- Is this the enduro bike we've all been looking for? It's lightweight, super tractable, kind on the wallet, easy to ride when the going gets tough, oil injected, and light on maintenance. Australian off-road icon, Geoff Ballard sure thinks so!
Find out why Ballard likes this unique 300 model from Beta, and why it's his go-to bike for single trail and the 2022 Australian 4-Day Enduro... - กีฬา
Im wanting to get back into riding and have looked at every bike on the market , i keep coming back to this one
Sold my 2021 race edition that I preordered from Beta “ BYOB” program and told my self that I would not sell this bike. But after a few US Hard Enduro race I decided to sell it and I got the 2022 Beta Xtrainer and instantly loved it. 4 hours on the race edition and I was pooped, but 4 hours on my Xtrainer and I am fine ready for next ride
A great honest no BS review thanks Geoff. I have the 2021 and it does exactly what I want it to do - my days of Supercross and bit jumps are way behind me - the xTrainer has not missed a beat after 100 hours and yes I still run oil injection without issue! Keep up the great job
I've been Riding Dirt bikes over fifty years I agree with you one hundred percent
I did a Beta demo ride. Came away thinking Xtrainer was the best single track bike in the group.
Love my 22 300 Xtrainer. My riding has improved heaps. Single track, enduro this the is the 1.
I like the way you phrase this;
''I don't dwell on the technical stuff''
I don't either, I'm at the point where
I know how to trouble shoot issues,
do maintenance, and rebuild top ends,
that sort of thing, that's all I concern
myself with.
I'm a light weight rider, own the 21 model since new up here in Coffs Harbour, Ive owned many dirt bikes & I must say this, there's not many hills I don't get up on this bike. We ride valleys, single track, rocks, mud, rain forest, rivers etc and the bike just eats it up. The low end power is awesome. I swapped out the oil injection and now run pre mix and the bike is so crisp on the note! yeah it was a bit weird when new, but a few tweaks and ridden in, seemed to have fixed it's way of breathing. I run heavy duty tubes greased with assembly grease and keep the tube lock nut tight!
This is 💯 exactly how I feel about my 22 does everything I ask it to without missing a beat
I bought one two days ago! Thanks Mr. Ballard for your statements.
I've been on a 2021 crf250rx thinking I was going to do more track riding. I'm very new to 2 stroke enduro bikes but everything I've seen points me to the 300xtrainer. Great bike for decent money, great review man.
I hope you ended up,getting a 2 smoker, nothing beats them for tight nasty woods 🐾✌️🇺🇸
@@deborahchesser7375 not yet! Still have to sell my Honda and hopefully when the 2024s come out it'll be sold.
@@HolyRider22 an older IT Yamaha or KDX Kaw are the perfect tools for the job 🐾✌️🇺🇸
just bought this bike yesterday cant wait to ride it
There is a bike for everybody. I rode a 21 stock and it didn't like my aggressive riding style. Glad I tried it because I always wanted one.
Just picked up 23 xtrainer what an awesome bike
Outstanding video mate ! Total honesty about the bike, 2031 and 2022 both in hand to share the comparison and any differences you found. In my (wanna be) thinking I'd look at the RR or RRX Betas but in my ( realistic - grounded in truth about my abilities and time away from riding/racing ! ) thinking this and the 2023 X-Trainer will be the obvious choice. Love the honest review ~ subscribed !
I'm 5'8 with a 30 inch inseam, so I've been looking at this bike lately. Currently ride a KTM 350 and I can never touch the ground when I need to on the harder trails.
keep improving, soon you won't care that you can't touch the ground.
@@theradioison that’s a fact ! No more dabbing the feet all the time like a duck waddling, feet up power slides 🐾✌️🇺🇸
Really like this guy,interesting matter of fact,no bull,ride anything
Yep, I want one.
I'd be interested to know the jetting used
Great review 👌
Traded my 22 Xtrainer for a 22 300RR. It was coming time to spend some money on suspension and the 300rr is more versatile so that’s where I went.
Nothing inspired more confidence than the XT and I’d recommend it for anyone wanting to ride trails under 35mph. It certainly can ride anything, but I’d describe the handling as swappy once in 4th gear
Yep - I sold my 2019 XT when I came to feel the limits of the suspension - fantastic in tight ST
How about hill climbs? I'm a beginner though.
@@kordapyo612 the best little donkey to pull you up gnarly hill climbs.
Beta’s plastics are fragile and crunchy. But I can’t find aftermarket shrouds for 2023 Xtrainer. That’s a big problem
Not trying to start an argument, but wasn't there a ban on 2 strokes over 225cc in the 1990 small spark engine report?
Hi m8
Did you remove the resonator spacer on your 2022 model
Since I have seen this video and considering that Geoff (if that is his name) is a much better rider than me, I am not sure if I will buy the 300RR I always wanted. Damn! The smaller tank is the only thing that bothers me. I am totally puzzled which one to get.
IMS has a 2.9 gallon for it
So... he managed to mention suspension several times but didn't say what he did in the end ? or did I miss it ? :D
My thoughts also, but it looks as there is an older Sachs rear shock on it (pre 2020).
Hey Fellas, Ballard went around the block trying different suspension, but ended up preferring the standard setup.
The configuration shown in the video featured a different rear shock, but Geoff went on to swap it back to the stock shock.
How are the xtrainers at climbing? I heard they can struggle because of poor top end power?
In the technical hills we tested the bike in, the Xtrainer lugged up better than anything else. Some of the hills Ballard rides the thing up are down right silly.
Trials bikes are not exactly top end brutes and they climb better than any other dirt bike. Top end power is not a critical factor for climbing.
We have one. It’s astonishing how effective it is at climbing, descending, crossing logs, basically anything you throw at it.
I”ve got a 2019 xtrainer. The bike is a mountain goat on steroids, point it and away it goes.
Turn your damn commercials down TH-cam!
