A NEW 350 ON THE WAY
A NEW 350 ON THE WAY
Did you hear about the new 350 two-stroke that’ s coming? Well, Beta recently announced the expansion of its RX motocross lineup with the launch of the all-new RX350 2T, a purposebuilt two-stroke machine set to arrive as part of the 2026 model range. Breaking away from traditional displacement boundaries, the RX350 is set to give riders a huge punch of a two-stroke power, with claimed tractability traits of a four-stroke engine. At the heart of the RX350 is a completely new 350cc two-stroke engine, designed for high-performance riding, tuned to offer explosive yet manageable power delivery, and ideal for a wide range of riders from weekend warriors to serious competitors. The 2026 RX range will also include a brandnew RX250 2T model and an updated RX 450, showing that Beta are clearly committed to that moto life. Riders looking for traditional two-stroke in the 250 class should be excited about the new RX250 and the RX450, its flagship four-stroke motocross bike, also sees key updates for 2026, including a newly designed cylinder head, revised piston and intake manifold and new exhaust system to enhance throttle response and engine efficiency.
RX350 2T Key Features Include:
• Dual-Spark cylinder head for smoother, more efficient combustion across the rev range.
• Motocross-specific power-valve system, custom-developed for strong, predictable power delivery.
• Optimised crankshaft and piston configuration to balance performance and control.
