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.
