Beta Enduro

[Magellan]

My local dealer just started carrying these. I know they make some pretty good trials bikes. Anyone know any one with one or ride one yourself?

I'm looking for a new (to me at least) bike and am mroe curious than anything about these.

Seen old stock in the $5k range

I was wondering if these were any good, as I've been told they have top quality components. So, why are there last year's models collecting dust on the showroom floor with slashed prices?

Their 400/450/525 have KTM motors and transmissions. (I'm not sure about the 250)Suspension is Marzocchi Shiver forks and Sachs shocks. They look good and should be reliable. I think the only reason you are not seeing many of them is there aren't many dealers and people just don't know about them. I would not be afraid of buying one.

Untill Friday night I didn't know that Beta made Enduro bikes at all. I saw one parked inside the impound for the Trinidad Colorado ISDE Qualifier and it looked awesome. The only things I learned about it is what DWreck stated above, I'll have to check up on them some more...

FWIW, Jordan Brandt from Northern California (District 36) is credited with 3rd OA at the Sawmill National enduro on a Beta.

I just checked and in fact the Beta rider at the Six Days Colorado Qualifier was in fact Jordan Brandt with a 10th place O/A finish.

According to the D-36 page, he was 3rd overall in the D-36 Cross Country series after 11 rounds. Looks like he may have been on KTM before Beta.

Looks like he may have been on KTM before Beta.

Jordan rode KTM's for the last few years. Beta made him an offer & KTM didn't for '07. He is quite happy with the Beta's, Even more so now that IMS finalized a tank for him :)
Up till now if race range went over the 50 mile mark he had to use a #plate tank.

FYI, Jordan Brandt took his Beta to 4th place OA at the Idaho ISDE 2 day Qualifier.
