- The the world of off-road, Beta has a long and successful track record with world titles in many enduro racing disciplines. But in motocross, they’ve never offered a specific moto machine for the track. Until now... The 2021 Beta 300 RX is their first moto bike and we get the pleasure of testing it for a couple months. This video is after our first day of riding and we were primarily just getting acquainted with all the different components on the machine. More to come so stay tuned.

2:30 is this mans talking about naturally aspirated engines in a dirt bike like what?when’s the last time you’ve seen a non naturally aspirated dirt bike.
Weird, and he’s fiddling with the low speed clicker to raise the rear end. 🤔
Right,, pretty sure I've seen a turbo'd or super charged off road bike from any manufacturer 😊👍
I think he is mistaking betas oil injection with ktms fuel injected. Still he obviously doesn't know what he is talking about.
He is referring to carbureted vs, fuel injected bikes. Chill dude. Cheers.
Got my new 300rx turbo
Fantastic looking bike.wish i was still riding. Nice to see some Two Strokes coming back again🙏👍
Definitely been waiting for this test for sure just hope it's a big hit here in the states.
Depending on how long you have to wait for parts. If it’s like others, and have to wait two weeks for simple parts, in one year word will get out and it will fail.
my brother works at one of the biggest moto dealerships in the US and he tells me the 300 2 strokes no matter the manufacturer sell out faster than any other bike
These bikes are gonna be in motocross later on in the future they are coming up ,they seem like good bikes and lately been seeing them at the track.
Got the power valve adjustment backwards. Out all the way flush gives the biggest “hit”. Running it in softens the hit
Not really. The more you turn it in, the longer the power valve stays closed into the RPM range. Eventually the R's will get high enough for the PV to open..... combine the sudden opening of the PV with high RPM's and you have one hell of a "hit" coming.
The reason why running the adjuster "in" gets a reputation for softening the hit, is because the guys that prefer it that way typically NEVER ride in the upper portions of the range
@@simplejackenduro Thank god someone with some sense replied to this power valve topic...all the PV does in regulate, (in time with engine rpm), between the pv being closed and pv open. On the KTM's, there are (3) diff springs that offer less, stock, more resistance against the internal pv centrifugal system. As you turn the adj in, you are applying more resistance to the pv mechanism so it opens slower, turning out puts less pressure on it and the pv will flip open faster. When one of them says it felt flat on top when it was wide open and refers to the pv causing it, I am cringing...if it is wide open and under a full twist, the pv is open and not in play anymore. I like the bike review and all but some of the technical terms used by these guys makes them sound very uneducated on things. For the record, I used to own a mod shop for KTM/Husky years ago and have tuned more KTM's than any other tuner, period.
looks and sounds awesome
Sweet bike hope it does well here !
What a nice looking bike!
Yeahhh bring some 125/250 motocross versions as well.
Klinger thanks for the test, glad Beta finally got in the MX game. On that choppered out setup, raise the forks and use under 100mm sag since Beta's have less travel and you'll be good to go.
12.0 front
11.8 rear.
It contrast, the 2022 ktm 250sxf states
12.2 front
11.8 rear.
I would say this 300rx is equal in travel to other mx bikes.
Awesome job
Well done fellas.. Enjoyed your insight and discussion 👍.. ✌
Thank you guysss
How were the Michelins? Dunlop has all the major mags covered. I like Pirellis mid hards as an intermediate tire.
When they made a 500 2 stroke I will buy one
me too!
This is the most beautiful motorcross bike currently made in my opinion..my beta 430 rr-s is my favorite bike I've ever owned for my type of riding.
I want one !
Wonder how these stack up to the TM model. Ive been saving and eyeing up the TM but NOW I'm gonna have trouble making a decision.
How do you guys feel about a 6 speed gearbox for MX? I had a KTM 300XC setup for moto but I always felt like I was never in the right gear, to much shifting.
My 2000 125sx also has 6 gears and it feels just fine
Same gearing as 300 rr ?
The guy in the black gear has his power valve manipulation backwards. Turning the power valve out to flush brings the hit on earlier. Having a beta 300 I can tell you this bike is so smooth. The motor is the strong point for sure.
I fucking love mine
Another thing no mx bikes or enduro bikes uses turbos or blowers or even nitrous so all are naturally aspirated..
beta 300rx, vs 250sx, vs tc 250 vs tm 250 please
Well tm makes a 300 too so they might as well test that out instead of the 250😂
they need to make a wicked 300 4t mx bike like the TM 300fi
Good performance 👍
What class will this race in? With 450s? local races only in open?
Clean Bike 👍
Im really curious, can somone explain why they would go with anything other than a yz250 for a 2 stroke? YZ250 has 48.8 HP. The beta 300 has 39.3.
I understand that they made it bc there was only one 300 in the class. just looking for another opinion on that..
I love the look of the Beta, really has a factory look!
It has 39.3hp at 8300rpm and the yz250 has 39.2hp at 8500rpm.
