Even the frame respects this principles: a solid steel chassis, simple and essential and an adjustable rear shock absorber assuring a good comfort on every roadbed. The disk brakes with a double-piston calipers assure a reliable and vigorous breaking.

Verdict
The Beta alp 4.0 is can be considered a decent daily commuter or off road bike and is able to reward its rider with a pretty fun riding experience.
Its 350 cc engine however is a bit old compared to other units in its class. But despite its dated technology it is still one of the most reliable units in its class and has all it needs to deal with anything you throw at it. It can be a bit buzzy above 60mph and its maximum speed won’t impress many experienced riders either.
In terms of ride and handling, the Beta Alp receives good marks, as its long travel suspension and the high riding position give you confidence both in the city and on the off road tracks.
The 2013 Beta Alp 4.0 costs around £3400, which is a pretty fair price for what it has to offer.
