1992 Beta ALP 260 Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

At the heart of the 1992 Beta ALP 260 enduro - offroad motorcycle, Beta relies on a 261 cc (15.9 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, two-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 12 HP (8.8 kW) at 5,400 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 46 HP per liter, the engine character is prioritizing low-RPM tractability, mechanical longevity and relaxed throttle response over peak redline numbers.

On the scales, the ALP 260 measures 86 kg (190 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.14 HP/kg (7.17 kg per horsepower). The 5.5-liter (1.5 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints, while factory top speed is listed at 85 km/h (53 mph).
