My first Beta was a TR 34 loved it!

[@tecnoworld5324]

I thank you so much that you show and focus more the motorcycle than your faces like presenters and hosts of this beautiful program. That's be objective and honest too

[@michaelmiskell]

I made the same comment a couple weeks ago that I believe Stu said now that beta is in supercross/motorcross and enduro it’s like they have forgotten about trials because it doesn’t bring in the same amount of money, and it’s sad because trials made them

[@TrialTube]

Correct!!!

[@stan9636]

Its about time someone called Beta out Well done Trial tube

[@TrialTube]

Can’t help it….its what we do!

[@stan9636]

@@TrialTube Is the any talk behind the scenes that there maybe a major update coming ? have you heared anything ?

[@shortylux]

Who else would have the balls to paint their swing arm red? The 2024 TRS RR. But the TRS actually looks good.

[@TrialTube]

Oh yeah, and Fantic.

[@studay1501]

Good point 👍🏻👍🏻

[@markjarman7819]

Beta fan here totally. I ride a 300 4T but had 5 betas but do agree they need to remember what bike made there new roads. It does need a bit more than different colour scheme. But like you said people are still buying them because for most of us there more than capable of giving what we need. But time is time.

[@TrialTube]

Indeed, Even a Beta fan can get bored…?

[@studay1501]

Thank you 🙏🙏

[@markpaulo269]

beautiful and colourful work of art, beta has certainly gone a long way since my beta zero days.

[@TrialTube]

Still the same colours as the original

[@CarlssonLukas]

I once had a Beta Evo factory 2014. At the time it was great the only thing I wish beta could do is to make a more flexible mudguard, they always snapped off in the cold

[@TrialTube]

Nothing has changed on that front

[@sethadams4464]

Great episode and good to see more on the kids bikes. My lad (5) now rides a trs on-e 20 and they are awesome!! He’s not big enough for the oset 20r so was riding a 20 lite but although a great bike they feel very underpowered. I was actually just about to start putting the 20r power system into his 20 lite when we tried a friends on-e 20 and were sold!! The weight is similar to the 20lite (with lithium power) but the suspension is much better they just seem to find more grip everywhere. He loves it and his riding is coming on in leaps and bounds (and crashes😂)

[@TrialTube]

Amazing and glad we could highlight this fantastic machine!!!

[@a226sig]

Beta is still pretty new to the US market. They had to invest in Supercross for the brand recognition. Seriously, I'd say half of the Supercross fanbase never heard of Beta until this year. IMHO Beta is in the same position KTM was in the mid-90s...about to explode in popularity. That will bring so many new riders to the trials side of the sport.

[@jamessparrow6549]

Totaly agree on what’s you have sed. Indoor trials looks awesome at trials day defo need to book in and come down . Keep up all good work Danny and stu 👍

[@TrialTube]

Thanks! Will do!

[@studay1501]

Thank you 🙏

[@tecnoworld5324]

It's an all a masterpiece of the design. Amazing🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹👏👏👏

[@TrialTube]

For atleast ten years

[@mikeyCjones1]

Such a great watch!

[@TrialTube]

Thanks man!!

[@studay1501]

Cheers 👍🏻

[@badlarry172]

great upload as usual ta

[@TrialTube]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@studay1501]

Thank you

[@stephenfracy4258]

Questions for you. Do Beta still add extra flywheel weight for UK bikes? I have ridden all the same bikes that you have. I am back on a Factory Beta now after Vertigo and GG. In the past both my son and I had 250s and 300s. I think the 250 Beta is the best 250 money CAN buy. I have been truly impressed with the suspension on my Factory, the brakes, and sorry there is NOT a bike made that grips better

[@TrialTube]

I was told that all the Betas that enter the UK are “super soft” by John Lampkin a few years ago. The 250 is lovely but in the 300 the Vertigo wins on the grip side of things hands down. It’s preference of course though! Thanks again for the support !

