2013 Beta 300RR 2-Stroke Review (2023)

FAQs

Are Beta 300rr any good? ›

In short, very well. One of our test riders said that the Beta 300 RR Race Edition is the closest thing to an MX bike with a headlight due to the amazing bark of the motor, especially compared to the TPI fuel-injected Austrian bikes that deliver an almost electric powerband without the thrill factor.

The 2023 Beta 300 RR is a great trail bike, buoyed by a superb motor and wonderful handling. Although more demanding riders will have to do some suspension work, everyone can appreciate the basic 300 RR package.

One of the things that sets Beta's 300 two-strokes apart from some of its competitors (namely KTM, Husqvarna and GasGas) is its fueling system—the Beta is carbureted, the others fuel injected.

They are definitely good bikes or i wouldn't have bought two! Fwiw I also own a gasgas enduro and have had several Japanese bikes over the years. Beta is a top tier brand. They are also a good company.

This led to pretty good mileage at approximately 35 mpg with the 2.55-gallon tank providing 90 miles or so of range.

We ran the 300 RR on our rear-wheel dyno to determine peak output from Beta's standard model 300 two-stroke off-road bike. We documented 39.3 hp at 8,300 rpm and 28.4 pound-feet of torque at 6,600 rpm.

While their first models utilized KTM motors, their more recent models, like the Beta 300 RR, is made of 100 percent Beta parts which include the precision of Italian engineering. The 300 RR made by Beta is similar in appearance and performance to both the KTM 300 XC and Husqvarna TE300.

Beta helped develop and assemble over 6,000 engines for 85cc and 105cc for KTM and Husqvarna. At the Betamotor factory, an assembly line was dedicated to the Austrian's. The agreement with KTM gave Beta great training for the future.

So, which is better? Fuel injection has an upper hand when it comes to performance, fuel efficiency, and better throttle response. While the FI system may cost you more, the long-term aspects of the FI system are better than a carburetor.

Do fuel injected bikes have idle screws? ›

If the motorcycle has a carburettor, the idle speed can be adjusted using the idle screw. If the motorcycle comes with fuel-injection technology, the rider can adjust the idle speed with the small knob that sticks out of the engine compartment on the left or right side of the bike.

Over the years the motorcycle has been branded as both a Kawasaki and a Suzuki depending on which manufacturer offered contingency money at the time.

The Energy Saving Trust says that the most efficient speed you can travel in a car in terms of achieving the best fuel economy is 55-65mph. Any faster, though, and the fuel efficiency decreases rapidly.

The 2018 Beta 300 RR is one of those machines, weighing a claimed 10.4 pounds lighter than the 2017 model. The 2018 bike comes with several updates to the engine; the biggest changes are a new cylinder and crankshaft, a new clutch, and a new frame geared at being stiffer for better turning.

The KTM 350XC-F and GasGasEX350F are very different motorcycles in 2023. First of all, you can't ignore the fact that GasGas is seen as the more affordable line of the two. The price certainly isn't low; it's $10,799, but it's less than $11,399, which is what the KTM costs.

KTM is an abbreviation of Kronreif Trunkenpolz Mattighofen (investor, founder, location of factory). After Ernst Kronreif died in 1980 and founder Hans Trunkenpolz died in 1982 his son Erich Trunkenpolz took over KTM for seven years until his death as well in 1989.

The 2023 Beta Dual-Sport lineup of four dirt-oriented street-legal motorcycles is here. The four models are virtually identical, other than the bores and strokes used by the 500, 430, 390, and 350 flavors. There are upgrades to the suspension, electronics, and ergonomics, so let's get to it.

All the factory recommended supplies for an oil change on a beta 4-stroke including Motul Transoil Expert 10w40, Motul 7100 4T 10w40 and an OEM Beta Oil Filter.

At the Beta USA dealer meeting, it was recommended for that particular oil to be mixing 70:1.

Dirt bikes and other performance bikes require oil that has an ester, which is a synthetic additive.

As a general rule of thumb, warming up an engine is a good idea, but if you have a newer bike with fuel injection and run your engine with modern—usually synthetic—oils, you can pretty much hit the switch and go without worry, as long as you don't bounce off the rev-limiter within the first few blocks.

Which is more reliable carburetor or fuel injection? ›

Is fuel injection more reliable than a carburetor? In general, a good fuel injection system is more accurate than a carburetor. This system delivers exactly the amount of fuel needed, no matter the conditions, meaning better reliability and fuel economy.

Preparing the Fuel System for Storage

However, draining the fuel system isn't an option in modern fuel-injected motorcycles. Instead, you'll need to rely on a fuel stabilizer to protect your fuel tank throughout the winter.

Generally, 10-12% of the overall fuel capacity is determined as the reserve capacity. However, the introduction of fuel-injection supply type has eliminated the use of an reserve fuel tank.

Engine stalls. That's all. If this happens frequently enough, or happens for long duration, you'll eventually damage your fuel pump and/or injector unit.

A bigger bore with a shorter stroke also allows an engine to rev higher, which creates more horsepower. Conversely, a long stroke is generally better for fuel efficiency, because it reduces surface area during combustion.

How much power does the Beta Xtrainer have? It's not like other 300cc enduro bikes, since it only has about 40 horsepower at best. However, the broad torque curve is what makes the XTrainer so good in the woods.

Many production passenger car engines have a stroke/bore ratio between 0.8 to 1.1. Truck stroke/bore ratios are typically higher (1.0 to 1.4) to improve efficiency and low speed torque. The higher the stroke/bore ratio, the less RPM the engine can safely handle, but the more low end torque it will produce.

Aside from the suspension, the Beta looks and feels top notch. The Brembo hydraulic clutch has nice a light pull and offers great feel, while the Nissin Brakes perform well, too, (both front and rear) with plenty of power and predictability.

Beta is a family-owned Italian company now run by Lapo Bianchi, who is the driving force behind Beta's success in recent years. The brand has been building motorcycles for over 70 years and has a rich background in trials as well as enduro and motocross.

Should a bike be light or heavy? ›

Additional weight increases inertia and wheel inertia matters a lot in cycling because the rider has to overcome it to accelerate. Heavier wheels require more energy to overcome this inertia. Many riders, even novices, can feel the difference when riding lighter wheels.

Almost any bicycle in good working order is fine. Mountain bikes, hybrids, comfort bikes, all will work great. In fact, because rail-trail grades tend not to exceed three percent (the maximum a train can climb), 10 or 12 gears are plenty. If your area is hilly, however, riding a one-speed cruiser may be a struggle.

Kawasaki power

Overall, it's a good buy, just don't expect the smoothness of a twin cylinder because it is a big single and vibrations at high engine speeds are a trait of thumpers. MV Agusta signed a partnership with VOGE to develop and produce the Italian brands range of small bikes.

What is the fastest Honda bike? ›

The supersport styling CBR 500R must not be forgotten while framing the listicle of most fastest Honda motorcycles.
