Spoiler for 2.0:
The beast mode is activated when the inhibitors are retracted. I guess those rod-shaped devices are an additional measure to control the Eva by quelling the 'animal' side and thus make the entity easier to tame by a human being. Removing them rewards the pilot with an extreme performance boost, but there is probably (meaning this is just my theory and nothing canon) a higher chance of the Eva becoming berserk or the pilot suffering from mental contamination. Not to mention that it'd be inherently unsafe to use an Eva with less defenses (the straitjacket-like armor is blown off) and moving around with more violence than usual.
Mari uses the Beast mode in 2.0 and she experiences a significant amount of feedback from the transition. Her bloodlust litterally goes through the roof while the Eva reverts to a more animalistic state (as evidenced by its more predatory movements and the gaping maw that is usually concealed by the helm).
