Beta RR125 review (and other small two strokes)︱Cross Training Enduro

www.crosstraini... IMPORTANT: there were main bearing failures on Beta two strokes for a few years in the 250 and 300 models, but the 125 appears to have avoided these completely! • Beta main bearing fail...
The Beta RR125 two stroke is ridiculously light and something tells me it won't quite have the same low down grunt. Let's take it for a ride. Below around 4000rpm the power is almost non existent on the RR125 Beta, but I'm surprised at the amount of mid range power. Once you really hit the high revs she becomes a pocket rocket. I haven't seen any dyno charts but I suspect it would be putting out around 40HP which really has the bike flying, even lugging my heavy carcass around. Shane Watts won the International Six Day Enduro riding a RR125 Beta so power is not an issue if you can keep the engine singing. And there are bigger bikes like the KTM 150XC and HusqvarnaTE150.
The big question is who would the Beta RR125 two stroke enduro dirt bike suit? Talented young riders could find this is a logical step up from the mini bikes. For adults? Unless you are a master of clutch control, it would be too easy to bog the engine in technical terrain or if you do lots of hill climbs. But it becomes a pile of fun in any terrain where you can keep it on the pipe and if you don't mind a pile of gear changes and clutch slipping out of tighter corners.
I've met a few older guys who love dirt riding 125s like the Beta because they used to race and love to ride their engine singing but don't want to kill themselves in the process. It's good to see Sherco has a 125 enduro as well and also the HusqvarnaTE150 and KTM 150XC.
The Beta RR125 two stroke enduro dirt bikes are absurdly light and easy to throw around, but what if you want some more grunt? Husky and KTM have their variants on the 150cc models which are rumoured to be around the same weight as the RR125. And of course plenty of guys have turned motocrossers into woods bikes, see our video about how to do this. Here's a little graph we whipped up to compare the benefits and drawbacks of small bore screamers like the Beta or even the HusqvarnaTE150 and KTM 150XC.
My personal thoughts on the RR125 Beta? I found it very strange jumping off a 300 two stroke and trying to adapt to this little pocket rocket. I timed my laps and although it was very easy to throw around, I thought my lap time would suck because I kept bogging the engine out of turns and rarely got into the upper revs properly to fully use the power. Well surprise surpise, my RR125 was 15 seconds quicker and no doubt I could shave more off that once I learned how to ride the little screamer properly. Would a RR125 Beta suit you? Well hopefully this vid will give you some things to think about it, but as always, the only way to be sure is plant your ass on a Beta RR125 two stroke dirt bike for a decent test ride. Or even the KTM 150XC and HusqvarnaTE150.

125's are generally a bit underpowered for tech riding unless your a flyweight or you only ride open terrain. I find my sons ktm xcw150 has alot more torque then a 125 and it can lug down well if needed where as a 125 can't do this,especially on hills. If a ktm is out of the question, then the beta 200 would be my pick. They are about 7kgs heavier then a ktm 150 though and the the ktm150 has a 10.5 ltr tank standard which gives excellent range. My sons mate has a sherco 125 which is a nice bike but my sons 150 eats it for torque.
Ktm 200 is still a quick young juniors weapon of choice so the beta should be great. Beta forks are the only ? and unknown for me. Xplor can be tuned well with a bit of work and tuners know them well. It's a real pity that beta can't put kyb on their bikes like gg. Gg will hopefully make a 200 with kyb soon as their old 200's were excellent bikes.
As you currently have one in the garage, like I did, it'll do the job. They're hard work to keep on song while threading through trees or negotiating obstacles. It's fine hustling one along on an MX track or a sprint Enduro, but when you're hammering through a three or four mile section of trees barely wider than the bike, and trying to pass people, it's hard work. Power wise they'll climb anything a 300 two stroke or 650 four stroke can, it's all down to technique. The only plus point is they're easy to physically drag out of a ditch, although you shouldn't need to if you're a having a good day.

