glowa Posted May 31, 2015 Report Share Posted May 31, 2015 Hello, I ride enduro, especially I like tight technical terrain in the steep woods. I thought it would be fun to get myself a trials bike to train some moves. my enduro bike is a ktm 250 4stroke. Out of all trial motorbike manufactures the Beta dealer is the closest, therefore I am considering buying a beta unless someone here will tell me this is not a good bike and I should get another brand. Now I mostly write here to ask if I should buy 2 stroke or 4 stroke. As I said before I normally ride a 4 stroke and I love it but maybe the 2stroke is better for trials I have no idea, please advise on this, I was thinking of buying beta evo 250 4stroke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

onzatpro09 Posted May 31, 2015 Report Share Posted May 31, 2015 (edited) I think going for a 2 stroke would be the safer bet. A 4-stroke trials bike is hugely different to a 2-stroke and depending on how you want to ride it can be a help or hinderance. I currently ride a Beta 250 2-stroke, although my dad has recently bought a Beta 300 4-stroke. I have riden both and the 2 stoke is a lot easier to be poppy and flicky on and suits my style of riding whereas I have found that to be effective on the 4-stroke you have to be fairly smooth and fluid which could be potentially quite difficult for a beginner, even if you are experienced in enduro and other similar sports to trials. There's a reason that most bikes are 2-strokes, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't ride a 4. I have a couple of enduro rider friends who ride 2-stroke trials just fine, so I would say go with that. That's just my opinion, seeing that I ride a 2-stroke and they seem to be much easier to learn on. You can always switch to a 4 if you want after you have the basics down like my dad and a friend of mine recently did. I hope this slightly helps Just a quick note which may or may not be important to you; 4-strokes sound beastly and amazing over the 2-strokes Yet another note; try Trials Central for motorbike trials advice which will probably be more helpful and in depth Edited May 31, 2015 by onzatpro09 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
