So how do all those specs
translate to real-world perfor-
mance on the trails? In short,
very well. One of our test riders
said that the Beta 300 RR Race
Edition is the closest thing to an
MX bike with a headlight due to
the amazing bark of the motor,
especially compared to the TPI
fuel-injected Austrian bikes that
deliver an almost electric pow

Not everybody will appreciate
that bark, but if you like a bike
that is really snappy and playful,
you will probably love this motor.
And unlike an MX bike converted
for off-road use, the 300 RR Race
Edition has amazing tractability
off the bottom, making it equally
good for technical trails.
Fuel injection is arguably bet

ter for changes in altitude, but
the stock carburetor jetting was
just about perfect on our test
