to run a gear higher and lug up showing how the 200 has the best of both worlds between a smaller and larger capacity bike . The Beta 200 Racing is universal in the fact that it can be ridden by a range and level of riders compared to a 125 where you must be on the pipe a lot more and very on point and consistent with good line choice and gear selection . Naturally the Racing has a good , low centre of gravity and is shaped to provide so much grip on the bike . Small things like the plastic protruding out slightly on the right-hand side of the airbox provides a great deal of grip to the bike when hanging off the rear end on it . The hydraulic clutch has good engagement , and the brakes have good modulation and can get you to a stop
quickly . I ’ m a massive fan of the foot pegs on the Racing ; they provide a nice big platform and plenty of grip in all conditions . The 200-Racing comes with some cool little bling accessories like a handle on the front axle making taking the wheel off and on that little bit faster - ideal for race situations . It ’ s equipped with a seat cover that is double stitched and is super grippy in the worst conditions . The Sachs rear shock can be adjusted on the fly with your hands which is handy when going from a range of tracks and conditions . The digital dash up front that displays your speed , mileage , battery voltage and more is super handy for enduro events or when you ’ re wanting some data from your days riding . LIAM CALLEY
