Great video, thanks for sharing it with us! The wheels of the XTrainer and full size models are different. While the holes for the valve stem and rim lock are 4 spokes apart on the big models they are opposite on the XTrainer's. you may say that plays no role, but it does when you run Tubliss systems.
Thanks for the info! I suppose I never noticed the holes in the rims! We have always ran mouse bibs in our wheels. I have 3 sets of wheels for our pro rider Mark who runs our shop build hard enduro XTrainer. The other two sets are standard Beta rims so I suppose as long as you are not running tubless everything should be good to go for a swap. Enjoy The Ride, Jared
I put tubliss on my xtrainer with no issues, and i didn't drill extra holes. Just have to line it up before putting it in. Tire soap works better than soapy water no matter what you use, tube, or mousse etc...
You said before, “Only the European models come with the safety lanyard.” Correct? Reason I’m asking is the dealer I work for just got our first delivery of beta and is the new beta dealership in Michigan and our Xtrainer 250 does indeed have the electric safety lanyard. Hope you can help me make sense of this.
Ive always heard it was more on how the bike handles in the woods as it will feel lighter as the lighter piston(250 is usually cast instead of forged on top of being smaller) has less gyroscopic effect on handling and change directions easier. That was reviews from the older 250 xt where it was just the bore difference so the power delivery was smother on the 250 where looking at the specs on these the 250 has longer stroke and smaller bore so it does seem the motors flip between over and under bore so sort of redundant as long stroke 250 will probably be almost identical to larger bore shorter stroke 300.
I am hoping to get these in the woods to give a better test, not the most exciting test with me riding them down a drive way... I was just hoping to feel a bigger difference. Enjoy The Ride, Jared
@@3SeasRecreation looking forward to it, Ive owned an xt and loved it but when the funds/family situation allows I am looking at several options(250/300 xt or 200rr, or possibly 390 if I decide to use an Electric motion XR as my hard enduro bike and 390 for dual sport/xc race bike)
Hey question I have a 300x trainer with the choked up air box 2024 model. If I just go with the open air filter cage what do you recommend doing with the jetting go up a size on the main?
Hey, that's a good question. I think the Beta's come pretty rich on jetting so I wouldn't touch it. Normally folks go down a main and pilot jet so you should be 100% fine with stock jetting and the air filter change. However, always pay attention to the bike and check your plug occasionally!

Hey Jared :-) regarding the 250 not feeling as peppy, it's kind of hard to tell in the video but I'm pretty sure in your driveway test you were in the rain map on the 250. Looked like the right side White LED was illuminated. Not sure if you knew that or not.
Yea I definitely thought about that during the editing… Sadly I never notice much of a difference in the maps so even with that I’m still thinking there isn’t much of a difference…
I just got the 250 Xtrainer. It's my first 2 strokes, and I love it so far. Great video as always.
Glad you are enjoying it! Thanks for watching!
Nice, Cant wait to see the new Race model.

My 2024 Beta Xtrainer 300 came with the regular air cage. Not the restricted one

Bet your mother called you a bitch and a miserable weasel.
Hey, no all Beta XTrainers come with the lanyard I just don't install them. Enjoy The Ride, Jared
Remember your jetting isn't going to be spot on either.You're running double the oil
Yep, it would be nice to get a few that are broken in and in the woods with the guys! Maybe next summer! Enjoy The Ride, Jared
Nice one! Can we use the 250cc standard air filter cage on 300cc? Is it okay/safe?
Yes, absolutely. We have been using the stock 2-stroke air filter cage in the Beta XTrainer 300s with no issues! Enjoy The Ride, Jared
@@3SeasRecreation Thank you! I really appreciate that! Does it need to be jetted after air filter cage swap?

@3SeasRecreation thanks man 🤙🏻
I love my beta's but I do not see the need for the 250 Xtrainer. The 300 xtrainer is so user friendly.
We agree! However, there is always someone looking for something different so that's why the make more than one model. Enjoy The Ride, jared

Remind me where your jetting isn't going be right either. You're running double the oil
I'd love to get one of these bikes (250) but they are way too tall for me.
Hmm, keep in mind they offer a 2" lowering kit and also a lower seat. Maybe those modifications will help? Enjoy The Ride, Jared
@3SeasRecreation That's good to know, thanks Jared!
