BETA vs KTM | Which is better for Enduro ?

Both the KTM 300 and the beta 300 are top-performing enduro bikes and are known for their off-road capabilities. However, there are some key differences between the two that riders should be aware of before making a decision on which one to purchase. The KTM 300 is known for its agility, lightweight design and quick handling, making it a great option for more experienced riders. On the other hand, the beta 300 is known for its stability, smooth power delivery, and comfortable riding position, making it a great option for riders who are less experienced.
It's important to note that both bikes have their own pros and cons, and the ultimate choice between the two will depend on your personal preferences and needs as a rider. Whether you're a seasoned enduro rider looking for a high-performance machine, or a beginner who is looking for a more comfortable and stable ride, both the KTM 300 and the beta 300 are worth considering.
I am not one of those people who just talk, and behind that talk there is no experience or knowledge. I would like to start with the suspension first because I think it is a very important thing on enduro bikes and everything starts from that. If you have bad suspension or poorly adjusted your driving will be difficult for you and you will be tired a lot. With a good suspension it is much easier to ride, and now which motorcycle has a better suspension beta or KTM, I will tell you soon.
Regarding the front forks, I can say that they literally work identically. However, there is a distinction between the companies that manufacture them. KTM has long used whitepower forks and rear shocks, whereas the beta has changed its suspension over the years.
I have ZF Sachs suspension on this beta and am very pleased with it. The difference between the forks is that when you change the settings on the KTM, you have to turn a lot of clicks to feel the difference, whereas on the beta, almost every click on the settings is felt while driving. We can say that when driving over small stones and small shocks to the suspension, both absorb the impact almost equally. When we accelerate, I notice that the beta becomes more unstable when compared to the KTM. Of course, all of this can be adjusted, with the addition of compression on the settings or with harder springs inside the suspension.
In terms of forks, I believe KTM and Beta are on equal level. There is absolutely no difference.
However, when it comes to the rear shock absorber, Beta comes out on top. It's a bit unfair to compare a PDS motorcycle to one with Linkage rear suspension. But there is nothing I can do; all I can do is share my experience.
Beta is much more stable, absorbs every impact better, and works flawlessly at both slow and fast speeds. There are simply too many steps below for KTM to compete. I'm hoping that Beta will do the same for the front forks, and then we can declare Beta the suspension winner. But for the time being, we must state that both have the same suspension.
The engine's behavior is the next most important factor for us. I'm not going to say much about hard enduro except that Beta is the winner. Beta's engine has a lot of bottom end power, a calm and even power that doesn't tire the driver and provides a lot of traction on the surface. While KTM has a more aggressive motorcycle that is more difficult to control, the beta engine is the clear winner. If you're looking for a hard enduro motorcycle, the Beta is the one for you.

Buy what your friends riding and/or what dealer is around. The rider adapts his bike. Thats it. There are too many clips about "which is better..." Ride your bike (doesn´t matter which) and have a good time 🤙

I only believe the “80% the rider” applies to advanced and pro riders. They can get on any bike and do something amazing. For beginner and intermediate riders, a bike with predictable handling, good tires for the terrain and personalized suspension setup will help to keep from having unnecessary crashes and mistakes.

Screw fuel injection. Beta carbed with a kicker kit or buy a 2019 carbed KTM and earlier. The suspension on both it’s just tune for your needs.

I have a 2023 XC-W 300 and had the opportunity to ride a 2022 Beta XTrainer 300. I understand they are SIGNIFICANTLY different bikes but I was shocked, as was the owner of the Beta, at how much the Beta vibrated. The KTM honestly, no exaggeration, felt like an E-bike after the Beta. I'm also quite surprised that there's not much talk about it bc it was such a huge difference. The Beta felt very similar in power and smoothness to my 2004 KTM EXC 200. If this is how the Beta is supposed to feel and there indeed was not a mechanical issue with the bike, then KTM is, by a long shot, the clear choice for me. I'm 43 years old and I want to ride as many years as possible. The less vibration, the longer (years) the riding. Thanks for taking the time to make this comparison video.

I think I picked two of the best bikes around actually. I got a 2018 KTM EXC 300tpi with uppgraded suspension as well as a 2022 Beta RR350 also with uppgrade suspension. I love them both in different ways and really like to be able to choose if I like to ride 2 or 4-stroke that particular day or based track etc.

I tested some Beta's on demo day back in 2019 and I must agree with that fact about front suspension with ZF. But oh boy how different and effortless RR 430 Racing version with KYB forks rides, I never thought how EASY you can ride fast on bumpy single track. I still have my old (2011) EXC 250 two-stroke but I'm looking forward on Beta RR 250/300 Racing, I feel I need to try a different brand than KTM :)

The question which is better for enduro ….results from EnduroGP tells the answer (not KTM!) So do the quote from the KTM factory rider: Quote: " a 300 two-stroke (KTM..) - a bike which has won so many world titles in the past but a big, fat zero (enduro-GP, ISDE…) since things turned TPI. "

I agree. The KYB suspension is my go to. Although I really liked my ‘17 KTM 300 the suspension was not that good and very difficult to tune. I ended up replacing the shock with an Öhlins TTX shock which was just as good as the KYB SSS suspension on my Yamaha.
