Is This Beta, Betta?
I can admit I am not a huge two-stroke fanatic like some others, but I usually get more motivated when they are built into something instead of just bone stock machines. Introduced in 2021, the 300 RX is the Italian brand’s dedicated motocross model. The 293cc displacement two-stroke engine is one of the biggest draws of the 300 RX. Beefier than standard 250cc powerplants, 300s have a cult like following that transcends generations of riders, but that doesn’t mean we can’t use more ponies in the engine department, right? We called upon Teddy Boyko of Boyko Racing to help us create a unique Beta 300 RX with a little more power, and the final product came out incredible.
We are deeply rooted in Moto—We’ve been here all our lives. Back in 1998 when we turned an underground newspaper into a shiny color magazine, it immediately changed the game with its unprecedented depth of coverage, sense of humor, and access to the sport’s biggest names. Today, our readers know they can go to Racer X Online for all the news, race results, and event coverage they need, and then enjoy even more detail and perspective in the pages of Racer X Illustrated. The mag offers a chance to learn something new on every page and stay connected with the people and personalities that shape our sport—the competitors out on the racetrack, as well as the ones behind the scenes—through our exclusive deep-dive stories and columns.
Our trademark has always been insider knowledge from the experts who are at the races and around the sport. We have long prided ourselves on our unparalleled race reporting and detailed storytelling. We go deep with the riders and teams to provide comprehensive coverage you won’t find anywhere else—all with first-class photography and design. It’s a full education in motocross past, present, and future.
