We didn’t get a chance to test too many Beta motorcycles in 2021. The factory was hit hard and early by the Covid 19 epidemic and there were no units for testing. Each year, though, Beta releases half-year models called the Race Editions, and we were able to score a 250RR for testing. This particular version differs from the standard version in a number of ways. First of all, there’s no oil injection. The bike takes old-fashioned premix in the tank, like God intended.The fork is a closed-cartridge KYB and there are upgrades everywhere (footpegs, sprocket, graphics, etc.) The price is set at $9399, although supply is in such short demand, you might struggle to find one for that.In 2021, all the Beta two-strokes got a new chassis, and the year before, they got a counterbalanced motor. The brakes are still Nissin and the clutch is hydraulic. This particular unit did not get the new diaphragm clutch design; that’s for the official 2022 models.It’s been so long since we had a Beta test bike, we were a little surprised by how well it runs. It’s really powerful! We also don’t get to ride two-strokes with Keihin carbs very often, and there’s no denying that it has more immediate throttle response than the KTM, Husky and GasGas TPI bikes that we’ve been riding lately. It’s probably not any faster or torquier, but it has a snappier, more immediate feel. We like it!

Beta bikes are awesome!!!!!!!! Such a beautiful bike,and they are every bit as good as any KTM, Husky, or Gas Gas. Plus Beta has a way better warranty. My next bike will be a 2022 Beta 300 race edition one more thing KTM is moving a lot of their manufacturing to China and India. So I’ll go with the Italian built bike.
I’ve got the 300 race edition, best bike I’ve ever owned or ridden. 150+ hours and still going strong!
I’m thinking about putting the 22’ 300 race edition on order for the spring. Just rode one from a demo ride and I was really impressed.
Hi , what is the turning circle like on the 300 ?
@@donski8687 sorry, I’m not sure of the technical info. I will say that I ride almost exclusively slower tight single track. I have never felt limited due to the turning radius of the beta or any my past bikes for that matter. When the going get too tight and I know I won’t clear a turn Ill typically do a pivot turn. Hope this info helps.
Your forgot that it is street legal in alot of states. Beta's are amazing bikes I purchased a 2020 and I've put over 100 hours 1900 miles on it. ZERO issues
2t smoke Its Cologne for men 💖 i wish a had one
Go get one. You won’t regret it. I have a 2017 Beta. Thinking of a new 2022 but mine is so good I just keep riding it
Yes I own a Beta. When I hear American magazine industry guys from So-Cal review Betas it’s like you’re pulling teeth to admit you like it. Always act like Beta is a step behind. It’s your motocross bias. Most of us don’t ride motocross tracks. Beta 2 strokes are better everywhere, except on the moto track. Duh we know that. You want a 450 on single track in rocks?? No you wouldn’t. At least you revised it. I’ll give you that.
Just wait until Colt Nichols rips some holeshots this coming year! I laugh at the haters, then they ride my 300race edition... several have ditched austria and japan and gone for the italian stallion.
I have a 2016 300 Race Edition, has over 200 hrs on original piston and compression is still factory spec and runs like a top. All my riding buddies with austrian pumpkins of all colors have been through pistons, low ends, full engines and countless component failures... always great when the Beta has the tow strap pulling one back to camp.
Yall just made beta look bad... It is a Enduro GP bike.. handles well all across the board in all aspects of riding
what the hell are u talking about, the only thing bad he said was 'front and rear are a bit soft better suited for slow speed trails you might find back east' shifter is tucked in too tight and seat is hard as a rock, and tires are wierd.
@@aussi3212 Funnily enough. Most hard enduro riders say the Betas suspension set up is far too stiff for hard enduro riding.
I got 2017 race edition what a bike
Love 2stroke like it
I just got one!!
Motor yang sangat keren.
What a beast
Indeed
I've got a 2017 300rr Race Edition and ive raced it a ton. Never let me down. Easy to work on and maintain. Love it. '22 300 Race Edition here I come... Why the use of words like "backyard" and "oddball"? Why not use words like Braaaap!!! And "Hell Yeah"...
What is the sun/cloud button for?
dual ignition mapping (aggressive / retarded for dry or wet terrain )
Referring to carburetors as old fashioned when there is literally only one manufacturer producing fuel injected 2-strokes is stupid. Also calling a Beta an "odd ball" really shows your lack of experience. I personally prefer the Beta and even the Sherco over any KTM.
Beta's looking better and better. Hhhmm...
Can you register it and plate it?
Yes. Get a light kit from Beta and depending on your states laws it should be good to go
Why would you name them Beta's?
Because not everyone around the world uses the dumb Alpha/Beta terminology.
Beta have lot of main bearing failures in 2t motors. Be aware
Wow 😮 lol I thought it was a junk lol looks good I’m a Yz guy
It has a Sachs shock....
Needs KYB
Talvez alguin me dice el precio de la moto y la marca porfa
la marca se llama beta es italianaa
Is this company better than any of the big boys
Its bee ta not bay ta,
My only concern with Beta’s are the Italian’s, having owned three different Italian brands in the past, I have to wonder if parts, long term quality and service are going to be an issue.
