2013 Beta Evo 300 4 Stroke


2013 Beta Evo 300 4 Stroke

The Beta Evo 300 4 Stroke models lead the way in performance and ease of use. With their “in house” manufactured 4-valve liquid cooled motors to the famous Single Box aluminum frame, the new 2013 Evo thumpers are ready for the toughest sections or just cow-trailing along the mountains. These models come with an incredibly quiet muffler. Also available is the popular long-range tank/seat combo for extended trail rides. This set up provides two gallons of fuel for roughly a 50 mile range.

Easy to ride, Easy to start, Easy to live with!


WHAT IS Mototrial?

If you have never ridden a modern trials bike, you simply don’t know what you’re missing. The ability to negotiate rough terrain is unmatched by anything on two wheels, but the real secret is how much fun they are to ride! The combination of light weight (150 lbs), incredible low-speed handling, very quiet, and a torquey engine allow them to go practically anywhere with ease. Not only will you have fun, but you’ll experience new places to ride, meet new friends and learn new skills that will take you to the next level of motorcycling. Intrigued? You should be.

Keeping with our tradition of bringing you new bikes, not only is the EVO300 new, but so is Beta to our Cool Wall!

A very unique bike for very unique riding. Enjoy discussing about it and Mototrial riding as well.

The MC looks cool. It appears to be well suited for riding off road. It is light (under 90kg) and has a good amount of ground clearance (31cm).

Is 50 miles a good range for off road travel? Would one be advised to get the larger seat/tank option?

Is the MC comfortable enough for extended riding?

OH it's awesome no doubt!!! I love trials riding I wish I could do it even a little bit but I'll have to be happy with watching folks do it!!
Thanks for putting up an other than the norm for voting!!!!!

I vote "Cool". I don't know trial bikes well enough to state if the Beta's features are leading edge or yawning normal, but I do know that trials riding takes a LOT of skill and is fun to watch. I like the way these type of bikes are built with everything tucked up high and out of the way, with tons of ground clearance to allow for all kinds of neat manouevers. I recall many years ago watching a trials bike demonstration; one of the riders idled up to the rear of a big jeezly Ford station wagon, then climbed up and over the beast and hopped off the hood back onto the ground before casually motoring off.

Awesome. Anyone else here ride trials? I'm a GasGas fan myself so I don't know if I'm voting for this because it's our first trials bike on the board or not.

Beta and GasGas are the top brands to have. Both are known for reliability and a larger dealer network. GasGas tends to be more innovative while Beta tends to be a follower and makes less risky models.

Neither are really an issue for a trials bike. 50 miles is plenty and since they don't have a seat- not really made for comfort the way a normal bike would be. Extended riding is as long as you have endurance for all the jumps, hops, and launches.

Thanks for the information.

I've been to a few mototrial events and it's really interesting to watch, even if it's a bit slow. The balance and skill required to ride one of these bikes over obstacles is pretty amazing. Logs, cars, houses, they have climbed them all!

Over all, a very well placed finish for a motorcycle that is unique, different, takes a lot of skill and practice to ride properly.
