Default Beta 300 racing! The defection is complete!

Hey guys just thought I'd share a couple of pics of my new beta 300 with you. After a lot of thinking and research I just couldn't pass up trying the beta for another gasser. Here she is

Is it pink? I like the forks! Is that a dreaded Sachs shock?

It's a weird color bright red and light blue! The sachs rear has Apparantly improved quite a lot but no matter it's checking out for a fox podium

Yeah, I'm wrestling with pulling the trigger on the fox P3 as well. It's just $$ right?

In terms of ergonomics how does it compare to the GG. I tried a 2014 KTM the other day and it still felt alien

Very nice choice Trevski. New bikes are the best (even if only until their first ride).

Swazi - after riding my 2013 chasis'd gasser the ktms feel much less alien then they used to. I don't know if thats a good thing or not. Maybe I have just spent a bit more time with leg over the pumpkins now??

From all accounts the Beta seems to have that tight nimble package feel. I'd love to try one to see what they're like for myself.

Nice work! Have read some really good reviews. Make sure you post some regular ride reports.

I'm the same way, I need a new set of trelleborgs and that's another k so might be spring before I see the fox

It's definetly a lot better ergos than the ktm I've been riding a 300xc 14 this summer and I didn't like the feeling either. It feels very similar to my 10 gasser but I didn't like the height of the new gassers