[@gottheflick]

Great show as always. I'm told that in 2020(?) Beta redesigned the rear mud guard (fender here in the states) reshaping the end of it and making it out of much "bendier" plastic that "hopefully" isn't as brittle as the old plastic. Have you been able to tell if there's a difference between the flexibility of the old and new fenders?

[@TrialTube]

Both are rubbish lol

[@zenjamin6262]

My Oset is my greatest asset

[@TrialTube]

Fair doos lol

[@jasonh1485]

Hard to see for sure but the weld on the rad hanger at 26:28 looks suspect? Undercut?

[@TrialTube]

Just Italian

[@RalphAyres]

Great video have you seen the trs 80cc yet ?😀😂👍

[@TrialTube]

Yeah really cool

[@studay1501]

Great to see epic bikes for the little ones are now coming back 😊

[@mkgroupuk]

I have a TRS 80 on the way so that could be the next new bike I take on a little road trip with me!

[@Proc-oh8ie]

Trs is a mega kids bike, far superior to the Oset in every way, just need them to make a 24 version 👌 Love my Beta but they need to get with the times and offer something on the factory bikes to make them special, different paint doesn’t cut it

[@TrialTube]

👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@studay1501]

Glad you agree 👍🏻

[@marc63sabine72]

Use zip ties for the mudguard, let the zipt ties break, not the mudguard

[@TrialTube]

We know, see my very first video for the same tip but they don’t always work

[@glenquinn7561]

I dont ride Betas, good bikes but they dont suit me. As much as agree that the bike has changed little in recent years you have to look at the results too. Grattarola has been a revelation on the Beta and then look how good the Hemingway lads are doing. Its certainly still competitive

[@TrialTube]

The bikes that both of those riders are in our factory, built and Carry none of the characteristics of the standard bike. I have had the privilege to ride at a factory. Beta and I can tell you now the suspension, the power delivery and the overall b build quality is far from the consumer Bike

[@TrialTube]

Sorry about the wording there was dictating into the phone. Useless…

[@rochellestanley9532]

Beautiful bike but, overdue for a new design..

[@TrialTube]

Indeed

[@stevesims8232]

So if this engine is so smooth and manageable, is there any point of the 200. Think about buying a new bike but more in the old age (me) white line rider category. And as a light weight (56kg) should I get the lightest bike I can.

[@davidevorider2002]

It just feels lighter the 200 for some reason

[@studay1501]

The 200 is a great choice for older lads , super forgiving

[@squatlord1915]

Stabil junge

[@TrialTube]

Indeed, stable machine.

[@1spongeygit]

love beta hate the red... too much, love the grey, I was dumbstruck when I saw the factory in red. I want the factory in grey....

[@TrialTube]

I think a fair few people think the same!

[@PNW_Trials_Adventures]

Not a big red fan at all. GasGas used to offer a few colors, now all red. Beta has always been heavy on the red but when combined with blue looks decent. And now TRS the last couple years has really leaned into the red as well.

[@tomsmith4611]

Can’t see why anyone looking to buy a brand new bike would buy one of these. Same bike for 10+ years. And not even Reiger or tech on the full factory models

[@TrialTube]

It’s beyond me too (if I am honest) but people don’t like change obviously 😂

[@studay1501]

Time to change 👍🏻

[@dsandusky123]

There are huge flaws in the evo coming from an evo owner..1 the plastic front fender is garbage and is a major weak point. One light down of the bike can take you out of a trials comp..your front end is done .and second is the flywheel side too fat ! One crash focused on the flywheel corner and you WILL crack/damage your engine case. Mine was magnesium too (brittle metal!) the engine is too fat compared to the gasgas

[@TrialTube]

All true!!

[@studay1501]

And that’s why we are on GasGas

[@Ale_4316]

Trial isn't popular anymore, of course beta has to invest on somethimg else also because hard enduro is getting popular and beta engines are perfect for it

[@TrialTube]

Trials is getting more popular again but the mindset of “it isn’t popular” doesn’t help! Most riders need some trials skills trust me. As a trials person watching amateur hard enduro is hard to watch. Basic trials ability would transform these riders abilities…