[@crosstrainingenduro]

UPDATE: MAIN BEARING FAILURES 2018, 2019 & 2020 BETA TWO STROKES Unfortunately there been main bearing failures in late model Beta 250 and 300 two strokes... Beta USA estimates about a 5% failure rate. But this has NOT affected the 125 and 200 Beta two strokes thankfully...... But nnfortunately there have been cases of multiple failures on the bigger two strokes - up to three in a row even when 'fixed' by Beta mechanics. Beta head office have never been clear about the exact cause. After being pressured, they said it was an 'assembly problem'. Months later they changed their story to it being a 'supplier problem' and they were given incorrect bearings. I've checked again and according to a distributor it's back to being 'an assembly problem' as they were heating the engine cases incorrectly, causing them to warp. This would explain why some riders are having two or even three bearings fail in a row. Get your engine case checked and replaced if needed!

[@sambananas4513]

That 125 geared down for that trail would be thrilling, slipping the clutch, managing the throttle to keep it on the pipe are a challenge on top of braking and shifting and reading terrain, at 58 years old, that is the only way to ride if possible. That is one way to keep the mind sharp and reflexes in top shape. Just do it!

[@ericwarren7719]

It's good to see more of the 125s. I think alot of folks underestimate these machines becouse of the small displacement. I've been on a 2015 TE 125 for about 2 two seasons. It is a completely different riding style from a big bike. It will do just about anything I've asked of it and do it very well. But you've got to be on ponit 110% of the time. Which might be the turn off for some people. Clutch and gearing is a must. Picking the right line is also very important. However knowing how to keep your momentum going is by far most the critical part of it. There is alot of the more "motocross" skills that come into play riding these small bikes that alot of time gets lost riding the big bore bikes on trail. These things make power you just have to know how to tap it. But man, when you and the bike get firing on all cylinders... It's magic. And until you to experience it, it's hard to explain. Pros like Jarvis, Webb and Bolt must feel like that all the time, And on 300s. Wow...

[@crosstrainingenduro]

great summary eric, while i'll always opt for 300 two strokes i did sense that after a few decent rides i could start to really exploit the benefits of the 125 properly...

[@jcknepp]

@@crosstrainingenduro 200rr review? I've been doing lots of research, and it seems like the perfect bike!

[@lostinpa-dadenduro7555]

I’m very interested in the Beta and Gas Gas 200s. Can’t wait.

[@dirtyunicorn570]

LostInPA Yaaa. I‘ll test the EC Ranger 200😍

[@ass3atingmachine552]

Im interested to but im a begginer with no gear changing dirt bike experience

[@patw9175]

Its like you people didn't watch the whole video. This bike was a full 15 seconds faster than bikes more than twice it's size. That's huge.

[@RacerRed]

So awesome. I would love a 125 or 150 enduro. I am happy with my TE250 but nothing compares to the riding experience of a light weight small bore bike.

[@T1M083]

Another great gumby review. Enjoy seeing these pop up. Giving me some ideas and pointers for hopefully mid to late 2019s purchase.

[@arnoholopainen]

Great thing you timed them 😜 The 125 is a true training bike. Take to the technical terrain it can do wonders, you will be truely surpriced.

[@dylanleve8777]

I’m a pretty much brand new rider, would this 125 be good for me? I ride a crf230 right now, and I hate how heavy it is.

[@Danger_mouse]

The 125s are an awesome day out in the bush. It's a great challenge working the engine and clutch to the full and doing all the same things as the big bikes, at the same pace. You mentioned the Sherco 125 SER, I recently got to test ride these bikes and can report that the engine offers surprising low end power by way of the electronic power valve. Definitely worth a test. Sherco are also in development of a 150cc version, expect that to be available for the 2020 model year. 😊

[@mountaindirtbikingwithjere3370]

Great bike to learn how to ride on! The difficulty makes you great on clutch control and gear changes.

[@mountainconstructions]

Great Video, everyone would benefit from riding a 125 again! They MAKE you ride and MAKE you be on the ball and aggressive, i love them. Lets not forget, there was also a 80cc Enduro Class in the ISDE

[@SANDS78]

I wish I had the 150xcw instead of my 300. One of the best bikes out there.

[@backyardboosters9128]

They are a blast I love my yz125 converted for woods I’ve used for 3 years. If someone wants to be a little aggressive I think they’re a good starter bike light and cheap. The big negatives are 1. Top end rebuilds come up fast I do mine every 25 to 30 hours. 2. On the old 98 yz125 the seat height is actually crazy it’s 39in..... that’s an inch higher than the yz250. 3. The bottom end, not too much of an issue on level ground out side of exit acceleration, but it will teach you to pound the clutch. Also because the work input on the 125 it makes a great workout tool I’m not even kidding.

