RIDE REVIEW I 2024 BETA 250 RR
P84
which is within a few pounds of
other headlight-equipped off-
road two-strokes on the market.
The seat height is 36.6 inches,
with 12.6 inches of ground clear-
ance, similar to most other high-
performance off-road bikes.
Beta used Michelin Enduro
tires for several years and Met
-
zeler tires in 2023, but our bike
came with Maxxis MaxxEnduro
tires, which worked well in the
diverse terrain we rode the bike.
TRAIL TIME
We have noted before that—even
though the Beta two-strokes
have counterbalancers—you feel
more vibration than on the KTM,
Husqvarna and GasGas models.
So, one of the benefits of the
250 versus 300 is the smaller
piston translates to less vibra
-
tion. Most people will gladly
trade the vibration for more
power, but that vibration adds
to rider fatigue, and many
riders are not using that
extra power. And if you like
to rev your bike, the 250 will keep
pulling longer than a 300 be
-
tween gears. We found this most
noticeable on a fun turn track
we found in the desert. You
will certainly give up a little
power for hill climbs, but it
may be worth considering
how much of that you do
in your normal riding.
The Beta RR line
comes standard
with most of the
parts you will want
for trail riding. A
headlight, skid
plate, 18-inch rear
wheel, and enduro
computer are
standard.
