We recently met up with Beta's Factory Race
Team Manager and "media guy" Rodney Smith
(you may have heard of the 13-time AMA Off-Road
Champion and AMA Hall of Famer!) and spent a day
taking a quick spin in the hills aboard one of Beta's
newest 300cc two-stroke offerings.
WHAT IS
THE 300 RR?
Beta offers a boatload of off-road two-stroke models
to choose via four different engine platforms: 125cc,
200cc, 250cc and 300cc. Of these, you have two
variants to mull over—RR and Race Edition. The
RRs are the base (or standard) models. The Race
Editions are the same motorcycles but fitted with a
handful of race-influenced upgrades, most notably
higher-spec suspension components. The Race
Editions are, of course, more expensive.
QUICKSPIN I 2022 Beta 300 RR
P84
The Beta 300 RR in all its glory. The RR
is Beta's way of offering an "affordable" high-
performance trail bike that you can still race.
The Beta 300 RR
stashes the two-
position ignition
map switch above
the gas cap, leav-
ing more room on
the bar for acces-
sories like hand
guards... which
you'll need to bolt
on yourself.
