Great vids! Looks fun! Love hard enduro!! Ok get a combo pipe guard like ptech makes for 200 rr’s. . Or whatever comparable combo guard for uour bike. No problems no pipes smashed or bent back at the neck.You'll save money and not need to fix a broken bike. Or.. get a burly aluminum skid plate and you make or get someone to make a custom pipe cage guard. It’s super common with Hawai’i riders or other hard enduro places around the world. A bunch have em here . Im running a ptech for my 300 . You won’t ever break or smash your pipe. Get a front and rear brake disc guard. Going in boulders and rock gardens and you just don’t need to worry about bending your disc or breaking.
At last someone reving this bike up in the powerband. So many vids around of lugging the bike (which it does well) buti want to see how it performs in top end
I ride a 2018 xc and also a beta trials bike. When I took a buddies 200 for a ride I just couldn't get past the how much less the handle bars will turn. The engine is a marvel though.
I use enduro engineering skid plate on my ktm 85sx big wheel. I recommend to put polisport universal exhaust guard (armadillo) for your exhaust, i make research that its good. I'll purchase it soon on ebay. Anyway..keep on riding strong
Looks amazing I will buy the 300rr but I like small engines so what do you think , I’m from Mexico City altitud riding from 2500 mts to 3000 aprox like 9000 ft
Before this bike I had zero experience with 200's, the opportunity presented itself for me to ride one for a little and I jumped on it. I can't even explain how much fun this bike is to ride.
Pipe guards are not smart to run. The pipe is designed to dent and bend instead of putting 100% of the forces into the exhaust flange. The pipe guards themselves cost nearly as much as a new pipe anyway. There is absolutely no reason what so ever to run a pipe guard other than for looks if that's the look you're going for.
I have a 2020 200rr and love it. Only got 3 rides on it before the whole world shut down. The last yz125 i owned was a 1986 model but regardless I'd take the 200rr over any 125
I ride similar, a trials bike and very tight, steep, terrain. You may be the first person who can tell me why the 200 over a 300? Weight, torque and agility are paramount for the riding I do but I need to change up from the trials bike. Speed is never a factor. Nice vid, cheers.
I chose the 200 because it's different. The 200 is in a little smaller frame than the 250/300. It's hard to beat the fun factor of this 200 but 300's rule the tight gnarly terrain! You know how big bore trials bikes are a little easier to ride than a 125 trials bike, but they can get out of hand pretty quick. That's the difference between the 200 and 300👍
@@MattSpears I tried that and went back to stock. I like my bike a little on the rich side. She's not good on mpg's or spooge but the power is soooo sweet! If anything I might try a 42 pilot
I’d just get a kicker too just for insurance. Battery dies or something... just kick and keep riding all day. I demoed a 200 rr. Love this bike. I live my 300 rr bit this feels great too.
Matt Spears I do a mix of everything. A lot of rocks will do some harescrambles and Jday races. I have a Wr250r now so anything’s better but I am over 200 lbs

That’s really good to know! thanks for the tech tip

Thanks man! There will be more vids of the bike as I get more familiar😁

If that bike had a downfall the turning was it
The BEAST Rider😮
You are a great rider....thanks
Thanks!
where is this trail?
Can you do a video explaining the different mappings/modes in the bike?
Yeah for sure man! The difference between the modes is crazy!

Awesome man!!! Keep on ripping👍
sweet video might be picking one up soon. what kind of milage do you get out of a tank and is this a race edition or trail?
rellik53977 this is the normal one...I really like the oil injection. Not quite sure on the mileage, but it’s very similar to carbed 2t Ktm’s👍
What’s the estimated pressure of what you say for a really soft mousse? Just wondering.. thanks!
They feel really good around 3 psi
Looks amazing I will buy the 300rr but I like small engines so what do you think , I’m from Mexico City altitud riding from 2500 mts to 3000 aprox like 9000 ft
300 for sure with that altitude
@@MattSpears yes i think to ,thanks bro
@@MattSpears or a Lectron carb
Why did you not go for beta 300? Thanks

200 is so nimble and fast

100% agree.
Beautiful bike Matt. Is the seat height lower than a KTM?
Len Pavia thank you! Yes the seat height is lower
Your videos are making it hard to pick the 200RR or a Yz125x!
Hahaha just wait... I'm starting to get the hang of this 200 :)

Kyle Sherman the 200 is the goat🤘
Did you go down a tooth on the front sprocket?
John Fuqua nope this is stock settings
Stock gearing being 14-49 ? Amazing bike and sick vids Matt 😎
AM AUTOMOTIVE thank you! Yep I’m pretty sure that’s stock
What made you go with the 200 and not the 250 or 300?
Fun factor/changing it up😁
Small bore is where its at in th3 woods! My buddy dominates hare scrambles on a husky 150. A good rider can zing through the woods at lightspeed
Reginal carrar little bikes are definitely a blast!
What gearing are you running?
Stock gearing for now

Matt Spears I’ve seen that it’s a smaller frame but reading specs, it doesn’t seem much different. Does it feel smaller riding? I’m a shorty..
Debating between the 200 and an xtrainer..
jball The x trainer feels much smaller than both the 200 and 300. How tall are you and what do you enjoy riding?
The 200 is so awesome I have 2.
Heck yeah man!!!
What jetting did you settle on and what elevation you at?
This is stock jetting, runs awesome!!!
@@MattSpears I've tried a few different setting and always come back to stock jetting. If it aint broke don't fix it!
Runs awesome! Just for fun I may lean the needle out one clip

Yeah a kicker is a great bit of insurance
hp?
That is a big difference on that map switch
crazy how much of a difference it makes
It’s hard enduro Idaho! Been following you for a while on instagram (@verdi_enduro) cool to see your yt channel 👍
Thanks man! I appreciate the support!
#mattspears internationally known on the microphone 🏁
I’m between the 300 and the 200 now after watching this. Ugh!
It's such a fun bike! What kind of terrain to you ride? If you ride mainly single track I'd 100% get a 200!
Matt Spears I do a mix of everything. A lot of rocks will do some harescrambles and Jday races. I have a Wr250r now so anything’s better but I am over 200 lbs
gotopless141 I just posted a vid that may help answer your question. A 300 may suit you better because I’m only 160lbs
yeaahh!!!
That is one gnarly bike!!!
Great bike!
Matt Spears I bet! Might have to try one out sometime!!
Pipe guard's are not worth it. Buy Polisport Plastics and will never crack.
I agree with the pipe guards!
What year was ur 300xc?
