Saint-Denis lights up Réunion: high energy and a growing Beta presence
The third round of the X-Trial season took place in Saint-Denis, which for one night became a spectacular arena of light, music, technical sections and an enthusiastic crowd. It was one of the most engaging rounds of the entire calendar.
The Beta Factory Trial Team lined up with Harry Hemingway, Matteo Grattarola and Hugo Dufrese, all delivering hard-fought performances.
Harry Hemingway experienced a weekend of ups and downs. An early mistake in the opening round complicated his run, followed by a disqualification in the final section. The young Brit reacted well in Q2, finishing second and showing strong speed. He keeps hold of fourth place in the World Championship, a key result ahead of the Italian round.
Matteo Grattarola finished sixth, level with Hemingway. A few early errors prevented him from battling for the final, but the Italian rider highlighted the steady progress made over the past events and now looks confidently towards the home round in Ponte di Legno, where the new bike will make its debut.
Hugo Dufrese delivered one of the standout rides of the evening, securing an impressive fifth place in front of the French crowd and confirming his excellent form.

In Germany, the legendary GetzenRodeo hosted the final round of the FIM Hard Enduro Junior World Championship. A brutal race made even more spectacular by the thousands of fans crowding the woods near Zschopau.
The young German Beta rider Felix Bähker delivered a weekend to remember. After a strong 12th place in Friday’s prologue, he entered Saturday’s “Getzen Race” facing an early setback when a contact bent his gear lever. Despite the handicap, he charged back through the field, climbing to 14th, enough to secure a spot in the “Getzen Champ” finale.
In the decisive afternoon race, he chose the Joker Lane at the perfect moment, keeping a steady pace and finishing 11th overall. The result also earned him second place in the Junior World Championship standings, crowning him FIM Hard Enduro Junior Vice-World Champion 2025.
A phenomenal end to the season, amplified by the unique atmosphere of the GetzenRodeo and the constant support of the passionate fans.

Looking ahead
With a Junior World Championship podium in Hard Enduro and important signs of growth in X-Trial, Beta wraps up another intense and successful international weekend.
The focus now shifts to Ponte di Legno, where the next round of the X-Trial World Championship will take place on December 12 — a home event full of expectations and ready to deliver more excitement.
