Longtime readers may remember we tested this bike back in 2018 for our Fun Bikes feature.

When Beta sent out the press release for the 2022 model, my curiosity was roused because back then I thought the bike as-is was fantastic. I genuinely had a hard time imagining what improvements they could make. Well, lo and behold, Beta has done it—and maintained a price tag right under $8,000 as well.
