- We have got our hands on the NEW Beta Evo 250 2-stroke Factory edition and it's time to put it through its paces. Has there really been any improvement because from the outset we can't see a lot of it!
We won't hold back and we have drafted in some extra help also.
Honest review, honest interview and a great new episode for 2024!
This is Trialtube!

My first Beta was a TR 34 loved it!
Beta fan here totally. I ride a 300 4T but had 5 betas but do agree they need to remember what bike made there new roads.
It does need a bit more than different colour scheme. But like you said people are still buying them because for most of us there more than capable of giving what we need. But time is time.
Indeed, Even a Beta fan can get bored…?
Thank you
🙏🙏
beautiful and colourful work of art, beta has certainly gone a long way since my beta zero days.
Still the same colours as the original
Its about time someone called Beta out Well done Trial tube
Can’t help it….its what we do!
@@TrialTube Is the any talk behind the scenes that there maybe a major update coming ? have you heared anything ?
Great episode and good to see more on the kids bikes. My lad (5) now rides a trs on-e 20 and they are awesome!! He’s not big enough for the oset 20r so was riding a 20 lite but although a great bike they feel very underpowered. I was actually just about to start putting the 20r power system into his 20 lite when we tried a friends on-e 20 and were sold!! The weight is similar to the 20lite (with lithium power) but the suspension is much better they just seem to find more grip everywhere. He loves it and his riding is coming on in leaps and bounds (and crashes😂)
Amazing and glad we could highlight this fantastic machine!!!
I made the same comment a couple weeks ago that I believe Stu said now that beta is in supercross/motorcross and enduro it’s like they have forgotten about trials because it doesn’t bring in the same amount of money, and it’s sad because trials made them
Correct!!!
Totaly agree on what’s you have sed. Indoor trials looks awesome at trials day defo need to book in and come down . Keep up all good work Danny and stu 👍
Thanks! Will do!
Thank you 🙏
I thank you so much that you show and focus more the motorcycle than your faces like presenters and hosts of this beautiful program. That's be objective and honest too
Who else would have the balls to paint their swing arm red?
The 2024 TRS RR. But the TRS actually looks good.
Oh yeah, and Fantic.
Good point 👍🏻👍🏻
It's an all a masterpiece of the design. Amazing🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹👏👏👏
For atleast ten years
Such a great watch!
Thanks man!!
Cheers 👍🏻
Questions for you. Do Beta still add extra flywheel weight for UK bikes? I have ridden all the same bikes that you have. I am back on a Factory Beta now after Vertigo and GG. In the past both my son and I had 250s and 300s. I think the 250 Beta is the best 250 money CAN buy. I have been truly impressed with the suspension on my Factory, the brakes, and sorry there is NOT a bike made that grips better
I was told that all the Betas that enter the UK are “super soft” by John Lampkin a few years ago. The 250 is lovely but in the 300 the Vertigo wins on the grip side of things hands down. It’s preference of course though! Thanks again for the support !
Absolument incroyable…c'est un des plus formidables trial pour moi, en 250CC; Je la trouve magnifique; Franchement si j'avais l'argent je pourrais acheter le modéle ici....
Beta is still pretty new to the US market. They had to invest in Supercross for the brand recognition. Seriously, I'd say half of the Supercross fanbase never heard of Beta until this year. IMHO Beta is in the same position KTM was in the mid-90s...about to explode in popularity. That will bring so many new riders to the trials side of the sport.
Thank you
You're welcome
The TRRS is a great kids bike, but be careful and regularly check the battery. Even though it's screwed in, there is a little bit of movement (maybe a millimetre or 2) where the battery rattles against the frame and over time rubs through the outer layer/insulation. I personally know of at least 3 bikes that had this issue within our local trials clubs, one of them even caught on fire. My son's TRRS after less than a year of riding started to have issues where the battery on a full charge would only last 20min of riding. When we took the battery out, it had rubbed multiple holes and the insides of the battery would touch the metal frame. The factory didn't do a full replacement, but sold a new battery at a heavily discounted price. If you have access to a company that builds or repairs lithium batteries, you can ask them to cover the battery with additional layer of insulation (ours was dipped in some kind of rubbery material) to minimise the risk of this happening. The bike is great, but the battery looks very low quality, especially when compared to high-end eMTB batteries, etc.
Thanks for the comment. This is great news to hear that Bike is very well received however I do completely agree with you there in many of these little Bikes. The overall component is pretty poor.
I suppose they’re trying to keep the cost down because if you look at them and compare them to the cost of an e-mountain bike, then there has got to be some sacrifices.
Great show as always. I'm told that in 2020(?) Beta redesigned the rear mud guard (fender here in the states) reshaping the end of it and making it out of much "bendier" plastic that "hopefully" isn't as brittle as the old plastic. Have you been able to tell if there's a difference between the flexibility of the old and new fenders?
Both are rubbish lol
Thanks
Welcome
great upload as usual
ta
Thank you! Cheers!
Thank you
I once had a Beta Evo factory 2014. At the time it was great the only thing I wish beta could do is to make a more flexible mudguard, they always snapped off in the cold
Nothing has changed on that front
Great video have you seen the trs 80cc yet ?😀😂👍
Yeah really cool
Great to see epic bikes for the little ones are now coming back 😊
I have a TRS 80 on the way so that could be the next new bike I take on a little road trip with me!
