Setting a Beta up Before an Enduro Race Part 1

Hi guys, I'm Alex Alvini and I'm his pilot. Hi guys, I'm Ivan Zanone and I'm his mechanic. We are in the Beta, where Vila works on the production and here we work on our little one, before the next World Cup race and now we will show you the latest adjustments. Let's do the levers and the handlebars. This operation is very important, I'm very picky about these things because for me it is essential to have a good position of the handlebars, saddle and pedals. I keep a low position of the lever because in enduro you drive a lot standing up, so you risk that if you have a very high lever, your finger will be turned a lot and you may even hurt yourself. So I prefer a position slightly under the axis of the handlebar to have a better grip with the hand and a more comfortable position on the bike. To replicate Alex's saddle, I start from a high saddle in the Beta catalog, which is a little higher than his, but it gives him the possibility to work it for height and shape as he wants. Normally you start from the flat part and you go to consume. We do this operation because compared to a standard saddle, I use a slightly higher saddle. Given my height, which is 1.82 meters, it makes it easier for me to get up from the pedals. We smooth it, especially on the sides, in this part, where it favors me a little more in the movement of the weights in the curves, not feeling this very flat and square part. I know it's a long operation to do, but it's something that favors me a lot during the ride and so I always ask for it. It happened once that I also had this saddle done. After that, when we arrived at the race, I tried it and I didn't like it. I had to disassemble the saddle and do it again. That's why we always try to anticipate things in order to get to the races already with the material ready and rooted. Good! All right, I'll finish it then. In this way, as he did, we go to work in this area, which is the moment when you enter the curve and you move. I like it a little more rounded, so that it favors me in the movements.
