TESTING 1…2...3…
Testing consisted primarily of
off-road riding because these
machines are really just off-road
enduro bikes. We did put some
time in on the road but without
balanced wheels and with plenty
of trails, the road isn't very pleas-
ant. Our main testing was done
over three days at the Nevada
200 Trail Ride ***(CLICK HERE)
on a variety of terrain at a range
of altitudes. Ultimately altitude
doesn't really matter with fuel in-
jection. Those with a death grip
on the carb might want to relax
the hold, the future is here now
when it comes to performance
and it's injected. Both bikes
received small gearing changes
from stock to boost rideability
at the event. In stock form, the
Beta was closer to useable on
tight single track and all we did
was go down to a 13-tooth front
sprocket from a 14, leaving the
48 rear and utilizing the stock
chain. On the Husqvarna FE
