They are awesome looking bikes. Curious what the otd price was? Maybe I’ll give them a call.

Not to be a broken record, but the front fender needs to tilt down in the front just a hair. Two washers
YES!!!! Did you get your picture with Jared? 🤣
How tall are you? That bike looks HUGE next to you.
I’m 5’11”.
Those gold rims have that Beta giving off 1980s CR vibes - very nice!!!
really like how low the tank sits on these bikes. notice the difference, when you compare the height of the tank vs the steering stem/top clamp. this gives you a real flat and straight seat. the newer TMs from 2022 onwards and the 17-21 Honda chassis have this as well.
Got it out today at a local track, definitely can’t lug it like most 450s. It is angry off the bottom though. So far so good!
Go up one tooth on the rear and go to the 2nd quickest throttle cam. I lug mine in third all the time and it pulls just fine.
Did Jared update the mapping to the '25 specs?
He did!
I know it's the whole MXA thing, but seriously, one tooth up and the '25 mapping made it much better.
Oh, and check all the engine mounting bolts, especially the bottom one. I went through one at a time and locktite'd them and re-torqued, been fine since.
How can you guys ride the newer bikes ? The seats are soo thin . And you ride wayy on top of the bike . I mostly stand but that separation feeling of the new bikes is Very odd. For newer bikes I would hv to go with a 19 old style yz125. I really don’t like the feel of the newer yz or any new bike for that matter. I hv enough 04 cr125,s to last a life time, so I,m set there.
Nice bike!
Here is what it looks like with '25 plastics and '24 graphics. The white side panels and air box cover blend the white backgrounds instead of the red plastic breaking it up and looking clunky. Those aren't bubbles, just weird reflections. 😆
Pit Row
Welp, now Beta is cemented at the top of my list when I do get to get another bike 🙂
Sorry to hack this thread, but i cant help myself.
Imagine if he had been great and made it to the podium at National events. Now imagine RC interviewing him. 😵💫😵💫😵💫
Um, if who had been great?
How do you like those clamps? What bar bend are you running?
Where did you find a mount to move the map switch?
So is this new 450RX built off the same frames as their other 4 stroke off-road bikes? I know the 2025s they mentions that the other displacement bikes share the same new crankcases as the new 450RX.
Also noticed the 450RC on their site is like a XCF version of the RX and this in a 350 or 250 would be high on my list of next bikes.
It's a little c-clamp that came in the accessory bag containing the throttle cams and other loose stuff. Every bike should have come with it from what I know.
I don't think I got the bracket. I think that I would like to move it to the bars though.
Pro Taper SX Race bend.
The clamps made, to me, a big difference on cornering, comfort and stability. The stock clamps had a harshness to them I thought was just the suspension until I got the Luxon's. The Luxon clamps were the only thing I changed from the previous trip to the same track, and pretty much the same conditions, and the bike just felt much more planted under heavy braking, through rutted corners it didn't feel like it wanted to wander and climb out, just went where I wanted it to go. Flatter/dry corners it still has a bit of zone two vagueness that needs to be worked on, but nothing bad and probably more my lack of talent.
I cannot stress enough how much the 20mm offset did for cornering. I'm running the forks flush and 102mm of sag. I'm far from a professional tester, but I am sensitive to things on a bike and @Luxon MX knocked it out of the park with these Gen 3 Pro's. IMHO they are the best upgrade available other than getting the suspension done.
If I get a chance today I'll pull it off and take pics. Seems like something that should be easy to find. I didn't see it on Beta's parts support page though.
That’s enough to sell me. Thanks.
