It’s no secret we’re BIG fans of Beta Motorcycles at Over And Out, and it all started with my own personal search for a technical woods bike with manageable height, weight and power. For four years now, Beta has sent bikes to OVER AND OUT for our ladies to ride on actual trails, under real riding conditions.

Ladies at OAO Events are frequently able to ride two of Beta’s most popular 2-stroke models: the Beta’s XTrainer 300 and 200RR Enduro!

Read on to learn more about these bikes, AND don’t forget to read our Two-Stroke Riding Tips post if you’re thinking about making the switch from a 4-stroke, or just want to be better prepared to demo one for the first time.

Beta XTrainer 300

Notable Features:

• Beta-Built single cylinder, 2-stroke, liquid cooled, with BPV power valve system and counter balancer, electric start with kick starter sold as an option

• Chassis is smaller and more slender than the RR model range. Our Demo bike will be lowered as well!

• New engine with new larger bore cylinder, new piston and power valve

• Smaller expansion chamber (see pipe shape) allows for more torque and a seamless-feeling power delivery.

• Seat Height 35.8” (not lowered)

• Dry Weight 216lbs

• Ground Clearance 12.6”

Beta 300RR

Notable Features:

• Beta-Built single cylinder, 2-stroke, liquid cooled, with BPV power valve system and counter balancer, electric start with kick starter sold as an option

• New engine with lighter flywheel, smaller diameter crankshaft. This reduces the inertia of engine internals translating to quicker throttle response and better power access.

• Unlike other models in the category, Beta RR models have a linkage system in the rear suspension for a more plush trail ride feel and ability to react to sharp square-edged hits.

• Seat Height 36.6” (not lowered)

• Dry Weight 228lbs

• Ground Clearance 12.6”
