    New MX Bikes

    Look at page 16 of the KTM, new investors thread in here. There is link to other forum with additional information... I think they will get the platform since they have been busy developing their own fuel injected 125...

    New MX Bikes

    This was expected and has nothing to do with GG. The last GG enduro bike will continue as the re-established Villa based on information on the net... Here or on thumpertalk there was a link and pictures. BTW, it took KTM decades and the purchase of GasGas to finally show a good looking bike....

    GasGas, New Investors

    I am with you regarding the current Beta. I have a 2020 250. Which is more or less great and a big improvement over the previous generation bikes. But the Jotagas seems to have everything regarding rideability, performance, etc. The main question mark is how fast the dealer network will grow...

    GasGas, New Investors

    Not worth to over-elaborate about the obvious future of the red-white KTMs... For those of (many) of us that would never buy a KTM, one very viable option is to wait for the release of the Jotagas 300 enduro bike. It is around the corner and by all means very promising in all aspects (and with...

    What about the 18 GasGas 250 against the Beta 300? Engine character wise. Regards, Leon

    Dirt Rider: GasGas vs Beta

    Hi! I have been searching for reviews on the new GasGas 250 without much luck. I had for more than a year a standard Beta 300 2016 and I have test rode a new standard 2018. Please provide some words on how the 250 GasGas engine compares. Is it an XC with the lighter flywheel or an EC? I had two...

    I'm buying a Beta 300RR

    Subframe is plastic but no issues. I had several rides in whoops and -15 C. No problem. Yesterday I took part in a tough 2 hour scramble with some jumps and whoops. 20 extra kilos of mud on the bike. Bottomed in several occasions. No problem.

    I'm buying a Beta 300RR

    Complete subframe 90 euros, oem plastic skid plate 29 euros, FMF pipe 300 plus. I think generally the prices are really ok.

    I'm buying a Beta 300RR

    Hi! I just wanted to correct the text above on the CDI switch. Do not use the free connector I mentioned about in the airbox (it is meant to be connected with the flasher module). Just connect one end of the CDI switch to the black/grey wire of this connector which is then connected to the...

    I'm buying a Beta 300RR

    Hi! I thought to write a short update after 35 hours on the RR250 2T. Bike is really good overall. Build quality is TOP, really comparable to a YZ250 2008. Stock suspension is Good, at least on the same level as stock open chamber WP, or the so-called 4 chamber WP. The Sacks fork also has got...

    I'm buying a Beta 300RR

    Hi! Thanks guys. Yesterday I had one more good training. The bike rips, definitely. Very controllable power band. It never stalls, and then builds up revs quickly without any hesitation. After the hit and until the rev limiter (I used 3rd fully several times) it is more like the YZ250 08 I had...

    I'm buying a Beta 300RR

    Just to add that the stock Sachs fork works well. I have test driven the 300RR. Also the first review from dirtrider.com was positive. Leon

    I'm buying a Beta 300RR

    Thanks guys! I have to tell that live is even more beautiful than any picture on the net. I bought the fork for cheap in April and it was just waiting in my garage to be used when I would change my EC125 '08 to a new EC250 2013. I think I wrote it here earlier that I went to the shop to order...

    I'm buying a Beta 300RR

    Hi! I received my new Beta RR250 11 days ago. Until now I managed to do a peaceful 1 hour for breaking it in and another 45 minutes (I tried a bit the midrange hit but still staying away from the rev limiter..) on a demanding 5 cm snow rut breaking continuously (temps +1 C) through trees...
