Folks,
Newish to trails - I had a 2012 Beta 2T for 12/18 months and got on ok with it but sold it due to working abroad.
I was going to try and pick another up but missed out. There is a locally sourced 2018 Factory Evo 300 2T available but I am wondering how wild they are. I am not in a position to have a test ride and nor do I know anyone in the trials community that I could blag a ride on one from.
It has an aftermarket head on to alter the compression (blue anodised SR3 - you may know what that means) to smooth out the bottom end power delivery and I could put a slow action throttle on for the time being.
I have been riding for 25yrs+ ; road, track, green laning (and I appreciate trials is a different animal) but is the 300 2T a vastly different animal to the 250 for a relative novice at trials?
I am not looking to be jumping up rock faces, launching across upturned skips and being a Toni Bou but nor am I looking to launch myself into A&E on Sunday afternoon - just easy trials sections, skills building at pay and play areas and maybe some short green laning with the VRM slapped on.
Any experienced words of wisdom?!
