Think about more than one year to Change the Brand , but it was Not an easy decision after 23 Years on KTM/Husquarna .
Know my 300 Husky in and out and she runs without any Problems the last 5 Years, but it’s Time for something New
Today arrive the new 2027 Beta RX 350 , will give a Feedback as soon as i can get on the Track
Worthy of a thumbs up👍 ride report please….
I'm thinking about doing a demo day next month so I can try the 350. I rode Beta 250 a few months ago and was blown away how quick it was. I've been considering trading my 250f for a 350 ever since. I'm excited to see how you like it after you get out on it!
Congratulations! It’s a work of art. I’m interested in hearing your feedback from being a KTM Husqvarna guy for so many years what you think of the Beta?
Looks great, I hope you love it. I’m on a 300SX and I’ve been considering the ‘27 RX350 now that it’s in n it’s second year of production

Congrats - I like the way you roll!
Looking forward to a ride report.
I wanna see more of those old КТМs in the backdrop
the ‘98/99 looked so badass to me as a kid
This will be my Next Rebuild Projekt it’s an 1998 380 SXS a Monster Engine
Short Testride out in the Woods , First of all it feels stronger right from the bottom than the 26 , Engine is very responsive like my Old KTM 360
And it’s light 🤩 it feels like a Mountainbike with an Engine , she is 4cm Higher than the Husky but while riding you did not even notice it
Give us a short so we can at least hear this beautiful machine
First of all i tested the 2026 350 Last year and did not really Like it ( short Shifted Engine, Rock Hard Suspension), but The Conditions on that Demo Day was bad.
Yesterday first time on the Track with the 2027 , and i was impressed , I can pull the gears longer than on the 26 , Suspension is softer but the Kayaba Fork works so good .
For the Engine I would rate it between my TC 300 and the Old KTM 360 .
The most impressive Part on that bike is the Weight it feels like a 125 but Sound similar to an Old CR 500
So nice! Detailed ride report please after you get several rides on it! Please compare to your former ride.
Short update on the New Beta.
Now around 7-8 Hours on it and it runs very good.
No really concern except loose Spokes and flat rear Tire , but I think they use the cheapest tubes the can get.
Upgraded it with a Full FMF Exhaust , not that i need more power but nothing Sounds better than an Old Style Powercore2 with a Fatty Pipe .
The FMF pulls the gears a Little longer from mid to top but lost a little down low .
Today i rode the Beta back to back with my Old 360 KTM, Engines are close to the same Displacement 352cc vs. 354cc
The Old 360 Engine beats the Beta in every way from bottom to top , but Chassis and Suspension , Brakes are Lightyears ahead on the Beta
Have you tired adjusting the power valve yet?
I’m really starting to become a fan of Beta but I miss the red and blue! This still looks good though. I’d love to give one a test ride.
For the Moment not i did not even find the time to set the Sag correctly, but the Power Valve Adjuster looks very similar to that what KTM have
I am happy with my 2025 300 RX, but did not like the rear suspension's lack of a rising rate on their linkage.. way too linear to be able to get both a plush ride and good bottoming resistance for MX. You could have one, but not both. Just recently, Beta started selling a much more progressive linkage knuckle to the public... It is a CNC knuckle from their factory team. I bought and rode it briefly, and it is a dramatic change.. much more progressive and will require a complete revalve of your compression shims because it will still be way too stiff even with the clickers maxed out. My shock is getting re-valved as we speak and looking forward to trying it out with the shock set up for the new knuckle. For most people, the stock length pullrod seems to work best, so no change in ride height.
Kind of wish I held out for the '27, but I am very very happy with my '26! Enjoy!
Did you change Something on the Suspension?
I think mine needs some more Hours to break in it feels harsh over Breaking bumps and flat landings .
For me its the First Kayaba in 28 Years MX , so i know nothing about KYB . What is the difference between Yamaha KYB and Beta KYB ?
I rode a 450 YZF on a Demo Day in June and was impressed from the Suspension
I had it reavalved and new springs and a different bladder in the shock by Race-Tech. I'm way outside of the limits of the stock suspension at 240lbs.
