2022 Beta X Trainer First Impression 

I ride an 300RR and I got a Xtrainer for my wife. The XT is very under rated. It excels in technical terrain. Super light. Same motor as my bike but piped different like Jimmy said. It is the best handling, easiest to ride bike I’ve ever ridden. But.. if you ride fast and aggressive the suspension will be too soft. But that’s what makes it so good in the slow stuff.

I just bought this bike and made it street legal

Yep I'm in my mid-40s and have noticed that I'm leaving my CRF 450x in the garage and taking the old xr250 more often these days I think this bike will be a perfect single track weapon for my out of shape ass

I think this is the best bike on the market for hard enduro, like, going 1 to 5 mph in big rocks. The suspension is just fine, love it actually. I want my suspension soft when doing hard enduro. The pipe costs nothing to replace snd then you got a formidable better sized enduro weapon. This is a phenomenal enduro bike for expert level riders.

Put a SmartCarb on mine. Made a huge difference. Even more power and didn't leak fuel like it did with stock carburetor.

great video guys.. I've been listening to your podcast on Spotify every time i drive the truck, and wrench on my bikes. Good info there, Jimmy is obviously very experienced and knowledgeable. I have a 17 yz250f that I'm making more off-road/trail friendly. Had a 19 yz250x but the quickness of the throttle response made me go back to the familiarity of a 4 stroke. I couldnt log hop nearly as easily as with my 4strokes. Sooo I was considering the Xtrainer. Thanks for all the info fellas.

To me, this is a perfect eastern single track bike for just about anyone if the suspension is set up properly.

It's nice to hear an intelligent motorcycle review on RU-vid.

Great video guys! Already looking forward to future insights on this bike. In one of your your future videos I'd love to hear your thoughts on the XTrainer vs. the 200RR for someone who likes 2T bikes for single track.

Good video. I'm still breaking in my X Trainer but have a few comments. I love the low seat height and overall styling. The suspension is good enough for me and so is the power. Also like the light weight. But my bone with Beta is having them lighted, a horn, wired for signals, etc., but the short gearing. I need to ride to the closest trails and being ready for the street was a big selling point. Still it's tough to get such a bike plated in WI, though I managed. The problem is having it legal, but I'm in 3rd gear by the end of my block! Of course the knobbies and unbalanced wheels don't help. I guess my point is that if Beta is going to make these "streetable", then I'd like to see taller gearing and less aggressive tires. This winter I plan to go a tooth bigger in front, and balance the wheels and/or get better tires. But, given the intent of being more of a dirt bike, I think it's great.

Jimmy i would like to point out a correction on the reserve level on the BETA. I have a 200RR and it has to be on reserve at half the tank. It literally comes on and i have over a gallon of fuel left. Mostly i ride on reserve from the beginning due to this. I'm used to MX bikes so im careful about watching my range though. Could be a float level partially though too, my tank (RR slight bigger tank and my smaller CC) will do a good 40+ avg before the reserve. Be nice if BETA did correct it though on the high reserve

After riding big bikes for many years I've admitted to myself I don't really need a race bike for enduro trail riding, I'm using 1st 2nd or 3rd gear most of the time. for slow rocky root filled trails I could sit a little lower.

Ppl underestimate the XT, they assume it’s a beginner bike or whatever but in my opinion if ur woods riding and doing more idling or low rpm stuff it’s fantastic and it will still open up and run like a scolded dog.

When are you going to put out more content on this bike? Cool video guys.

Great review guys. I am looking for a pure easy riding play bike. The X trainer sounds like the perfect play bike however many reviewers have noted the the twitchiness as the speed builds. That issue being not too confidence inspiring. Is there anyway of overcoming that? Otherwise what would be a similar pick out of the euro 300's would U think? TM, sherco, Reiju?

I want to buy my first bike, I looking for some bike for enduro and practice wheelies, which one is better? This one or klx 230r s?

Great bike, going to get one 😎

These are rad, but the suspension is a big let down. The Rieju ranger 200/300 are much better, not sure why they aren’t getting love from the same crowd that loves the Xtrainer.

The 15 mpg is a show stopper. Let us know if your carb float helped.

👍👍

Hopefully it goes further than 30 miles on a tank. If not it’s not much more than a play bike that can’t leave the yard.

Bring back the FreeRide!

The bike is shit if you’ve ever rode motocross . Small ass gas tank , the bar between the plastics smashes your knees , and power is so bad for a 300 same with suspension it suuuucks . Buy a husky
