The first of the 2011 Beta Evo’s arrived last week. Neil quickly had his in his shed for the first once over to set it all up. He is leaving it standard at first for test riding before he gives it the Neil touch. He said with a grin that his first ride has impressed him already with the longer modified header pipe clearly giving it more bottom end power like the Rev3. He said it sits up on the back wheel a lot easier and will be good for popping across gaps on the back wheel. A Evo80 Snr has gone south and is in the hands of young Patane. Dad reports it looks great and is fitted out with the Evo fat bars and front end, ie; triple clamps, fork legs etc. First ride reports are that it is a top weapon and even Dad reckons he could ride it in a trial. I’m looking forward to the full report on these and the Gassa’s of Lewis and Alex. Also Leo is arranging a test with a number of club riders which will cover the new 2011 Ossa, Beta Evo, Gas Gas Pro and the Sherco, should be an interesting test.
