Great video comparing the two bikes, I've always been a huge 4 stroke guy but have been considering getting a beta 2T to see if I'm missing out on anything.
The 2 stroke is 100% worth trying and the bike will certainly hold its value even if you don’t enjoy it and need to go back to the 4 stroke! Enjoy the ride, Jared
Betas are amazing!!! I absolutely love my 2022 beta xtrainer I bought my wife, hated my 2022 husqvarna te300i We’ll see how much I like my 2023 tm300en fi
Thanks for checking out our channel! We agreed on the 22 GasGas EFI bike we had. Felt kinda weird.. If you don't like that TM we know where to get you that shiny new Beta!! Enjoy the ride, Jared
Great video! Leaning towards the x trainer. Mostly want it for single track mountains here in alberta and BC. Streel legal it to ride from trail to trail.
@@3SeasRecreation i had an Xr650l all done up, pritty much the frame was stock. But was still to big and heavy for the mountains. Also my other 2 stroke dirtbikes were to old and un reliable.
Hi I’m 16 from Australia and have saved up enough to get either I have had a Ktm 150 sx for a while converting it to enduro because that’s all I could afford now am looking a the 2 300s I ride a lot of enduro a few enduro races here and there wanting an opinion thank you
Good job saving up for a new bike! The 300s are a very fun bike but I would think you would enjoy a 150 or the Beta 200 being a younger rider. Hopefully you can try both! Enjoy the ride, Jared
@@Aidensfishinadventures you could consider the beta 250 r two strokes. Has less Torque and brute force in lower rpm so is easier than a 300 but still you have plenty of power when you need
I've heard the XTrainer gets twitchy at higher speeds, but no one can seem to give an idea about what speed this is. I only want a bike to trail ride though I would like to keep up with everyone else in the faster sections without feeling like the bike is trying to kill me. I have been on the fence about which to buy for quite a while.
Hey Mark, thanks for checking out our videos! I think anyone that tries to ride an XTrainer more aggressively will be disappointed in the way the suspension handles, the goal for this bike is slower technical trails/ beginner riders. To give you an exact gear I would say anything over 3rd gear with an aggressive attack would probably be to much for the suspension. For the guy clicking through 3rd gear just cruising the trails will enjoy the bike. Hope that helps! Enjoy the ride, Jared
@@Mark-op7zt Hey, no MAJOR changes just a few things and honestly a lithium battery can be bought for the 2022 in a few years after the standard battery dies out. I did just get two more 2022 Beta XTrainers in today!
Third gear the bike really starts to feel hairy. When I transitioned from road riding to dirt, the X trainer seemed perfect on paper. After test riding it I was hoping all dirt bikes didn’t behave like it… Once you’re in 3rd gear it feels really hairy. The suspension is a massive let down
Just bought a new 300xtrainer... Had exactly the same Dought, but I was riding a 2016 Xtrainer... ONLY 5/6hours on it, but this new engine seems much more smoother with even more down power, but its seems it Lost some high power???!!! Maybe the counter balance also helps? Let's see how it GOES or if I have to change the pipe and grab the 300rr pipe...
I race cross country/ hare scrambles in the equivalent of a C class. Considering the 200rr or 300 xtrainer. Currently race a WR250R (pretty kitted out, still heavy) lol. What would you suggest?
I would really look at the 200rr if you can find one, as you start getting into the race season and improving you will want the standard suspension vs the Xtrainer when it comes to races. Thanks, Jared
My 2022 Beta Xtrainer has issues with CDI pin corossion and wiring harness which caused oil injection to stop working. Bike sustained piston and cylinder damage. The bike is close to a year old. It is being repaired at my local Beta dealer, who informed me that parts will be roughly $1300.00 This is very disapointing, the reason for buying a new dirt bike is so I wouldn't have problems.
Dont know if he will reach out to Beta, if he doesn't, I will. Think Beta should warranty this known issue. I did use die electric grease on the female connector after watching your video, thanks for that.
@@The1996f150 Yup same shit on my Beta after 2 months of owning it, Beta fixed it for free tho. Should have bought a Kawa like my friend did. His is bone stock and never had a single problem, but my Beta is a trouble maker and ive replaced half of the bike.. Never a Euro bike again
i was thinking of getting either getting a beta 200 rr or a xtrainer as a first bike. But i just wanna hear other peoples opinions about it. I have ridden a 2 stroke before a handful of times they just weren't mine.
Good Morning, either one of those bikes would be an awesome first ride. Both have easy to use engines that are comfortable. I would say the 200 RR has more room to grow as you become a more serious rider. If you always plan on just casual trail riding the XTrainer is perfect. If you plan to progress to the point of racing, then I would go 200 RR. Enjoy the ride, Jared
@@3SeasRecreation Thanks man, I'm definitely looking for some trail riding with friends. But after a lil bit of riding I might try out a track to see if I like it. Thank you for your opinion.
Great Question! I would absolutely push you toward the standard or even the Race Edition 300 if you are going to run hard enduros. I actually have a full blown Factory Beta 300 RE here at the shop that Beta USA sent us for one of our riders that we used for the first 4 hard enduros this season. I will do a walk around video of that bike here shortly and it will show you all of the things Beta did to this bike to get it ready for hard enduros! Subscribe and you'll hopefully get the notification!
