December 2025 19 Beta 350 X-PRO Beta 350 X-PRO Race Report By Keith Taylor Race Report By Keith Taylor What a weekend it was at the last round of the NETRA Hare Scramble series at Richardson's Farm! When I got a call from Kurt to race the 2025 Beta 350 X-PRO for Trail Rider Magazine, it was a no-brainer. Not having ridden the bike yet, we spent Saturday morning moun ng a fresh pair of Bridgestone Bat- tlecross res. Kurt chose an X40 for the rear and an X31 for the front, and what a perfect combina on it was for the rocky, wet condi ons. The rear was paired with a heavy-duty tube at seven psi, and the front at 11 psi; the trac on in these condi ons was excellent. Come race day, the only ride me I've had on this bike was from the pits to the star ng line. When the green flag dropped, I was the last one off the gate, so I told myself to have fun, put the hammer down, and that's just what I did. The Beta 350 X-PRO took everything I gave it and then some. The 350 X-PRO is one of the funnest bikes I've ever ridden. The cockpit was incredibly comfortable, and the handling was top-notch, even in the rough, wet woods. Matched with the stellar power of the 350cc 4-stroke, it was a pleasure to race in bone-stock form. With a li le bit of suspension tuning, the 350 X-PRO would make an ul mate NETRA woods weapon in my opinion. It was an absolute pleasure to race the Beta 350 X-PRO for such an amazing company as Trail Rider Magazine. This publica on has stood the test of me in this new age of digital media, and I look forward to many more years of working with Kurt and his staff. They are top-notch! -Keith 817
