminum double-beam frame signed by Verlicchi and the liquid cooling system.
The Beta Zero was born in 1990 and its production would end in 1993 with the Beta Zero Gara, which in turn gave way to the Beta Techno saga in 1994.
The Beta Zero was equipped with a 2-stroke, 260cc engine, although there were also 240cc and 125cc versions. The Zero was powered by a 26mm Mikuni carburetor and a six-speed gearbox.
Regarding the suspension, the fork of the Beta Zero was entrusted to Paioli, who provided an inverted fork with the possibility of external adjustment with a travel of 175mm. At the rear, he fitted a Corte e Cosso shock absorber. The brakes were disc brakes on both axles and the final weight of the Beta Zero was 79 kilos dry. Regarding the range, the Beta Zero had a fuel tank with a capacity of 3.8 liters, almost double that of current trial bikes.
The Beta Zero was Trial World Champion with Jordi Tarrés in 1990 and 1991, while in 1992 he lost the title to Tommi Ahvala at the controls of an Aprilia Climber.
