2024 Beta Xtrainer 300 - demo, review, and raw thoughts

[@PotatoeJoe69]

These X trainers are pretty awesome. All 300cc strokes right now feel very tractor-like compared to the 250s, but the X trainer in particular feels identical to a 4-stroke in the way it makes power.

They’re a very unique bike that fills a hole in the market. Even though it’s not really for me, I have a blast every time I ride one!

Would you recommend this xtrainer or 200rr for beginner rider? Came back from demo day today. Rode 300rr, which I thouth I'd prefer, but felt it was too much bike and it wore me out quick. Felt xtrainer or 200rr was the sweet spot for me at this point? Nice review. Thanks for that!

In my opinion it would depend on what kind of trails you ride and how tall you are. The Xtrainer is awesome for slow gnarly stuff and shorter riders. The 200rr has better suspension, so it works well for faster trails, but is also a bit taller as a result

@@DmitriyAdv much appreciated! 👍

This is dual sport? I heard it's street legal?

[@DmitriyAdv]

It depends... some dealers/states will come with a street title, but I hear that might be changing. Best to check with the dealer in your state.

Just buy a sherco se 300 and learn to ride in the mild setting 👍🏻

Beta and Sherco have a very different feel to them in pretty much every way... not saying one is better than the other, but they are very different in my opinion.
