2024 Carbureted 190–200cc Two-Stroke Off-Road & Enduro Bikes
Enduro motorcycles have one of the widest engine size ranges of any type of dirt bike. Like others such as motocross and cross-country, 125cc two-strokes are the smallest when it comes to full-size machines. At the other end of the spectrum are big-bore four-stroke enduros with engines up to 511cc in displacement. Back toward the smaller end of bore and stroke measurements, just above 125cc premix-burners are 144cc and 190–200cc two-strokes. In this article, we’re going to cover the latter—all of which are carbureted.

2024 Beta 200 RR
Beta’s 200 RR is the lone motorcycle in this category without KYB suspension. (Beta/)
The first of just two manufacturers in this list is Beta. The Italian concern offers two options in the 190–200cc two-stroke category, the standard model being the 200 RR. Its engine is a liquid-cooled 190cc two-stroke single-cylinder with a Keihin PWK 36mm carburetor that sends a mixture of air and fuel through a VForce4R reed valve system. The biggest difference between the 200 RR and its 200 RR Race Edition counterpart is the former’s use of a ZF Sachs 48mm open-cartridge coil-spring fork and ZF Sachs shock. The up-spec model on the other hand features a KYB Air-Oil Separate (AOS) 48mm closed-cartridge coil-spring fork and KYB shock.

2024 Beta 200 RR Race Edition
Higher-performance suspension is the most notable upgrade the 200 RR Race Edition features over the standard-model 200 RR. (Beta/)
Would you pay an extra $300 for a Beta 200 RR with KYB suspension? If so, the 200 RR Race Edition is right up your alley. In addition to more performance-focused suspension, Beta’s up-spec 190cc two-stroke features black anodized footpegs with steel pins, an aluminum/steel hybrid rear sprocket, a red anodized quick-release axle pull, and hand guards. Appearance-wise, there are a blue headlight, front fender, and fork guards, plus competition-inspired graphics. The last time we ran this model on our in-house dyno was in 2022, where it made 31.0 hp and 18.9 lb.-ft. of torque. That same year, it rolled onto our automotive scales at 234 pounds wet.

If some of these price tags scare you, check out the Rieju MR Ranger 200. It’s the least expensive in this segment—$900 less than Beta’s 200 RR and its own MR Racing 200 sibling. The Spanish manufacturer designed the MR Ranger 200 to be a simple dirt bike for trail riding. A lower stance makes it easier for riders to touch their feet on the ground and model-specific engine tuning is designed to give it a more user-friendly power delivery. Claimed seat height on the MR Ranger 200 is 36.3 inches.

2024 Rieju MR Pro 200
The only 190–200cc two-stroke off-road motorcycle with a five-figure price tag is Rieju’s MR Pro 200. (Rieju/)
The most expensive in this segment, Rieu’s MR Pro 200 carries a suggested retail price that’s $900 more than the MR Racing 200. What warrants the price increase? The MR Pro 200 boasts several up-spec features not seen on the MR Racing 200 including Xtrig ROCS triple clamps, DLC-coated lower fork tubes, red-anodized wheel hubs, a radiator fan, Polisport ignition and clutch cover protectors, a Renthal Twinwall handlebar, and Renthal grips. Like its Rieju stablemates of the same displacement, the MR Pro 200 sends horsepower and torque to the rear wheel with a carbureted liquid-cooled two-stroke 199cc single-cylinder engine.