[@flaccidenduro6888]

I'm really interested in seeing what the new 200RR is going to be like, as well as the new gas gas ranger models. You should also take a look at the GPX TSE250R models that just came out if you get the chance. So far I'm hearing good things by the few people that own them.

[@brucek.345]

"It's not for the lazy rider". Right, too many guys just stay in one gear or use auto clutch. I have a 125RRS and shift early/shift often is my mantra. I have to work the bike like when I was younger.

[@danielh5127]

I have the same bike but i almost never shift because it doesnt have enough Power in 3rd to accelerate at least here where we have a lot of sand

[@carlhansen9512]

Love my 125RRS. Check out my vids!

[@DmitriyAdv]

That was the funnest bike on the Beta demo day short of the trials bikes. The lightness makes it handle simply amazing. I imagine it would be a blast on a track that's a little bit more open.

[@crosstrainingenduro]

agreed dimitriy but i'd be less keen doing some technical stuff on it... at least with my poor clutch skills lol

[@TheLoydal]

I ride a 2006 yz125 in the woods of North Alabama and I love it. I bought this particular model and year on purpose, because of its light weight, cheap price, good availability where I live, decent power for a 125 and the suspension quality. I had the suspension setup for woods riding, and installed: skid plate, hand guards, large radiators with guards, Tubliss in the rear, kickstand, lower gearing, exhaust system, and I had my engine blueprinted/polished/rebuilt. I have yet to try the flywheel weight on this bike, but have had good results from it on other bikes in the past. My only complaint if I had one would be the tight ratio of the gearbox. I would like to ride a bike like this, that is setup for this by the manufacturer.

[@chile2be991]

Loydal I'm also in Alabama (Birmingham). Where do you ride? I've been riding powerlines at the end of Lakeshore drive and at minooka ohv park en Calera? Looking for new areas/spots to ride. I also ride a small bore (ktm150) love it!

[@hammer49946]

Appreciate the honest reviews.

[@avidorger]

When Fabio Fasola arrived in Israel about 20 years ago he saw everyone riding big bikes. Told them that they should all be riding 125s. Since then, 125 2 stroke was the most popular bike for the past 18 years or so. It was overtaken by the 250 2 stroke about a year ago.

[@Lifeisawheelie]

I currently enjoy a motard version of a 50cc.... Yes 50cc 2 stroke. Hm-moto italian princess cre baja. The engine characteristics you describe are basically an understatement of what i experience. Apart from the surprising midrange power. My bikes midrange power is meh... I have recent video with it where you can hear the power curve. It's ridiculous. Recently had it dynoed though and it did 6.75 hp on the rear wheel. Not as spiky a power curve as expected, but still not enough mid range. I'm swapping for a bigger bore cylinder kit with more mid range. And throwing on some nice knubby rubbers :) should make for a very entertaining allaround funbike.

[@whyzed250]

Worth noting Barry that the 150s dont have ADR in Aus, so if you want small bore + rego the Beta is the go. Also worth noting that for newcomers to the sport 125s make fantastic learning platforms because of the lack of low end. You are forced to learn how to slip the clutch and proper gear selection. My wife rides a cr125 and her technique now is better than the average because she had no choice - learn or push the bike up the hill. Im really keen to see the 200rr - hoping its going to be the best of both worlds - a 125 top end with some grunt.

[@MR0birdman]

Are you back in Canada??? I swear that I watched a video on Megs' channel a few weeks ago in that same track --- yep, actually I found it, she was riding with Gabe Elmore... I loved the previous season of Canada's videos, I hope to see more this new season :)

[@Jimmy_Watt]

Thank you very much for the humorous and unbiased educational review. I love your channel.

[@crosstrainingenduro]

[@SWFlowseeker]

Nice! I traded my 300rr in for the new 200rr. Couldn’t be happier. But I’m a lighter rider 150lbs. So damn fun!!

[@adriancurley2598]

Cool to see u so on the buzz box thay are always fun to ride, and a side note watsy also had the fastest final moto lap and time even over the current worl 500 mx champ smets.

