Beta is well known for making high quality offroad 2 stroke dirt bikes. Hell, they make high-quality 4 strokes as well. One thing that Beta is not known for in the dirt bike world is motocross dirt bikes.
Not because Beta cannot make a good motocross dirt bike they just never have built one….
Until now…..The all-new
2021 Beta RX 300 2 Stroke
There isn’t a ton of information but you can reserve yours on Beta Motorcycle’s website .
It’s awesome to see more dirt bike manufacturers taking risks and build new dirt bikes for different niches. While I am mostly an offroad dirt bike rider I still get excited to see new dirt bikes. Especially 2 strokes.

The big question is this the beginning of Beta trying their hand at the Motocross world? Will we see other 2021 Beta RX motocross models be released this year?
Will they sponsor a factory Beta Supercross and Beta Motocross team?
I hope so. It will be fun to see what they come up with. I have always respected Beta and their ownership and what the build for the dirt bike community.
