Betastopped production for 2 months in spring 2020 as the 99,9% of companies/factories here in Italy , a 34% of production increment is great thing but talking about pure numbers it doesn't say too much as we don't know exactly to what compare that number , I suppose in these months they increased manufacturing by post lockdown period , maybe with plants upgrades and hiring more employees .

Anyway , good news ! As I always said Beta is living a dream since 2015 after their 'rebirth' , year after year they increased a lot sells all around the world . Thankfully their worldwide selling network is strong expecially in US so they can go on ( EU market is almost dead )


Talking about growth , Beta is good but Sherco has made a huge miracle , they are the 'youngest' company but they are already on top for sells and winning riders , they never had selling crysis as the son of the owner explained online : they sell like never before the 300s 2s factory and 300 4s factory , which are the most expensive but also the most requested - but the truth is that the owner had the possibility to throw in Sherco a big amount of money in a very short time thanks to his building/construction company ( he builds Carrefour malls around the EU , nuclear plants and so on ) but to be fair money is not the only solution , you can't go on without great products , ideas and passion so yes they are pushing hard too .


Sherco has really taken off and made huge inroads into the US market. Smart getting the bikes into the right hands here to promote the bike. Now some of the biggest YouTube channels in our region jumping onto Sherco over KTM which takes a lot!


At least your health officials are doing something , good or bad you decide , but something is better than nothing . Here a 'underground' war has started to catch vax out from officials agreements made my EU commission , this confirms again how stupid and useless they are , and the most hilarious thing is that when all this situation will be solved , nobody will punish them !


I've been riding Beta for a few years now, 2017 300 for 3-400 hours and now a 2020 for another 360 hours.

Prior to that I had a 2015 (I think it was) Sherco 290 (disliked that one) and before that a 2007 GasGas 250 (which I still have but haven't ridden for ages).



I'm thinking about stepping onto a TRS RR 300 but it would be a step into the unknown as I have never ridden one and don't know anyone within 300km with one I could borrow. I'm OK with that - there's no "bad" bikes out there these days so I'm comfortable buying one un-ridden - it'll be trials bike, all good.



What I'd like to hear is some comments about how the two bikes, Beta 300 (not factory) and TRRS RR 300 feel compared to each other. The subjective "feels like it holds turns better", "feels easier to hop", "more aggressive throttle", etc.


Background

Rider - I ride Trial 3 in Australia (Trial 1 being the expert/pro class), not particularly well. I'm 60 & still improving my riding slowly, but recognise my improvement on harder obstacles is going to get capped by advancing age in the not too far distant future. I'd like a bike that will help take me as far as I can go. I'll never ride above T3. I don't need a 300, but I like their tractorability down low and don't have any issue with the power of the 300 Beta. I compete for fun, and challenge - I really don't care where my results are as long as I've had a good challenging but enjoyable ride and learnt something new. And haven't hurt myself!

Beta - I'm pretty happy with it - it just goes without any drama. Starts easily every time, things don't break on them and because they've been around in pretty much the same form for years they are pretty well sorted. The clutch might not be the best in the pack, but I haven't had a problem with either of mine. I quite like the slightly more rearward peg position of the Beta, but no big deal. I've upgraded the rear shock to a TRP which I'm very happy with.

TRRS - is a more recent design, a better clutch, better suspension. They seem to be pretty reliable and well built, which is important to me - I put around 300 hours a year on my bike & I don't want to be constantly adjusting and fixing things. I hear the engines are pretty snappy - I'm OK with that, but do wonder if it's going to be a hindrance. I also hear the suspension works very well, which is perhaps the weakest point of the Beta.


The TRS has the better brakes and suspension but both bikes are very capable and I doubt that I would ever find the limit of either of them. My wife's bike is a bit old (2014) and so not as sharp as my TRS (2022). She is very happy with it but I have found it a bit lacking (maybe the age not the brand?) As a result I have fitted a Galfer front disc rotor and Galfer pads and replaced the front master with a braktec one (as used on the factory bikes). The front is now as good as my TRS and locks on a single finger light pull on the lever.


I find it slightly easier to static balance the Beta than the TRS. If the missus wants the EM I will probably trade my bike in for it and keep hers purely on cost. I like my TRS a lot but hey - its just a bike. (Did I just type that? OMG) ?


I talked my son into having the first TRS in our club. Great bike except two things. The front end is too light, which causes it to push. They also tend stall for whatever reason. Mechanically sound, but still having water pump seal issues and the air filter is not as easy to get to as it should be.


From people that have ridden both I am told that the TRS has very similar ride characteristics as a Gas Gas. They were both developed to suit Adam Raga and I believe both had involvement from Jordi Tarres, so the ride is similar.


By the way I did ride the 300 rr for about 9 months until my Montesa 301 finally showed up. I did give the TRRS a fair try. I went from too light a front end to too heavy! I would have bought a 300 Gold instead of the Montesa, but the front end was just to vague and did not inspire confidence.


I am happy with the Beta brakes mostly - no problem at all with the front, the back fails after long steep downhills but comes back quickly. No amount of bleeding seems to change that. No big deal as I'm aware of it. So I'll be intrigued to ride a bike with even sharper front brakes.

Interesting you find the Beta easier to static balance, that's an area I need all the help I can get.

I'd definitely recommend the TRP, they work extremely well. The difference was very significant from the stock shock and was plug-and-play. No more hard bottoming, more compliant feel ... Excellent value I reckon.
