shock, which is fully adjustable, also
feels just right. The rear end does a
great job absorbing smaller bumps,
rocks, and holes, while maintaining
control over high-speed whoops. The
200 isn't a couch, though; you feel
almost every bump at slow speeds.
But probably the best part of the
200 RR X-Pro is how it feels between
your legs. Even though it weighs only
14 pounds less than its 250 and 300
RR X-Pro two-stroke siblings, it feels
like 30 pounds. It feels so light and
maneuverable that it makes you think
you're invincible. "Yeah, I can climb
that." "Yeah, I can go down that."
"Yeah, I can ride over those rocks."
And nine times out of 10, you can.
Excellent ergonomics, a slim layout,
and a firm, narrow seat also con-
tribute to this feeling. And so do the
Maxxis Enduro knobbies that per-
form well on a variety of terrain.
(Above) The X-Pro is equipped with the
latest 48mm open-cartridge Sachs SHC
forks featuring a single spring.
The Beta 200 RR
X-Pro stands out
with its torquey
engine, light weight
and excellent
suspension.