[@jw8556]

Yeah l got a 2019 sherco 125 and had to learn how to ride a 125 all over again but now lm in the process of fine tuning it as a stock bike it had to be ridden like you stole it but after considerable gearing and jetting changers it's getting there and have also made a few ergo changes as well ie 12/51 gearing 40pilot/168main clip on 2nd position (n1eg needle) trimmed bars (800mm) factory low seat (less 20mm) and S3 punk pegs down 5mm and back 8mm gummy rear tyre at 3psi Bridgestone ultra tube with two or three rim locks keep in mind you must get the axel as far back in the swing arm as possible for the hills

[@Peccavi75]

Beta 200RR review coming soon?

[@NotStellarNoja]

I hope someone gets a new 200 enduro bike out on the market. I have an 09 200 xcw and really like the thing a lot. The KTM 200s don't have the rip you off the bike power of the 250s and 300s but lug great down low and if (when) you accidentally twist the throttle a little too hard, you don't end up on your ass while you watch your bike disappear off a cliff.

[@carlhansen9512]

I rode the 200RR at Beta's demo day. It's pure magic.

[@markoIam1]

noja83 beta 200rr! Picking one up soon

[@user-en1wr1dp1u]

125cc King of the bush 🎉

[@dailybraapz7584]

I ride a 2015 GasGas EC125R and i find the power in the low revs is actually quite good! Saying that, i do agree you do need it singing in the high rpm to get the most out of it but overall i find it really nice on all terrain.

[@crosstrainingenduro]

a few of the dealers here have been puzzling over the lack of power at low revs and finally found out the carby changes needed to improve it. pity they discovered this after i'd done the vid. :(

[@dailybraapz7584]

Guess GasGas have it spot on with jetting then :) do another review some time but on an upto date 125.. :) love the videos by the way, has really helped me become a better rider!

[@JoeJoeMoto]

With the 125s you have to ride them like an animal! I feel like I'm far too fat and old for that LOL Good fun to ride though hey! Such a grin factor.

[@bobthebuilder2922]

JoeJoe Moto that's 100% true

[@bramnuttynck4013]

You are never to fat and to old.

[@bobthebuilder2922]

Bram Nuttynck well kinda true

[@markmtbrider]

I hope the 200 doesn't gain weight, just some torque. Could be a place for one next to the kdx220.

[@the2strokepotato17]

I have a 03 cr125 and its just so pissed off lol not sure if it had previous work done to it but its power kicks in almost instantly. I done an enduro on it and fried the clutch as it just wanted to spin up all the time. Now having better clutch control and technique that bike would be great with its bottom end.

[@bobthebuilder2922]

I think 125s are good for tight turns and and small 5-20 min laps but when you have to ride 1-2 hours in rocky terrain i personally would pick 250 2 stroke

[@H19Enduro]

Klaani K I recently did 2 days riding 12 hours a day trip in my old xlr 125 on rocky uk trails and it was suprisingly completely fine

[@bobthebuilder2922]

nayr h19 yeah i mean 1-2 hour "going as fast as you can" in gnarly terrain. I myself would want a bigger bike

[@NotStellarNoja]

Looks really fun but I doubt it would fair well up here in the Rocky Mountains with endless climbs and mainly loose rocky surfaces.

[@squirtsomedirt3161]

noja83 iv got a yz250x and a 150xcw. Im 175 pounds and the 150xcw hauls my ass up all the hills i have pointed it at out west i. BC. its a great bike of you are light. If you are over 200lbs the. It wont move you well.

[@bobthebuilder2922]

noja83 true. You can ride 125s in rocky terrain but it is very exhausting compared to bigger bikes.

[@andrewdumont9817]

I just tried my sons new tc 125 and because i was on a 125 for years so I really enjoyed being back on one but definitely going with a 300 for me lol need to keep them screaming:)

[@dznnf7]

It'll be interesting to see if the new 200 retains the low weight of the 125 and adds enough grunt to have the best of both worlds. At just 10 lbs under a X-Trainer, these don't seem THAT light to me. I'm not sure anyone would buy it, but I'd love to see Beta try to go all-out for light weight and see where it'd land. Especially as I get older!

