QUICKSPIN I 2027 Beta RX 350 P116 The muffler has been redesigned for more durability. The RX 350 also includes mod- ern features such as a hydraulically operated wet diaphragm-style clutch, electric start and two ride modes, accessed via a map switch centered on the handlebar pad. The aggres- sive map is shown as a sun on the map switch, and the smoother mode displays a cloud with raindrops. A powder-coated black steel frame pairs with the black swingarm, engine cases and rims. The Beta's chromoly- steel frame is fitted with fully adjustable suspension, including top-tier KYB Air- Oil-Separate (AOS) forks and a 50mm KYB rear shock, with Dunlop MX34 tires putting power to the ground. It's fitted with a 19-inch rear wheel and uses a Nissin disc brake up front (260mm) and in the rear (240mm). (Above) There is a lot to like about the Beta's meaty yet controllable 350cc two-stroke. (Below) The Beta RX 350 returns after its debut last year.
