JORDAN ASHBURN’S BETA 300RR
A M O T O R H E A D ’ S G U I D E T O T H E CO O L E S T B I K E S
Here is Jordan’s me-
chanic, Kevin Spina
talking about Jordan’s
2017 Beta 300RR:
Starting out with the
suspension, it is our own
Beta factory in-house sus-
pension setup. This setup
we’re using is the same
setup we use for last
year’s Tennessee Knock
Out. So, it’s a real soft;
basically it’s a real mushy
suspension for better
traction on the rocks. So
we really just want the
suspension to be re-
ally soft and planted. We
don’t really want any big
deflections.
New to our 2018 team
this year is going to be
Renthal. Jordan is run-
ning the 996 bar with
Renthal grips as well.
For levers we went
with Arc levers for this
year. And as far as hand
guards, we use Enduro
Engineering flag brush
deflectors.
The triple clamps are
just stock OEM Beta triple
clamps.
The bar mounts are BRP
mounts.
The P3 skid plate is new
for the team this year as
well. They have a carbon
fiber one out, which is
going to offer pretty
good protection.
We also put the Obie
linkage guard on there. P3
also for this year is mak-
ing gripped frame guards
as well. This bike didn’t
come equipped with
them, but that’ll be some-
thing you’ll see on our
2018 GNCC endurocross
bikes.
We’re doing stock
wheels. But on this bike
here we have Innteck
brake rotors front and
rear. It’s a floating front,
and then the solid in the
rear.
We’re using the stock
radiators with Bulletproof
Design radiator guards,
and Samco hoses on the
