  • Main track onboard from the end of another Glen Helen practice day. Picked up the pace with each passing lap, as the Beta is a unique platform and simply takes a little time to adjust. Great suspension and brakes, just a smoother 450 than many are accustomed to!

    What map do you prefer? The rainy icon or the blue sun icon?

      Blue sun, all day long. I'm not a fan of most traction control systems or mellow maps, as I primarily ride prepped tracks. It's a good option to have in challenging conditions though! Good question

    Looks like you bought it? Experiences so far? It looked like you were looking for a rut or a berm. How does it compare? Thanks for posting, nice riding but no commentary.

      Not a personal bike, just a single day test session. Good bike with great brakes and suspension package. Not really a fan of the stock Maxxis ST tires which may be why there was a bit of hesitancy in the turns - Good eye. Beta's have solid build quality and stock components, but this bike will take a special buyer for its first-year introduction. With time, I believe it will be an extremely viable Vet class weapon and you'll start seeing more and more of them trackside; there are already quite a few in the wild on the trails (for a reason!)...

    Tips for arm pump? I see that you are pretty fast your lap time is around 1 minutes 30 sec 🎉

      1. A'ME Grips. Glue on versions. Either full or half waffle, both work excellent.
      2. Find, and more importantly plan, a spot on the track where you can take a deep breath. Every lap. I usually relax/breathe over specific jumps/sections to keep it consistent.
      3. Off the bike training. Concept2 rower or MTBing helps ALOT. Running/Jogging, road cycling, interval training also good ideas.
      Don't forget to enjoy every ride, and keep calm. Elevated heart rate is guaranteed, but how you deal with it can determine how fast you pump up. Also, grip like you're holding a tennis racquet or opening or a door knob, not straight-handed white knuckle style! Hopefully these tips help and Thanks for watching
