gaffamont Posted December 30, 2009 Report Share Posted December 30, 2009 Sorry, i'm sure this has most probably been on here before, but i want to know peoples veiws on the Beta Evo 4T 300, against a standard Montesa 4RT. I'm on my second 4RT now and had a 08 Beta Rev4 in between, as much as i liked the Rev4, i found that the 250 engine just somewhat under-power. So what's your actual experiences, (experiance please, now't with this armchair expert stuff . Regards GaffaMont. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fivemeister Posted December 30, 2009 Report Share Posted December 30, 2009 Can't compare to a 4RT as I have never ridden one, but had my 300 beta since Feb and I don't think you would ever be wanting for power. Very light and flickable and those experts who have tried it can do anything trick that they would on thier 2T version. It has been exceptionally reliable and an excellent starter (except when been upside down or on its side for a while when it will need a few extra kicks) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benbeta23 Posted December 30, 2009 Report Share Posted December 30, 2009 (edited) I have rode both bikes before, & i think the Beta is the much better bike, it just feels a lot easier to ride than the mont does, & feels a lot lighter, i definatly prefer the evo 300 4t. it would be worth having a test ride on one to see what you think Edited December 30, 2009 by GasGasben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyevans Posted December 30, 2009 Report Share Posted December 30, 2009 ben, have you ridden both in a trial? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benbeta23 Posted December 30, 2009 Report Share Posted December 30, 2009 (edited) ben, have you ridden both in a trial? Not in a trial, not trying to slate that the Montesa is a bad bike, just saying i prefer the Beta.

bigdamo Posted December 30, 2009 Report Share Posted December 30, 2009 Where the 09 Evo 300 breaking frame and swingarms like the Evo 2T? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ham2 Posted December 30, 2009 Report Share Posted December 30, 2009 Where the 09 Evo 300 breaking frame and swingarms like the Evo 2T? Do you think the extra weight of a 4st would help the situation? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigdamo Posted December 31, 2009 Report Share Posted December 31, 2009 Do you think the extra weight of a 4st would help the situation? So I guess the answer is yes? I have not heard of any of the 2009 Evo 4T breaking frames and swing arms though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
copemech Posted December 31, 2009 Report Share Posted December 31, 2009 One thing for sure, the Beta will chug along down low whilst the Mont flames out! There is a difference! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaffamont Posted December 31, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2009 Aye what's this about frames breaking !!! "flames out" ? That's one of the things i like about the 4RT, the power is there from tick-over (i do not have a programmable throttle body, don't need it, just get on and ride the flaming thing, though i do need stableizers ). But the Rev4 would grip for ever, i would say that it has got to be the best bike for grip, but i found that i really had to throttle it sometimes to get up and over things, where the 4RT would do it just above tick-over. That's what i am getting at i suppose, i want an Evo 300 (just like the look of it) IF the engine is comparble to the 4RT. Regards GaffaMont.
