RIDE REVIEW I 2024 BETA 250 RR
P82
2024 BETA
250 RR
We rode the 2024 Beta 250 RR
in a wide range of terrain, includ-
ing single-track trails in the
woods
and open deserts, and
found it incredibly capable and
fun. And dare we say, it could
be even better than its 300cc
sibling for many riders.
The 250 RR has a sug-
gested retail price of $9899. It
features an
electric start (op-
tional kickstarter back up), a
six-speed
transmission, 36mm
Keihin carburetor, oil injection, a
2.5-gallon translucent fuel tank,
a headlight, a plastic skid plate,
an 18-inch rear wheel, a two-
position map switch, an enduro
computer and Sachs suspen-
sion. You will likely want to add
some
handguards and possibly
a radiator fan and some more
guards if you plan to get rowdy,
but otherwise, the Beta RR mod-
els come with all the essential
parts
needed for off-road riding.
Beta offers the pricier $10,199
250 RR Race Edition that fea-
tures upgraded KYB suspension,
different engine
settings, and
some other cool enhancements,
and that may be your best
choice if you are into racing or
pushing the pace a little more.
We have noted in past tests
that the Beta RR models' stan-
dard Sachs suspension has held
back the bike's
performance on
the trail, but Sachs continues to
improve the settings and overall
fork/rear shock action, and
most recreational trail riders
will be perfectly happy with the
latest-generation RR suspen-
sion. Like most bikes, the Beta's
suspension
needs to break in
and will get better with time.
Our Beta 250 RR weighed in at
245 pounds with a full fuel tank,
The standard Sachs suspension on the Beta RR line has steadily improved over the years.
