- Beta Demo ride from this past weekend. Got to ride them all around their woods loop to get a good feel for all of them. I've owned a '23 Xtrainer for the past year so I'm very familiar with that bike and have been wanting to compare it to their other offerings.

200s are awesome, best bike ive owned. Light and flickable with enough low end and easy revving. I'd go for the 350 if I ever go 4 stroke again.
Great video and I like your review and riding
Thank you, I appreciate the feedback! Never know if my commentary is boring. Glad to hear people are enjoying it lol. That 200 would be a very close 2nd choice for me after thinking back on it.
This is a great review for me because after 80 hrs/ 1,700 miles of trail riding in the UK / France on my '22 Xtrainer I've been doing lots of research on 'do I need to replace it and if so with what' on the Beta range and I think you've just summed it the position I'm in too, which is stick with the Xtrainer.
Late last year I got the front resprung for my 80Kg base weight + K-Tech ORVS valving front/rear. This along with the gnarly pipe is, if I'm honest, 90% of all I'll ever need as an average Joe weekend rider. Faster pace in the open and any landing more than a foot or 2 is it's weak point, but fixing that probably compromises the flexibility it offers elsewhere.
Really appreciate you doing all the testing for me and saving me a lot of money .. 😂
Keep up posting please and I reckon it's worth getting the XT dialed in ... as much as I really enjoyed it out of the box for modest investment it can be even better 👍
Awesome, I’m glad it helped! As you said there are trade offs everywhere but the XTrainer just suits my riding style and terrain closer than any other bike I’ve been on to date. I’ll definitely be messing with the suspension soon and actually setting the sag! Lol
Excellent video of a real rider giving real-time views of the difference between the various models! Thank you
Thanks!
What a great day out! Thanks for sharing, a nice honest review.
Thanks for watching!
That would be fun I’ll check and see if they are coming to my area.
It’s def worth it
Great video.
Did you figure out the suspension difference in the Xtrainer?
Mines factory setting and wishing it felt a little more planted too.
Just finishing up the break in and coming off a 450 dual sport, figured I just needed to get use to it.
Get out in the woods, we need more Xtrainer content. Lol
Keep up the great videos.
Not yet, haven’t had much time to monkey with it yet but will be soon. I’m embarrassed to say that I haven’t even set my sag on the Xtrainer. It just felt good to me so I left it alone. That may have something to do with it. The only thing I ever changed was slowing down the rebound on the forks to keep it from deflecting as bad. It was working for me so I figured leave it alone…now I know there is more potential in it. And thanks for watching! I should have some more Xtrainer stuff soon!
Great content looked like an awesome day out thought the might have tempted you for a trade in but soon as you were on the Xtrainer not happening . Yet ???
Thank you! I thought so too…after a year on the XT, I thought bud want more. Apparently not. The XT fits me well.
I sold my YZ250 2stroke
And having to buy a rego bike with snap,I'm guessing the 300rr is the one ?
Also have you tried the Austrian bikes ?
Yeah the 300 is pretty awesome and has plenty of that snap you are looking for. It can be adjusted too with the power valve bolt for when you want that hot to come in. I haven’t had any long enough rides on the Austrian bikes to be able to give an honest opinion.
My problem is that I want all of them for every different occasion. I'm going to get a 300 race edition next. I think ( and hope ) I can enjoy it in the tight technical single track but still ride it fast-ish in the harescrambles and hit the big hill climbs. I want a 350 too though lol
Lol I hear you…I wish I could have the 200 race, Xtrainer, 300rr and a 350rr for good measure! Faster trails I’m sure that 300 will be perfect. The Xtrainer can climb though too….I’ve hit some pretty nasty hills on that thing and it eats them up.
I just got the 300 race. I live in the mountains of Idaho. It’s amazing all around.
@@rayvee482 I need to get my 300 and head out to the gold creek lodge. Incredible views in that part of the country.
@@ratherberiding5964 Yeah buddy. Incredible views and great riding. Graham Jarvis claims Idaho has the best single track in the world. He might know a thing or two. Haha. 🍻
@rayvee482 man, I’d love to be able to get out there and ride. Looks gorgeous.
Excellent. Really like the opinion and comments on the bikes at the end. Still didn’t help me decide though 😢 I ride a combo of faster flowing single track AND tighter, slower technical stuff. So what’s the best ALL AROUND bike? 300RR? Really appreciate your effort with the channel!
Thanks for watching! How tall are you? I’m 5’8” and roughly 180-185. I can still touch on the 300RR but I know if I got into super tight off camber stuff, I’d be fighting it. If you are tall enough, I think you’d be fine with the 300RR. Still got plenty of low end and is a rocket up top.
@@Garage2Trail 6’0” 200 Lbs without gear. Not too crazy about the rocket up top as that’s what I’m trying to avoid by considering a 200RR or XTrainer.
@@Garrettactical ok well the Xtrainer might be sprung too softly for you at speed but a couple of my buds were there that day roughly your size really liked the Xtrainer for how easy it is to ride. Super forgiving. Not sure how hard they were pushing it though. The 200 LOVES to rev and I felt needed to be in the mid-upper rpms to be in the meat of the power. Feels just as light and flickable as the Xtrainer but with better suspension for higher speed stuff minus the bottom end grunt of the Xtrainer. For what you describe, if you got the Xteainer and revalved the suspension, that might be what you’re looking for. Have you checked the beta website to see if they are doing any demo rides near you?
@@Garage2Trail I have checked the demo list yes. All the events currently posted are 8+ hours drive from me. Your experience with the 200 probably solves that decision for
Me. I’m not one to ride in the upper rpm’s ranges. I like to keep the revs down and use low to mid power and that’s about it. Pretty much like you riding your Xtrainer. Although my trails are not all tight and slow. About 50/50
I’d say. Really appreciate your input on this.
@Garrettactical ok I think you’ll like the XTrainer. I can’t say mine are all 1st and 2nd gear trails…we do have flowing and fairly fast stuff here and there and it’s great there…the only place it lacks is 5th and 6th gear blasts on wide open stuff…specifically whooped out wide open stuff. That’s the only place I can get uncomfortable on that bike. The other benefit to the XTrainer is you can easily tune it to get 300RR top endpower if you desire down the road with a carb rejet, airbox snorkel change and an FMF fatty but mine is still bone stock keeping the meat of the power right off idle and through the mid range. It’s still got plenty of power for the big hill climbs too.
Hey, did you tell me if you had Facebook Snapchat Instagram discord anything like that that I could contact you on? I’m looking out for your comments now I can’t even find a video that I replied on.
Yup I have instagram. Look for garage_2_trail.
