2025 BETA 300RR X-PRO TWO STROKE TEST

For the last two weeks, we’ve been having fun. The dirt is wet in Southern California and it’s been around 70 degrees. Best of all, we have the 2025 Beta 300RR X-Pro two stroke. The “X-Pro” name is new for 2025 because Beta wanted to make sure everyone knew it wasn’t the same old thing. The core elements haven’t changed; it’s a case-reed engine with a Keihin PWK 36mm carburetor and Moto Tassinari reeds. The suspension is manufactured by Sachs and the frame is steel with a central backbone. This year the frame was redesigned with input from Beta’s motocross team. It has a larger backbone with less flex. It also has a lower seat height and a new single-spring Sachs ZF SHC fork. That fork is considerably lighter than the old one and contributes to an overall weight loss. On our scale, the bike is 233 pounds without fuel. Beta has made steady progress in the weight department over the past few years and now the 300RR X-Pro is essentially the same as the current KTM 300XC-W.The reason we love this bike is all about the power delivery. It makes smooth, usable torque from the very, very bottom, where most four-strokes won’t even run. In the middle, it’s smooth and throaty, and on top, it’s respectable and clean. There’s no detonation, it doesn’t load up and it never misses a beat. If carburetors had always worked this well, no one would have even thought to invent fuel-injection. The map switch offers a choice between a sunshine emoji and a raincloud, but when you switch back and forth, you only notice a change in peak revs. The power characteristic down low isn’t that different. As far as the power valve adjuster, ours came set to a half-turn clockwise from flush with the case. We only mess with it a little and were’ crazy o ver the results. In either direction, it seems the motor only develops a harder hit–you just move that hit around. We eventually returned to the original setting.
