I just purchased a 2012 beta Evo 300 4t.
I have not been riding trials very long and had a jotagas 300 previously. I purchased the beta on its condition and had never ridden a 4t trials bike. Well it was a revelation I did not ride for 2 months or so as had a shoulder injury, but went straight to a trial without ever riding the beta.
I was like a kid on Christmas unloading when I got to the trial, signed on then off to the 1st section, i normally ride sportsman and going to go clubman next year, it was a 1 route trial set up fairly easy and the weather had been kind.
I had a walk of the 1st section then I was the 1st rider to open the section.
Having no idea on gearing I went for 2nd which was a good choice as a climb out of the section let me rev it out a little, the grip level from the 4t seemed amazing and almost endless in the almost perfect conditions, I cleaned the whole of lap 1 of 4 which is better than I normally do, I noticed that my cooling fan hadn't cut in and the 4t was getting very warm so a quick visit to the pits and I bridged the cooling fan so it ran constantly. I also noticed popping on deceleration so think I will give the mixture screw half a turn before next trial.
Anyway the rest of the day gave me more and more confidence and I went round clean all 4 laps and that has never happened before!!
I really am chuffed with the beta 4t honestly feels like the perfect bike for me in my limited experience!
Can't wait for the next trial!!
