Thanks for your thoughts! 59, 180, 5'9" and 32" inseam. Looking for something ride EC single-track and soft enduro. Currently with WR250R/X and '24 500EXCF. 500 is just to tall & heavy for me on single-track and enduro. Never owned a 2T.
Enter the '26 GG EC300 and Beta 300 X-Pro.
Thinking the EC300 TBI + map switch will be an easier transition to 2T.
Thinking that the 300 X-Pro will be lower and easier to handle.
I'm slow so maybe the Xplor fork won't spoil the party, and the Sachs will likely be fine from what I've read.
Appreciate any and all comments!
Update: First, thanks for everyone's input - great advice & conversation here! Beta for the win, but EC300 for the price. I'm going with the Gasser EC300, even though the consensus here seemed to be Beta - and I agree! Along with the EC300, the same dealer had a great deal on a new GasGas trials bike, so I was able to get two bikes for about the price of one 300 X-pro (and much less when you consider the 1% financing). Thanks again - hopefuly some old & slow rider will find this thread helpful and they'll buy a Beta!
