trialtrial Posted November 29, 2011 Report Share Posted November 29, 2011 (edited) So there is a used 2005 4RT for sale - looks in pretty decent shape - not sure of the hours though. I have a GG 2000 TXT280 and like it a lot, but its really worn out. I am new to trials bike (been riding enduro) but absolutely love it for the highly technical trails we have out here. For a newbie I understand that a remapping would be in order. And perhaps the clutch might need to be changed out. But were the 2005s and OK year for the 4RT? Anything I should watch for? And to make matters worse - there is a 2008 Beta Rev 4T for about the same price. *sigh* thanks Don Edited November 29, 2011 by TrialTrial Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

telecat Posted November 29, 2011 Report Share Posted November 29, 2011 Both work well as "long ride" bikes with the Beta the Better all round Trials bike as it's a bit softer and easier to Trial. There is a couple of Photos of a converted Beta Here. The Montesa has better outright power and overall is a better long distance bike. Similar kit to that on the Pictured Beta is also available.

trialtrial Posted November 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2011 Well I went and rode the beta - I could not pass it up great deal, very nice bike, ultra mellow - perfect for a dude like me. Kinda different coming from a 2T trials bike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
