In 2023, Beta's project to expand the horizons of RideAbility has officially entered the new dimension of Motocross in Europe, first with the RX 300 two-stroke and now with the king of motocross bikes, the RX 450 four-stroke!
It is officially the first four-stroke motocross bike built by the Italian manufacturer; for enthusiasts of all riding abilities, this translates into the first chance to ride the Beta MX bike closest to the race prototype which has been competing in the MXGP World Championship for the last three years.
A race-ready bike in all respects, designed for Motocross circuits all over the world as has never previously been possible. The design is completely new from the ground up: the frame, engine and components are of the highest level, just like the project behind it: bringing the new horizons of RideAbility to the MX world.