[@gilesgreenaway5655]

10kg lighter than an xt not10lb

[@squirtsomedirt3161]

I have a yz250x, and picked up a '17 150xcw this spring. I love the little ripper. Im not quite as fast on it but its more fun, and doenst beat me up as much so i can ride it for alot longer with good technique.

[@mattfdepp1]

[@danielclark6095]

Would changing the size of the rear sprocket not alter the bottom end power problem? Did notice the standard rear sprocket looked on the large size.

[@masterbeta343]

If it were at all possible i would only want the 125rr as a secondary bike because that compared to my 250 both serve different purposes if i am planning on going on a reall ride and do some technical things ill definitely want my 250 but if im planning on doing more open stuff at faster paces then a 125 would be more useful I think

[@Toobluejzs147]

Any 125 is gonna make you a better rider because u gotta feather the clutch and get the rpms up to have a good time, im big and i have a 125sx but i just keep her pinned and if im bogging out on i hill i just pull the clutch in a-few times and i get up but definitely a fun bike

[@funmakerpictures]

I got to ride one a little while ago.. been a 2 stroke guy my whole life and i love betas but i honestly didnt like this bike.. i found it so weak on the bottom end it was a rediculous.. in my opinion a good, fresh YZ 125 would destroy this thing.

[@bryceb3796]

Eh, I mean I agree. The bottom end sucks. I have the actual bike, but trust me. If you tame this thing and ride it ALOT. It will beat a yz125. You have to let it scream though. This one has more horsepower than a yz125 anyways.

Talked with Motorcycle Studio, in Perth a couple weeks back, for tight/technical stuff 125 or 200 is fine, but more open stuff (like I ride in) you'll be wanting a 250-300. The 125 and 200's sign off a bit early.

n0pr0 HD not to be mean but the 4 stroke 125s are worthless for almost everything, it doesnt have 15 on the wheel either

[@n0pr0hd81]

klasmvm im not to sure about that I honestly never had it on the dyno but it's not a shity chines 125engine and the bike isn't that heavy A stat I can give u it does 0-100kmh in something about 10 seconds

n0pr0 HD yeah ive ridden one, try a 2 stroke

[@n0pr0hd81]

klasmvm I already have ridden a view and no doubt they just fly away in high revs And maybe it's just me but in offroading that no low end and shitload of power in top end aren't that great for me The not to much 4 stroke power there is great for me

[@klasmvm4966]

n0pr0 HD theres just a bit more wear on the engine, 125s are usually at max rpms all the tome

[@thefalkor7731]

Beta 200rr for next review or nothing....

[@xterrential]

Lots of top end power, rev's to the moon. Nothing at the bottom, literally. Was nice and light but you have to really be concious of staying on the pipe otherwise the bike feels like an under powered boggy 2T. I prefered the 250 xtrainer. A little heavier but the power band was way more user friendly and fun. Edit: I rode this bike at the demo day. It was my fifth bike of the day and I was running on about 4 hours of sleep. At that point I was running out of steam so I may have had a different opinion of it if I got to ride it when I wasn't dead tired.

Better times...Because it's the rider not the bike.

40 hp? I'd say that's unpossible for a 125 single. A rideable one at least.

[@crosstrainingenduro]

125 motocross bikes were putting out 35 to 37hp back in the 1980s and there have been major improvements since then.

Nah I just checked on the Internet and someone's mate said more like 27

[@patrickgaudreau1615]

125’s make power like a light switch. It’s either everything or nothing

[@szymekdymek3296]

No hej

[@basmanders473]

could you do a beta rr 50 review?

[@jakc7519]

"I suspect it has about 40 horsepower" I ride a Kawasaki kx125 and it has 29.1 horsepower at 11k rpm

[@crosstrainingenduro]

motocross 125s were putting out around 36hp at the crank back in the 80s and there have been improvements since then so it's just a guesstimate. you'll probably lose 15 to 20% measuring at the rear wheel on a dyno.

How about a older man like me...

[@heartstarTV]

i use honda cr125r in enduro and trails, i like its lightweight, check my vids ))))

[@xGxPhantomZzz]

Around 40hp excuse me what, EXCs only get 34hp from the old days and today's bikes mostly do 30hp

Yea I know, old Suzuki RMs and Honda CRs all had around 40hp and some RMs even over 50, but KTM weirdly enough only manages 34hp on their EXC125
