The world of enduro and motocross is filled with some of the most advanced technologies in the two-wheeled 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 unveiled its latest model, the 2024 450 RX.
Indeed, 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 industry and are ridden by some of the most skilled riders. The 2024 450 RX represents the brand’s prowess in developing competition four-stroke engines. The company claims that the 450 RX was designed from the ground up to provide top motocross riders with the best that the brand has to offer.
The new RX is supported by a double cradle steel frame that promises a lightweight yet rigid construction. As for the suspension, the bike features sturdy 48mm front forks and a 50mm 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 ensured a solid position on top of this machine, thanks to the wide machined aluminum foot pegs with stainless steel pins.
In terms of technology, the 450 RX is powered by a completely new engine, a 449.3 cc liquid-cooled single-cylinder four-stroke engine with fuel injection and four valves. Power is sent to the rear wheel through a five-speed transmission with a DID chain. Additionally, Beta has included four acceleration pulleys for a more personalized and easily adjustable throttle response. The clutch is also adjustable and consists of a hydraulic multi-plate diaphragm system.
It goes without saying that a brand new motocross machine of this caliber would have a fairly high price. For more information and detailed specifications on the new 450 RX, as well as on the other models in the Beta range, you can visit their official website or contact the nearest Beta dealer.
