The New Beta 450 RX: A Cutting-Edge Motocross Machine
The world of enduro and motocross is filled with some of the most advanced technology in the two-wheeled industry. Brands like KTM, Husqvarna, and Beta are constantly pushing the boundaries when it comes to extracting performance from compact single-cylinder engines. Speaking of Beta, they have just introduced their latest model, the 2024 450 RX.
Beta is no stranger to high-performance off-road bikes. Their two-stroke dirt bikes are known to be some of the best in the business and are ridden by highly skilled riders. The 2024 450 RX showcases Beta's expertise in developing four-stroke racing engines. According to the company, this bike has been meticulously designed to offer top-tier motocross racers the best that Beta has to offer.
The new 450 RX features a molybdenum steel double cradle frame, ensuring a lightweight yet sturdy construction. It is equipped with KYB 48 mm front forks and a 50 mm rear shock absorber for excellent suspension. The Maxxis tires provide superior traction on loose terrain. The bike also boasts anodized Takasago Excel rims and a dual-material rear sprocket. The rider can enjoy a comfortable ride with wide machined aluminum foot pegs featuring stainless steel pins.
When it comes to technology, the 450 RX is powered by a brand new four-stroke 449.3 cc, liquid-cooled, fuel-injected, four-valve, single-cylinder engine. Power is transmitted to the rear wheel through a five-speed transmission with a DID chain. Beta has also included four throttle pulleys for a customizable and easily adjustable throttle response. The clutch is adjustable as well, utilizing a hydraulic diaphragm multi-plate system.
As expected, a motocross machine of this caliber comes with a premium price tag. Beta's bikes have never been known for their affordability. The new Beta 450 RX has an MSRP of $10,999.
