Today we will post our impressions of the all new Beta Trials bike – yes the Sincro really is All new , and it’s a beauty.
After uncrating the new bike, we spent some time checking out the different aspects over the long established Evo model – the frame, engine in fact it appears only the handlebars, wheels and a few other things might be the same.
The bike feels light and lists at 68kg for the 200 which we have – and also is quite “Slim” – After checking it over and firing it up, we couldn’t wait to head over to our favorite spot to test ride.
The bike feels different to the Evo – which is to be expected, but we noticed how slick the tranny 6 speed worked – in fact at times we were not sure which gear we were in, the 200 engine pulls so strong.
We did our usual loop on the Westside and the bike ran flawlessly – ( as it should) – very smooth but with lots of zap when you need it.
We let buddy Gerry try the bike and as a rank newbie to the Trials world he found it very easy to control at low speed figure eights and balance technique – the new clutch works just fine – in fact this is listed as a diaphragm clutch but only the springs are really this design the clutch plates appear to be the same style as the Evo – but we did not notice any stickiness from cold. – the pull on the clutch lever very easy one finger.
We liked the attention to detail such as the new rad cover very easy to pop out – and the new airbox is a huge improvement and should be a real hit with riders at the Scottish.
As our bloggers know we have been riding the 200 Beta Evo model from the very first time it was introduced using the bottom end from the 125 – then the big leap fitting the 250 bottom end and the 28mm PWK carb as used on most models these days. – I think it’s safe to say we have sold more 200’s than any other dealer -in Canada – they really are that good.
Suffice to say that this new Beta is a real winner and while I still think the Evo is hard to beat if you are a Beta fan – if you get a chance to test ride the all new Sincro – I have no doubt you will be impressed.
And finally we do have an estart kit coming for this bike, because now it’s a right side kick – for me having a very bad right knee, it is a problem. ( but remember I’m what the brits call “an old Git”)
Below are a few pics from our ride on a gorgeous day in the Okanagan Valley.
And here is Gerry. – he liked it.