I'm sure this bike is close to 50 hp
@Bill Madd I agree mostly. When I raced 250s you would wring the shit outta that thing compared to running 450s. Almost like the 150 SX but more shove down low. The 150 is another bike you're on the pipe to get what you want to outta of it tho. I would love to have this Beta to race vet class as 450s can try to kill you and I don't want to have more broken bones at 40. They vet guys I know that race are just trying to have a good time but still go fast. This seems like the perfect bike for that class, whether your C, B or A guy.
Yz has 46 ön the wheel 50 plus ön the crank
Yeah i go with a ktm 250sx because it has 51hp stock and weighs less and handles better then a yz250. As for this beta 39hp is a joke for motocross. Take that tractor power back to the woods. My ktm 250sx with jd jet kit and full pro circuit exhaust has 53hp. No comparison.
I’m stoked they want to join the motocross community but they need a 250 for the large amount of racers who want to race 250f and 450f class
I think there needs to be a push to replace the 250's with 300's in the 450 class.
@@WilliamStewart1 I definitely agree that in the 450 class 300 or slightly larger two strokes should be allowed, would definitely open some doors for two strokes.
Beta Italia the best
ALFA/BETA/=FREQUENCYS =HIGH +MIDDLE =FREQUENCYS MAKE UP THE UNIVERSE (GREAT WORK GENTLEMAN)
Go Beta
Not coming to where I live 😭
Import one mate where u 2
Is that a dressed up ktm them
Not even a little bit the same
@@Randawesome80 so bot the same engine and suspension no
@@1991enduro beta makes their own motors. KTM does not use Beta motors. KTM does not use KYB or Sachs suspension,. Only Beta does. Let’s and KTM are much different bikes. Betas vibrate more than KTM even with the new counter balancer. Beta gives a very balanced stable ride. KTM is smoother but “my opinion” KTM cock pit was more compact. KTM experiments a lot with innovation. KTM mass produces bikes. Beta is a small family owned company. KTM does a lot of great things. But for me,.. yes I’m a Beta brand lover. I’ll never own a KTM. No disrespect. I just prefer Beta
@@utahdesertrider1806 yeh I dobt mind them betas I like shercos too
Nope its much slower, garbage rear shock, but killer ergos and forks. A 300cc two stroke mx bike that doesnt crack 40hp is a joke. Unless this is a factory caused restriction ans can be corrected with mods.
Dang. Whats wrong with you americans?.
Beta doesnt primarily build offroad bikes, They primarily build trial bikes since forever, Full race enduro bikes and mopeds. ktm 990 or a honda africa twin are offroad bikes, Bikes like Ktm exc, Husky te/fe etc are full enduro race bikes made to compete in the enduro gp's and 6 days.
Another thing, one of you said that the chassi on european ENDURO bikes aint up to par with the japanese but dude, Every european enduro bike use the same chassi as their mx bikes except for the ones like sherco who doesnt make mx bikes..
LoL in mxgp they were under the first 3 and in the 6 days they are mostly at the top 5 but ok they can't compete with other brands so go look up their Budget and they See the Budget of Beta 😅😂
LOL Europeans can't make a point online without saying SOMETHING about Americans. Sorry we have a huge landmass and can race any type of biome we want besides arctic and rain forest.
How bout not selling for $9000 ?
@@jaysmokey sorry, LoL I don’t know the exact price but something tells me it’s not cheap?? Noticed they didn’t mention the price .
EVERY 300 on the market costs over 9k!!! That's the price for new two-stroke technology unfortunately. My 2019 TM EN300ES is not cheap and it pissed me off, but that feeling goes away real quick when you know you are the owner of something built with engineering precision, as well as beautiful craftsmanship from the racing passion of the Italian people - Beta is not an exception. They continue to drive championships around the world, have renowned reliability in chassis and engine, and have stunning aesthetics. I'm so thankful that I was lucky enough to actually get to purchase/reserve my TM Racing bike! R/D is very expensive for machines like these, additionally, they have to pay for the shipping of these bikes which with small numbers produced from the Italian offroad motorcycles, results in even less profit margins. They are growing thankfully due to people who want the 2 stroke market to grow like me...this is the price to pay...and at least I have an engine on my bike for 10k - I have friends who mountain bike here in WA state that paid that much for a darn bicycle!!?? But it brings them joy, and happiness, the same way dirt bikes do for me - esp smokers! 🤘💪 Don't get me wrong though, I love a good thumper too! I'd like that new 2021 Honda CRF450RX in my garage right now too, but I have the one I like more with me right now. Haha Have a blessed day, my brother. Wish these bikes were cheaper too so the sport could reach many others (however, an increase of machines that are between a trail and racer are coming about - look into Kawasaki KLX300R or a 2021 GPX MOTO TSE250R cause they have some wonderful tech on them for the price)...I'm not gonna lie, it took me 3 years to get my bike, but I'm so much better off mentally and physically with it. Life is an adventure if you let yourself have the right attitude, and put in hard work/effort. :) How many can say they have a bike as technologically advanced as mine that was hand built? It really is such a work of art, both running or sitting on the stand.
