About a month ago I went out on a whim and found a 2026 BETA 350RX within a 4 hour drive. I’ve been wanting a second bike and it be a 2-stroke. I don’t have a good handle on the bike yet as Mother Nature keeps raining on all scheduled open rides. So, I’ll just race the local Pro-Am this weekend and report back on how bad I got my ass kicked. 😂 I did the suspension through Race-Tech, full FMF exhaust, carb rejet, and a Rekluse clutch. 🤘
Wow!
You’ve got this…
Just ride it out and don’t pull the ripcord.
💪🏼🇺🇸
I wish I had a whole bunch of burner accounts so that I could give this 50+ thumbs up….!
Very nice! Love the look of those Betas. Enjoy!

Make sure you get the Acerbis frame guards, you'll thank me later. The stockers have less than zero grip.
Those blue rims are sexy
Enjoy yourself! Brappppp
Rekluse clutch on a 2-stroke? Educate me on need for that.
Insert a Homer Simpson drool meme here...
Damn dude..... That is perfect. Congrats to you!
Sexy
Love it.
Probably not as much as you though 😉
More pictures please. Things sweet.
Top notch! Beautiful bike - congrats!
I don't know if they make them for the RX, but I would also consider the R-Tech frame guards too. cpd-usa.com is a US distributor.
I noticed less grip, but I'm almost certain Beta uses Acerbis? The Acerbis 'A' logo was on the fork guards. But yes, they are not as grippy as the ones on my KTM.
I can this weekend. 👍
I'm sure they do make the stockers, but they really are terrible. Plus the real Acerbis guards look so much better. Oh, and highly recommend Raptor pegs. Game changer for me anyways...
🤗 dead sexy!
Pit Row
I;ll get on this for sure. I need different pegs. Those look nice and sharp.
Not really a need for it, but it will make you feel like a hero dragging the rear brake into corners and powering out. Such a smooth transition, no risk of stalling, and can be on the brake and throttle at the same time. All without touching the clutch lever.
OP didn't specify but Rekluse makes manual clutches as well and they help to transfer more power to the rear wheel. Look up reviews on the TorqDrive clutch. I'm wanting to get one for my bike
I grew up on peaky non-reed valve 2-strokes of all flavors in early 1970's and we naturally were clutch heave to build RPMS and keep in power band to keep momentum. I never heard of dragging brake and powering out WITHOUT the clutch on a 2 -stroke lol. Always room to learn in this sport.
cool didn't know that. I have a buddy who likes technical hill climbs and single track that surprised me buying a 2T KTM with the rekluse and said it was a game changer for keeping momentum on tough uphill sections and similar.
Correct, I should have specified. I do have an auto in my KTM 350. I like it but wanted to stick with a true manual for the 2-stroke. I’ve been using rekluse in everything since about 2012. Great product and their customer service/tech help is top notch!
Sweet bike…. I see many think they want an open 2 stroke and then…” for sale at 4 hrs” give it some time, I think about 10hrs without going back to your 4T…..to get your 2T chops back…..I ride both a 350 and a 300 2T…its much easier to ride the 350 for longer periods of time….If I can do 20 minute moto on my 300…I can do 30 minutes on my 350 …..I mainly use my 300 for my sand woods/ moto track….gets on top of sand better ImO…
My buddy swears by the TorqDrive set up. I'm looking for more power on my 250 and it's on the list of things I plan on getting. I'm excited about trying it
This 350 smoker really intrigues me .
Interesting thing about a Beta is you never hear any horror stories about them! Stone reliable.
Do you run clear vinyl under them to protect the frame? I had a set on my woods bike (CRF450RX) and they rubbed on the frame. Took some work to get that all cleaned up. I'd imagine it's worse with the aluminum frame, but eventually they'll wear through the paint. In hindsight, I should have put some clear vinyl under them to protect against rubbing, especially when mud or sand gets behind them
Guys I know seem to have electrical gremlins.
I use some single sided thin foam tape behind mine to help with the frame rub on my KTM 350 SXF, it’s cheap on amazon for a whole roll.
