P60 FIRST LOOK I 2025 BETA 300 RX & 450 RX MOTOCROSSERS B eta's two motocross models, the 300 RX two-stroke and 450 RX four- stroke, feature updates that the com- pany says "enhance both models." Updates to the 300 include changes to the engine, chassis and suspension. A new frame highlights the 300, which Beta says is now more like the 450 RX's frame. The main benefit is improved turning. There is a new aluminum subframe that also houses a more compact plastic tray system for the battery and starter solenoid. Beta says that updated porting specs to the engine give the 300 more power, making it "pull harder and longer." The 450 RX gets a stronger rear alumi - num subframe, redesigned airbox, suspen- sion upgrades, as well as a more powerful lithium battery, among other changes. Engine mapping has been updated with the latest settings that have been tested by the Beta race team. It also has traction control. Both bikes will be available in October with MSRPs of $9499 for the 300 RX and $10,999 for the 450 RX. CN 2025 BETA 300 RX & 450 RX MOTOCROSSERS 2025 Beta 450 RX 2025 Beta 300 RX
