Good evening all, I'm interested in buying a new two stroke trials bike. Beta or Sherco but cannot decide what to go for. Both bikes tick the boxes for me. One of my reservations of the beta is the Keihin carb as I've heard that they can be prone to give issues / take a lot of setting up where as the dellorto on the Sherco "just works". Anybody out there had any experiences of this causing any issues?

The 16 sherco has a keihin carb aswell,had a beta in the past and the sherco is a better bike got a 16 300 st at the moment and the jetting is spot on the keihin carbs are not hard to set

I know the 300 has a Keihin carb. I thaught the 250 sherco had a dellorto.

The 2015 Sherco had a dellorto, the 2016 bikes both run keihin's

Make sure you test ride both bikes properly before you buy, these are quite different in character & suit different people.

I wouldn't worry about carb setup, not really an issue. They way the bike feels to you is the main thing.

I guess the Evo 250 is mellower and better suited to a clubman rider
