The new Beta 450 RC is what it calls a do-all four-stroke model. "The electric start and five- speed engine provide the power delivery perfect for all-around use, designed for riders who race in the woods on the week - ends and hit the moto track dur- ing the week," says Beta. Based on the 450 RX plat- form, the RC is equipped with an 18-inch rear wheel, a larger fuel tank, handguards, Race model tank panels, a formed plastic skid plate, and an O-ring chain.