@LA FLAMA BLANCA I am, and I will. 🤘💪 My TM is better than my 2020 Husqvarna transfer port injection 2 stroke, so your point really holds no value...the technology that has went into these bikes the past few years far exceeds anything...my bike has ecu tuning that is specific to EACH gear, and has the best electronic power valve on the market. I'm an electrical engineer as well, and I am very happy with the craftsmanship of every part after extensively inspecting it.
Sounds like you never rode or bought a TM that is a 2019+ model, so how would you know??? Sounds like you, or one of your "friends" bought a 15 year old clapped out piece of junk...suspension was on par with my Yamaha YZ250FX as well. This is by far the best bike I've owned as far as quality of power made, agility, and even weight displacement throughout the chassis. Someone who makes negative comments online are usually jealous, poor, entitled, inauthentic pieces of crap with no talent or education, or intelligence...so they must insult someone to feel better about themselves. Bye Felicia. You can eat my roost. Haha
You obviously don't know that the 300 2t carb versions produce 52 RWHP, and injected models produce 56. Don't believe me??? VHM has a video of them increasing HP with their gold head. I already have the full pro circuit exhaust system which increased HP from the stock - and still VERY awesome - HGS Pipe. You can buy the bikes with as many options as you desire as well, like Reikon bars, Ohlins suspension, carb or fuel injection, tire choices, and way more! You make no claim on any of these...additionally they are the only bikes to come with both a potent electric start and a kick start for less than a Husky/KTM, as well as map switches and a DOT road kit...and the single most idiotic thing to say is passing judgement on ANY bikes of today! They are all absolutely astounding, and fit in to their own niche. Beta, TM, Yamaha, SWM, Kawasaki, Honda, Suzuki, KTM, Husqvarna, Gas Gas, Rieju, GPX Moto, Sherco, AJP, and even SSRs all do a great job for the market in which they serve, and each have their rightful place in the moto community. I'm pretty sure every engineer at all of these bike manufacturers are way more intelligent than you and me both. You have no right to call any machine junk cause you don't possess the talent or skill to even ride an SSR450 to it's full capacity. I'm getting real tired of people copying what the magazine's say...they always seem to bash on Suzuki, Honda, Yamaha, and TM when these are just as reliable as anything else. It's the people not taking care of their shit and avoid maintenance and paying for new parts like the plague!!!! - I'm sorry, but dirt biking is expensive just like most other sports and hobbies. Hard work is required, and that's why most people never progress as well. You should practice humiliation every once in awhile - it could do some good. You must not ride??? Cause bikes will humble you every day of the week...good night sir.
@LA FLAMA BLANCA TM's are awesome bikes.....but i wont ever have one again.Getting parts is as hard as picking up a blonde virgin in a brothel
@@jonathondavis170 If i had to take a guess a Yz 250 with its generation old chassis is going to feel and perform better on the motocross track at least if they are targeting motocross. Its not me putting the bike down, but expected as yamaha has been honing their motocross machines for generations. Granted Beta are using "japanese" designs for the most critical parts Forks, Carbs, etc. Even then they don't have the tuning down like the Japanese manafactures.
Once on the track the bikes are ridden in a precise part of the power band that the benefits of fuel injection aren't going to be game changing in terms of feel. Same with the power valve. On trails with large engine speed variance that efi is going to stop loading up and hits a perfect idle pulse that is where efi shines.
Granted you get the whole "exotic" debate of a bike that gets praise just because its not a conventional brand (i.e Ducati getting praise over a Honda). Is a yamaha yz 250 not built to "engineer precision"? I would be shocked if any modern dirt bike from the last 10-15 years not being welded and assembled using cnc and robotics in which they're all going to be "precise". Quality too has been excellent among all manafactures. Outside of ktm that i was familiar with 15 years ago appearing to "lack" quality, every manufacture now achieves enough quality in which any deficiencies are going to be attributed to design.
Granted i could do the same circle jerk of a yz 250x/250.
"The quality and engineering design of the yamaha yz 2 stroke line is so world class that generations old design is still relevant and world class today. Look at the all-star 125 2 stroke racing to see the 15 year old chassis take the top 4 places against the only other competitor ktm who have revamped the bike 5 times. The conventional design survives generations keeping things simple and parts affordable and easily available".
We can make anything sound great.
Change to the right springrate then talk settings! Next to yamaha This bike has the best stock-suspension on the market right now!
So buy a yz250? Lol
"The bigger the 2-sroke engine, the slower it revs.."
CR500: "What??"
I thought about that, then me and my CR500 laughed and laughed 😂
by slower he means less RPMs, slower rotating. CR500 makes peak power around only 6,500rpm then falls off a cliff putting out less HP than a 125 @ the 8,500rpm mark.