Hard to see for sure but the weld on the rad hanger at 26:28 looks suspect? Undercut?
Just Italian
My Oset is my greatest asset
Fair doos lol
Trs is a mega kids bike, far superior to the Oset in every way, just need them to make a 24 version 👌 Love my Beta but they need to get with the times and offer something on the factory bikes to make them special, different paint doesn’t cut it
👏👏👏👏👏👏
Glad you agree 👍🏻
Use zip ties for the mudguard, let the zipt ties break, not the mudguard
We know, see my very first video for the same tip but they don’t always work
I dont ride Betas, good bikes but they dont suit me. As much as agree that the bike has changed little in recent years you have to look at the results too. Grattarola has been a revelation on the Beta and then look how good the Hemingway lads are doing. Its certainly still competitive
The bikes that both of those riders are in our factory, built and Carry none of the characteristics of the standard bike. I have had the privilege to ride at a factory. Beta and I can tell you now the suspension, the power delivery and the overall b build quality is far from the consumer Bike
Sorry about the wording there was dictating into the phone. Useless…
Can’t see why anyone looking to buy a brand new bike would buy one of these. Same bike for 10+ years. And not even Reiger or tech on the full factory models
It’s beyond me too (if I am honest) but people don’t like change obviously 😂
Time to change 👍🏻
love beta hate the red... too much, love the grey, I was dumbstruck when I saw the factory in red.
I want the factory in grey....
I think a fair few people think the same!
Not a big red fan at all. GasGas used to offer a few colors, now all red. Beta has always been heavy on the red but when combined with blue looks decent. And now TRS the last couple years has really leaned into the red as well.
So if this engine is so smooth and manageable, is there any point of the 200. Think about buying a new bike but more in the old age (me) white line rider category. And as a light weight (56kg) should I get the lightest bike I can.
It just feels lighter the 200 for some reason
The 200 is a great choice for older lads , super forgiving
Stabil junge
Indeed, stable machine.
Beautiful bike but, overdue for a new design..
Indeed
There are huge flaws in the evo coming from an evo owner..1 the plastic front fender is garbage and is a major weak point. One light down of the bike can take you out of a trials comp..your front end is done .and second is the flywheel side too fat ! One crash focused on the flywheel corner and you WILL crack/damage your engine case. Mine was magnesium too (brittle metal!) the engine is too fat compared to the gasgas
All true!!
And that’s why we are on GasGas
Trial isn't popular anymore, of course beta has to invest on somethimg else also because hard enduro is getting popular and beta engines are perfect for it
Trials is getting more popular again but the mindset of “it isn’t popular” doesn’t help!
Most riders need some trials skills trust me. As a trials person watching amateur hard enduro is hard to watch. Basic trials ability would transform these riders abilities…
It's a foolish take on trials. What about the beta is stopping you from cleaning sections? Zero. Do you want pointless new technology added so prices go up which makes it harder for people to enter trials? Let's see, Vertigo has EFI, it's snappy, but doesn't help anyone ride better yet has a price tag higher than most dirt bikes! Sherco's / Scorpa's EFI rollout has not been successful on the consumer side, especially in the U.S. market (with zero 2024's available), Honda / Montesa is also unchanged. Gas gas was way behind the market and they updated to a semi modern frame, yet they have not fixed their reliability issues so that isn't something to boast about. That leaves TRS. A solid trials bike albeit with problematic electric starters and a small distribution network. They don't have any different technology than the other bikes. Lastly, the FIM sets the rules that these bikes adhere to. There is not much wiggle room in some of the existing areas to allow for development. I will concede that the rear mud guard needs to go.
What a comment, fair play to ya. As for what the Beta lacks. It’s dated frame, Airbox and suspension package is now not really what most consumers aspire to purchasing. Which is important as most people want to buy to the best of their financial capabilities. No doubt the Beta is a solid platform (I have owned ten of them) but the simple fact is….they don’t change or develop ANYTHING. (Honda are as bad).
As for EFI bikes such as the Vertigo and Sherco/Scorpa which all give a more positive reaction form the throttle to the back wheel. This can only be something that a high level ridier benefits from. Ask any of them (as I have to the highest level) the fuel injected bikes always have a better feel to them!
Trs are sh...t almost look like a copy of a beta frame and gas gas plastics.. beta rules let's be honest here ..beta power it runs through my blood .but like the video
Haha the baby TRS is decent man, I ain’t a fan of the bigger version tbh…
@@TrialTube the trs is just a wana be beta and it will never be a beta lol 😆 I have had a teckno and about 5 rev3 betas and a scorpa a sherco 250 bla bla thay all have thir faults and no bad bikes but the 2009 beta evo 250 has dun it for me she is a bit lazy on the shocks and rear aswell but am getting on now and she still puts a smile on my face brill bikes sad that thay changed the bottom end set up in 2014..15 as I purchased a 2015 last year and I rebuild the bike and sold it as it wasn't raw like the old beta .. beta needs to remember whir its roots are and need to keep that bottom end burst its brill 👍 the newer 2015 bike felt like I could give it to my wee girl to ride lol it just took the effort out the bike so not for me .. big bottom end heavy and reliable works for me ..good chat 👍
