Transmoto Tested: 4-Way Beta 300CC 2T Comparo

If you’re in the market for a 300cc two-stroke dirt bike - and let’s face it, a lot of people are because a 300cc two-stroke is now several brands’ biggest-selling model - Beta has got to be on your radar because, with four 300cc two-strokes to choose from, they offer more options than any other manufacturer.
Beta gives you the choice of:
• RR300: The ‘standard’ enduro model, which uses the new, short-stroke engine;
• RR300 Racing: The up-specced, race-ready enduro model with a KYB fork;
• RX300: Beta’s only production MXer, which is based on the RR Racing model, but uses the older, longer-stroke engine configuration and longer-travel KYB suspension;
• Xtrainer 300: The lightweight, rider-friendly, detuned version of its hardnosed enduro-model cousins, which uses a very different, perimeter-style chromoly frame.
But how do these four models compare when it comes to component spec and, more importantly, performance? How versatile is each machine to ride? Where does each model shine or show shortfalls? And which bike best suits what sort of rider?
With the help of the guys from Coffs Harbour-based Beta dealership, MidCoast Moto, we assembled a bunch of test pilots from differing riding backgrounds to answer those questions...

Just got a XT300 4 months ago, my first time owning a dirtbike, and first time riding a motorcycle overall and bamm!! I have been able to follow my friends pace, they have Huskys, KTMs, Gasgas, Shercos, and they go hard and through really gnarly trails. The XT is amazing!!!!

[@mixalis6168]

NA, your mates are not going hard if youre keeping up with an XT300

[@angellmarrero8326]

@@mixalis6168 yep, we are not racing, but everything they do, Im able to follow. The XT is a great machine, and well, I have also done some mods, susp is stiffer, fatty pipe, air box mod and more, so is not slow

@@mixalis6168 how would you know? Have you ridden where he has?

[@racerunnermx]

@@angellmarrero8326 I got your back on this one just ditched the 2021 300 Race edition raced it in the US Hard enduro series last it kicked ass! But I now RIDE the 2022 Xtrainer and can ride harder and faster and longer on these 300 by far. Racing it in 5 US Hard Enduro races in 2023 starting at King of The Motos

Quality content. Nice bikes, too.

[@johndepperschmidt8984]

Great test concept mixing all the models. Good job having an RX too. My 22 RX is a bit too hot for my tastes, not enough flywheel with the lighter crank, geared it up to cool it down, and forks are too stiff even for my 220 lbs.

[@captainamerica9353]

Would be nice to see a 350RR, or a more affordable 4 stroke.

[@AlbertKlanort]

hello, Beta RR 300 or Sherco se factory 300, which is more powerful, more aggressive, more brutal, more reliable, faster in the forest on difficult trails and difficult climbs thanks to the people who will answer me!🤝🏻

I literally can’t understand half of what he’s saying, he’s speaking fast as an auctioneer. Slow down bro. What’s the big rush with your words?

[@TheKitchenTechnician]

You must be from Texas. Try earbuds.

[@rickayres9049]

Its the Aussie language. Its normal for us when he’s speaking that quickly. But I totally understand what you mean 👌If you had lots of Aussie friends you would be on to it in no time 😊
