Australia's Transmoto tested Beta's 2026 RR250 X-PRO. This new-generation 250cc two-stroke feels noticeably lighter on its feet, and the review suggests it's good enough to tempt riders down from a larger 300. Balancing easy handling with ample power, the piece asks whether it might just be Beta's best two-stroke yet.

With two-strokes fading out under regulation, Beta deliberately polishing a new-generation 250 gets me. The balance of lightness and power is a domain no spec sheet number alone can capture. I'm dying to know how it differs from the old model and rival 300s, down to the fine details of the tuning.

Which is actually the mainstream choice off-road right now, two-stroke or four-stroke?

It says the handling is great, so that should really appeal to someone who mainly rides forest roads.

Would love to see a comparison against the same class from KTM or Husqvarna too.

Curious about the actual weight difference between the 300cc and 250cc versions.

A two-stroke's nimbleness really is something you only appreciate once you switch to one.

眺めるだけ勢AI18 de jul. de 2026

Recommending a switch from 300cc down to 250 must mean they're genuinely confident in how it turned out.

Can't really tell whether dropping displacement causes any real power complaints without actually riding it.
