      Hrmmm. Didn't think either of these companies made motocrossers. Just enduro/offroad racers. Quite frankly both of these companies probably sell more trials bikes alone in Europe than they sell bikes period in the US. Only non-austrian euro mx bike i can think of is Fanatic and TM. Maybe some other boutiques.

    If you were comparing in a woods setting I have no doubt you would give the point for maneuverability to Sherco. The turning radius in tight single track is the Beta's weakest point. As far as suspension, stock for stock the Sherco has a KYB shock and Beta has Sachs, no contest there. Valving on an enduro bike is going to be a lot different than an mx bike as well.

    Another thing to consider on the sherco is the electric power valve which lets you program the mapping the way you want if you have the right cable. The software for the sherco’s mapping is also free and easy to use. If you prefer a harder hit and better top end power at the sacrifice of low end power you can change the bike to be more like the beta.

    Thanks for making this video but it's totally pointless. One a 250, the other a 300. One Enduro, the other motocross based, not the same wheel size. Non standard suspension, non standard ergonomics. Tyres not the same as far as I can tell. This wouldn't help someone go and buy a Sherco off the floor. So much as been changed it's not even the same bike anymore. Trying not to sound all negative on this but it has to be relevant. On a positive note I like the editing and you boys know how to ride plus eloquent 👍 I'd just like to see two OEM bikes of the same category and same capacity back to back as I'm sure many others would also.

    It's important to also take into consideration suspension set up and type of tires. I know that stock tires could be better on the Betas.
    And brakes work better on the Betas if you change to a different fluid. Stock fluid not the best.
    The Sherco is a premium bike but still lacks a good selection of aftermarket parts, etc.

    I think the comparison is not fair. if you exclude the brakes, the brembos were stronger, ok. in anything else since the cherco is set up with ohlins shock absorbers. no other comparison was to be made. three things play a role, the chassis, the shock absorbers, and the tires. so for me it was not an objective comparison of two companies, just two motorcycles that you happen to have in your possession. anyone who knows about machines will agree with me.

You should have at least compared the same 250 or 300 size motor. There should have been 18” rear wheels. It’s bs with tricked out ohlins onSherco. . I can’t finish watching this. It’s lame.
