FIRST-EVER BETA 250RXF🔴🔴👀 has officially entered the 250 four-stroke motocross market with their brand new 2027 250RXF model, just three years after introducing their 2024 450 four-stroke motocrosser.

The 250RXF engine is all-new from the ground up, featuring a dual-overhead cam with a box-in-box piston design. The engine was design and manufactured at Beta’s Florence, Italy, facility and it has dual fuel-injectors, an electric starter, five-speed transmission and a hydraulic clutch.

On the chassis side of things, the 250RXF comes with a frame designed to meet the specific needs of a 250F size and feel. Compared to the central engine connection solution used on its big brother model, the 250RXF design features side-mounted engine head mounts (similar to the other top OEMs). This helps increase torsional stiffness while maintaining greater vertical flexibility. Beta found this helps cornering precision and suspension performance, with significant benefits in traction and stability when compared to the setup they currently have on their 450RXF.

continues to tout its trademark RideAbility experience🗣️ “To create a motorcycle that is easier to ride than the competition by providing better power delivery as well as a chassis balance like no other. A Beta must be ridden to understand this feeling.”

Now with two four-stroke motocross models, plus their 250/350 two-stroke💨 motocross models, Beta (like Kawasaki) has added the “F” onto their name for 2027.

The Beta 2027 Beta 450RXF also recieved a few updates. It has new electronics with updated mapping, new traction control and quickshift features. Plus, it has a new tapered 42mm throttle body. said “This new component comes straight from the AMA Supercross team and the MXGP team in Europe. It increases air speed and volume to the motor, enhancing low- to mid-range power overall and delivering a quicker throttle response across the board.”

The two-strokes💨 have also been refined with a new piston in the 350RX that saves weight, reduces friction and increases horsepower by a claimed 1-5 horses. The 250RX has new gearing, both bikes have new silencers and Dunlop MX34 tires.

That was quite the ride by in the first moto of the 2026 Thunder Valley National.

For the first time since switched to a one-day format (besides the opener at Pala*), the series is hosting a practice day on Friday before the National.

This works out perfectly for the Coenen brothers who are used to the two-day MXGP format.

For the last 5+ years, has hosted a Press Day at the season opener for “all entered athletes,” but the rest of the nationals have been invite-only press days for top riders and some local privateers.

This year, because of the mile-high elevation🏔️ at Thunder Valley, Mx Sports is giving everyone a chance to test their bikes on the track before the transponders go on and things get serious for qualifying⏱️ tomorrow morning.

The 250 and 450 classes were separated into A and B groups today, and our test rider was able to snag some quick clips before he went out in the 450B group😎🎥

The only benefit to getting a bad start is missing the pile up😅

Also, we’re glad is ok after his big get off coming into turn five. He suffered a concussion and plans to be back for RedBud.

It’s always brutal when the crash isn’t your fault. And in this case, sitting out Thunder Valley and High Point will be his first races missed since jumping to the 450 class starting at outdoors in 2024, and his first National missed since he turned pro in 2017🤯

MXA’s won’t be at Thunder Valley this weekend, but we do have a fun video from Hangtown, live now on our website and YouTube, comparing a day in the life of a factory rider () and a privateer ().
