RIDE REVIEW I 2026 BETA 200 RR X-PRO
engine lubrication: the X-Pro is
fitted with a more convenient oil-
injection system, while the Race
uses a more reliable, lighter pre-
mix system. You also get a few
upgrades with the Race that you
don't with the X-Pro, like a front-
axle grab handle, handguards,
aluminum footpegs and a bi-met-
al rear sprocket. The Race also
has more pretty-looking anodized
parts and snazzier graphics. The
Race is a little lighter than the
X-Pro, 207 pounds compared
to 214 pounds (dry, claimed).
However, the X-Pro is fitted with
a front rescue strap that the Race
does not have. Beta expects
Race is tuned with, you guessed
it, racing in mind; the X-Pro is
tuned more for the serious trail
rider who races occasionally. The
main difference between the two
is their suspensions. The X-Pro
is fitted with the latest Sachs
suspension, while the Race is
fitted with KYB suspension. Both
are fully adjustable, though the
KYB units offer slightly more
wheel travel and are considered
better performers for higher-
speed, more aggressive riding.
The X-Pro also yields a one-inch
lower seat height at 36.4 inches.
Another big difference between
the X-Pro and Race models is
When KTM exited the 200
class, Beta saw an opportunity
and quickly stepped in to fill
the void, introducing a 200cc
off-road bike in 2019 that was a
direct derivative of Beta's at-the-
time all-new 125RR. Since 2019,
the Beta 200 has received sever-
al updates, the latest to its chas-
sis last year. This year, the 200
features further enhancements,
including a larger-diameter rear
axle and an updated front-brake
caliper taken straight from Beta's
450 RX motocross bike.
Beta offers the 200 in two va-
rieties, the RR X-Pro, which we're
reviewing here, and RR Race. The
Among the two 200cc two-stroke off-road models offered by Beta,
the RR X-Pro is better suited for hard enduro riding.
