<\/figure>\n\n\n\n================================<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Just a reminder that our website is still being updated with all the new 2025 Beta Evo pics and info – However, we still have this fantastic Evo 200 for sale, likely the best bike for at least 50% of new Trials riders. – And don’t forget Beta have been in the Motorcycle business for longer than any other manufacturer today. – Plus we have most of the parts you are ever likely to need in stock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Below is the 2025 Evo with new suspension.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Remember it was on a Beta that Jordi Tarres, and Dougie Lampkin won their first World Championships – Toni Bou started on a Beta, and the current World Junior Champion George Hemingway rides a Beta. – If you want to get BETTER – ride a BETA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Now of course, Jordi has gone on to build his own bike – no doubt using a lot of what he learned from his Beta days. – <\/p>\n\n\n\n Suffice to say that we love both the Beta and TRS brands – they are full of heritage and a sound background in the sport of Trials, while others have come and gone, we think both these brands will be around for a very long time, which is great news for the Trials enthusiast. ( we have been selling Beta since 1993 and TRS since they came on the market in 2016)<\/p>\n\n\n\n End of Sales pitch!!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Well Actually I will mention another story – although we began selling Beta in 1993 – we did not actually ride them until 1996 – – back then we were on Gasser, because the 94- 95 were pretty good. – However in 1996 we were out practicing with our buddy Barry, who was on Beta and he was “cleaning” this one slippery section that I could not get through on the 96 Gasser. – “Try this” he said and that was how I became a Beta rider – !! – Obviously as a GG dealer we still test rode all the new models and the 2002 Pro was a breakthrough for that brand, but sadly for us it was also the start of a horror story with the new design failing in so many ways, that we were glad to see the back of them in 2005.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We are always posting pics of events from the old days of brands that were brilliant but did not survive because of poor business practices or failing to update designs. – Plus of course the Spanish way of controlling factories – too many unions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The bottom line ( as the Japanese found out ) the Trials market is very small and always will be. -Simply put, there is no money in Trials for a regular Motorcycle dealer – they operate on volume ! and in the Trials market – that simply isn’t enough to warrant stocking parts or even training staff on the sport. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Not that it’s all doom and gloom – in the UK the Sport is still doing reasonably well – with “Trials Only” dealers who cater to the club rider, wanting to simply have a fun day out. – But the huge shift to Vintage Trials in Europe is interesting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Finally – nice to see that Mick Andrews is a Trials Guru VIP – seen here on an ex John Surtees Matchless .
