2018 BETA 300 RR
FULL TEST
P74
To wrap it up, you will likely not
be disappointed if you choose
this Italian beauty as your dance
partner for the trails. It will deliver
a little more vibration and per-
haps some instability on high-
speed terrain than the Austrian
options but will likely reward you
with great corning, strong perfor-
mance and a fresh look.
And don't forget about Beta's
Build Your Own Beta program,
where you can customize your
bike before you even get it. You
just visit Beta's website and they
will walk you through the whole
process as you pick your parts.
You just order what you want
and they'll install them for you,
then your new Beta arrives. It's a
pretty cool program; we've tried
it in the past ourselves and were,
to say the least, very impressed.
It's worth checking out. CN
