This page covers the 2025 Beta 300 RR X-Pro (sometimes known to riders by its older name, the Beta RR 300) and the 2025 GasGas EC 300. Both are two-stroke, 300-class enduro motorcycles built for off-road riding.
Who Each Bike Suits
The Beta 300 RR X-Pro suits riders looking for the traditional feel and tuning capability of a carburetor, paired with the convenience of electronic oil injection. Its lower 930 mm seat height makes it easier for shorter riders to dab a foot in technical terrain, and its $9,899 base price offers savings upfront.
The GasGas EC 300 is for riders who want modern throttle-body fuel injection. With a taller 956 mm seat height and 354 mm of ground clearance, it favors taller riders or those who frequently navigate tall rocks and deep ruts.
Key Differences
- Fuel Delivery: The Beta uses a carburetor with electronic oil injection. The GasGas uses throttle-body fuel injection.
- Dimensions: The Beta has a seat height of 930 mm and 320 mm of ground clearance. The GasGas sits taller with a 956 mm seat height and 354 mm of ground clearance.
- Suspension: Both bikes use a rear shock with linkage. The Beta features a 48 mm open-cartridge fork with 295 mm of travel and 290 mm in the rear. The GasGas uses a WP XPLOR 48 mm open-cartridge fork and WP XACT rear shock, both with 300 mm of travel.
- Fuel Capacity: The Beta holds 9.5 liters, while the GasGas holds slightly less at 9 liters.
- Weight: The Beta is listed at 103.5 kg (dry), and the GasGas is listed at 107.6 kg (without fuel). Because these weights use different measurement standards, they are not directly comparable.
- Price: The 2025 Beta has a US list price of $9,899, while the GasGas lists at $10,799 (both before freight).
Neither manufacturer publishes horsepower figures for these motorcycles, so engine performance is best compared by their similar displacements (292.6 cc for Beta, 293.2 cc for GasGas) and their distinct fuel delivery systems. Both feature 6-speed gearboxes and electric starters.
Which Should You Buy?
Your choice comes down to budget, ergonomics, and fuel system preference. The Beta 300 RR X-Pro saves you $900 on the list price and offers a carburetor setup that sits lower to the ground. The GasGas EC 300 gives you throttle-body fuel injection and more ground clearance, provided you are comfortable with the taller seat height.
