2025 450 RC Off-Road Racer Model Introduction
Beta USA is proud to announce an additional 2025 model to their impressive line-up, the 450 RC. The 2025 450 RC is a model that we have received many emails from customers asking us to build. Based on the success of the 450 RX Motocross model, the 450 RC shares the same proven and durable platform with additional features added to make the bike a serious off-road race weapon.
The electric start, 5-speed engine provides the power delivery perfect for all-around use, designed for riders who race in the woods on the weekends and hit the moto track during the week, the 450 RC is really a do-all four-stroke model. Equipped with an 18" rear wheel, larger fuel tank, handguards, Race model tank panels, formed plastic skid plate, and an o-ring chain to complete the package.
Rideability: Those who have had the opportunity to ride a Beta know what the term Rideability is all about. The combination of power, balance, and overall feeling while riding can only be found on a Beta motorcycle.
