One of the guys I go greenlaning with rides a beta x trainer. He's probably around 5'6" and goes well on it. Electric start and autolube does away with most of the hassle of using a two stroke on the trail and it is plenty fast enough for the trails. Possible downsides are that I think he had to put some work into getting the suspension to work in our British mud and I believe beta spares are costly in the UK.
If a four stroke is more your thing, I would be looking at the ktm exc-f or maybe yamaha wr-f, but would be tempted to look at the bigger capacity models if trail riding only. Unless regularly riding very technical rocky trails, modern enduro bikes are nicer to ride than trail or trials derived bikes on most of the green lanes in the uk.

Disagree. Freeride is close to nothing. Sherco Xride is close to a trials and is a blast to ride.

Thanks all for the replies.

The EC250F started to look like a much better proposition, until I looked up and found that there were only circa. 15 sold in the UK! So Im now back to the point where I have concerns over the availability of parts and the ability to resale etc Quote:

I do agree with you that a Freeride is close to nothing but my statement was that it is closer to a trials bike than the Beta xtrainer. I came to that conclusion because the KTM has lower weight, shorter wheelbase, and presumably milder engine. While both are aimed as starter bikes the Beta has much more potential as skills grow because it would be much easier to modify it into a great woods weapon. IMO I also agree with Rod that a lowered 200 or 250 is better than any of these other bikes we've talked about.
