Wish someone would court me with motorcycle gifts. It would take a 300 xc-w, in case youre considering trying this with me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You know, the small lightweight pretty ones are hot and fussy and temperamental. The big low compression clunky ones tend to be a bit greasy but a little bit lower maintenance.

robertaccio 406 Posted December 27, 2016 If you wanna go high end the Beta X-Trainer is insanely good/light simple/stylish and has so much easy delivery power like a trials bike. I rode 2 this week , very impressive top tier machine. Without putting anyone out I would say that 85% of full size race bike trail riders would do better on the Beta . less tiring, great handling, +size,+simplicity 2 stroke, + oil injected nomixing, + e start, + weight , suspension is engineered for sort of lite trail riding rocky trials stuff great, whoops not too good, like a trials bike, flowing trails single track they get full on with the program. I really dont think this is a bike to out grow if you are a trail rider, a keeper for sure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Looking for low budget learner bike that can take repeated thrashings, and from what the other guys say, a nice easy button on the bar. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