@@3SeasRecreation thanks for the response and your videos. I have a 21’ 350RE I bought in Columbus Ohio this summer. I’m loving Beta and the people that I’ve spoken with. Interested in trying a 2stroke next time. Need both. 😂
@@Chromedome053 Give us a call next time you are ready to buy! We are only 3.5 hours from Columbus, OH! Ill make it worth your drive! Thanks, Jared And yes.. you need both!
@@3SeasRecreation Hmmmm.. Can you actually put a "hard enduro" fork on XTrainer? If yeah, what will it be? I just wanna get it as a first bike and hop on Hard enduro. I do have enough money for the bike.. but not for everything else XD (i mean i don't have a car to get to the track without actually riding a bike). Is it a good idea or should i just leave the stock fork?
Just curious about your comment "...if you do live in a state where you can put this on the road..." Don't all Betas come with a register-able MC title? So why would the state matter if it comes with an MC title from the factory and not an off road use only title like the Japanese brands?
Good Afternoon, the Certificate Of Origin is lettered in a way that allows customers in certain states BUT it is not always about what the Certificate Of Origin says... If the bike does not pass the vin # check at the DMV in their computer system then it will not pass as street legal. NONE of the 2-strokes pass the governments computer system but not all states check that. Enjoy the ride, Jared
Lucci Real Estate , hope I can also help. Yes, most if not all Japanese COO's will read "FOR OFF ROAD USE ONLY" for their dirt bikes. So of course most states will not allow you to plate one. But all 50 states vary. Now, most Euro makers like KTM and Beta will not print that, meaning in MN, you can buy a Beta and the dealer will plate and title for you via the DMV! Insane, right and MN is a super Liberal state. Here in WI, though, if you buy a KTM or Beta, you roll the dice on a title. You go to the DMV personally, here, and pray. Remember, though, these bikes have short gearing, and unbalanced knobbies, so you'll want to live pretty close to the trails!
@@captainamerica9353 That's how it is here in PA. As long as you buy the bike new from a dealer (previously untitled), any KTM can be given a plate and be made road legal. I just bought a Beta Xtrainer 300 and same thing. Didn't realize that other states have different rules, thought it was just based on the title. The purpose of plating a bike like that for me is not to go any great distance on the road. I have other bikes for that. Its simply to connect trails within a mile or so on road legally so you don't get hassled. Also to to be able to ride right from my house so I don't have to load up the bike on the truck and then park it somewhere. Cheers.
@@motolucci46 , amazing that PA is that easy! And it's one of the most Liberal states in the country, like CA, WA, OR, MN, MI, NY, etc. You'd think those states would never allow a 2 stroke to get titled, and I believe there's a character in the VIN, like Jared mentioned that screws people in states like NY. I got lucky here in WI, titling my XT. In the process of going to a 15T front and balancing the wheels since I'm a few miles from the trails.
Great video comparing the two bikes. I hace to ask you. In some Dynos test, say that the X-trainer the max power in Hp (horse powers) is 35 HP and in the RR 300 STD the max power is 46 Hp. Is that true ? Thanks so much
Good Morning, hmmm I have a shop build XTrainer that we have been using. I am 6'4" and I can ride the bike without issue. However, if I didn't have a dealership full of bikes to choose form when I want to ride.. I would NOT choose it as my main bike. Standard 300 RR all the way! Enjoy The Ride, Jared
Great overview of the bike. Your voice intonation goes up at the end of every single phrase. Try varying your tone for a more professional video that sounds more authentic and less like a sales pitch.
Hello! You have very good videos about Beta motorcycles. I've been waiting for my 300 racing for 1 month. In Spain and Europe there is a delay in deliveries, how is the situation in the United States?
I have just purchased a 300 XTrainer from a Dealer in La Linea in Spain waiting to get a no plate on it in the new year , but i am hearing there is a problem with the ECU corroding and the pin for the Oil Injection falling , also some problems with the ring Gear for the Starter failing , have you heard anything about this ?
@@PhilipGunn Hello! I have not heard anything about these problems, if you have bought on the line, I imagine you live in Gibraltar? Where have you seen or heard about these problems? If something fails it is a new motorcycle, they should take over under warranty.
@@OskiitarGyM no i am near Duquesa (Estepona) and they came up on a Forum here is a link. facebook.com/groups/779335778824037/?hoisted_section_header_type=recently_seen&multi_permalinks=4700488310042078
@@PhilipGunn In that case, I recommend that you ask the dealer any questions and he will be able to tell you. There are motorcycles that can fail, bad luck is always present, but if there is a guarantee behind you, you are calmer. It is also true that the owner of the motorcycle and how he cares for it greatly affects the reliability of the motorcycle.
Good Morning, thanks for watching our videos! Beta did change a few things for 2022 just depends on what model you are looking at. The 250/300 engines got new diaphram clutches. The 300cc 2-stroke has a new motor layout. Some of the Race Editions got some upgrades: The 4-Stroke race editions now have traction control and the 2-Stroke 200 has a slightly different engine than the standard 200 RR.
Check out this press release on the betausa.com website. It helps show some of the new stuff for 2022! Thanks, Jared betausa.com/content/SUPPORT_PDF%27s/2022_RR_Release.pdf
I managed to title my 2022 XT here in WI. And yes, Beta provides a horn and signal wiring, and a fan. But you still have short gearing and unbalanced knobbies! Mirrors and a plate bracket, no big deal. But I'm 5' 11" and 185 and it's winding pretty high at 55 - 60 mph, though barely broken in. Am going to try a 15T front and balancing the wheels, but can't ride until April!! If you're gonna ride 10 miles or more at highway speeds, I'd suggest the rr for more street power.
