The world of enduro and motocross is full of some of the most advanced technologies in the two-wheel sector. Brands like KTM, Husqvarna and Beta are always innovating when it comes to the performance of single-cylinder engines. Speaking of which, Beta has just presented its latest model, the 450 RX of 2024.
In fact, Beta is no stranger to high-performance off-road machines. Their two-stroke dirt bikes have proven to be some of the best in the sector and are ridden by some of the most skilled riders. The 450 RX 2024 represents the brand’s prowess when it comes to developing four-stroke racing engines. The company claims that the 450 RX has been designed from the ground up to give top motocross riders the best the brand has to offer.
The new RX is underpinned by a double cradle steel frame that promises a light but rigid construction. As for the suspension, the bike has robust 48 mm front forks and a 50 mm rear shock from KYB. The tires are from Maxxis and promise superior traction on loose terrain. The 450 RX is equipped with anodized Takasago Excel rims and a dual-material rear sprocket. The rider is guaranteed a solid position on top of this machine, thanks to the wide machined aluminum footrests with stainless steel pins.
As far as technology is concerned, the 450 RX is powered by a completely new engine, a 449.3 cc liquid-cooled four-stroke single-cylinder engine with fuel injection and four valves. Power is sent to the rear wheel via a five-speed transmission with a DID chain. In addition, Beta has included four throttle pulleys for a more personalized and easily adjustable throttle response. The clutch is also adjustable and consists of a multi-plate diaphragm hydraulic system
Needless to say, a brand new motocross machine of this caliber would come at quite a price. For more information and detailed specifications on the new 450 RX, as well as the other models in the Beta range, you can consult its official website or contact your nearest Beta dealer.
