Beta Unveils Its Updated Motocross Range. And There's a New Four-Stroke

Once a lesser-known Italian motorcycle manufacturer, Beta has been making waves in the off-road world for the past ten years. The company’s low-slung, lightweight Xtrainer has been a major success, providing riders with a smaller stature the perfect weapon for weekend single-track rides. They also joined the ranks of AMA Supercross with the Liqui Moly Beta Factory Racing team and hired Benny Bloss and Mitchell Oldenburg to pilot a pair of Beta 450 RX motorcycles.

Now, the Rignano sull'Arno- based factory is expanding its motocross lineup with the introduction of the Beta 250 RXF, an all-new platform powered by a dual overhead cam four-stroke motor with a “piston design that came straight from F1 technology,” according to Beta.
