Beta has unveiled its 2027 Sincro trials range, introducing electric-start versions of the 250, 300 and 300 SS alongside the existing kick-start models, plus a series of engine, electronics and suspension updates across the line-up.
Introduced last year as an all-new trials platform, the Sincro range retains its existing chassis and engine architecture for 2027, with the biggest change being the addition of electric start to three of the five models.
The 250, 300 and 300 SS are now available with either kick-start or electric start, while the 125 and 200 remain kick-start only.
Beta has developed a compact starting system consisting of a starter motor, dedicated battery, relay and handlebar-mounted button, adding just 1.9kg compared with the kick-start versions.
Importantly, all electric-start models retain their kick-starters as a backup.
Engine updates across the range
Beta has made several changes to the two-stroke engines for 2027, starting with a redesigned cylinder head and combustion chamber.
The new combustion chamber uses a smaller CMR7H spark plug, now positioned vertically in the cylinder head. Beta says the revised design is intended to improve combustion efficiency, smooth engine operation and deliver more precise throttle response.
The 300 and 300 SS also receive a new silencer, featuring a more linear internal structure designed to improve exhaust gas flow while reducing noise.
The 300 SS, which stands for Super Smooth, retains its own dedicated exhaust manifold to provide a softer bottom-end power delivery compared with the standard 300.
All five models also receive an updated ECU with revised internal components and engine mapping, with Beta targeting improved reliability and more consistent engine management.
Suspension and chassis
Beta has revised the internal suspension settings at both ends of the motorcycle for 2027.
The Sincro continues with its hydroformed single-beam aluminium frame, which also serves as the fuel tank, a design concept Beta has used in its trials motorcycles since 1990.
The engine forms a stressed member of the chassis, allowing a compact frame layout and tight turning circle.
Up front, the Sincro uses an R16V fork with 10mm narrower fork-tube spacing, while the rear features a lightweight aluminium-bodied shock absorber.
Both components receive revised internal settings for the new model year.
The engine layout also carries over, with direct cylinder intake and centralised mass across all capacities.
Cooling is handled by a fully integrated system without external hoses, incorporating a protected quick-release radiator cap and closed-impeller water pump.
Transmission remains a six-speed gearbox, paired with Beta’s oil-bath diaphragm clutch.
The clutch features three selectable preload positions, allowing riders to adjust its characteristics to suit their preferences.

| Sincro 300 SS 2T | Electric start | $14,495 |
The electric-start versions carry a $700 premium over their kick-start equivalents.
The 125 remains the smallest-capacity model, aimed at junior riders progressing into senior competition, while the 200 offers an intermediate step.
The 250 is positioned as the more manageable option, while the standard 300 provides the strongest torque delivery in the range. The 300 SS retains the larger-capacity engine but uses a softer bottom-end power delivery.
With electric start now available on three models, Beta has expanded the Sincro range to eight configurations across five engine variants, giving Australian trials riders a choice between conventional kick-start simplicity and the convenience of electric starting.
