It is indeed devious at best, fraud would also be a common word for it.
I also just received a EVO 300 4T Factory, and guess what, no compression adjuster on the fork.
Throw in that the build quality is horrible. Thread destroyed in the frame, threads not drilled the right places in the frame, threaded studs so far off on the muffler, that the heat shield can't be mounted......
That's hardly a long term strategy Beta has there.
EDIT: and now that Beta found an even cheaper supplier for forks (Ollé), there's no workaround anymore, like there was on the Formula forks.
