2022 Beta 300 RX Dirt Bike Torque Specs
Shop parts for a 2022 Beta 300 RX Dirt Bike.
The 2022 Beta 300 RX refines the big-bore motocross two-stroke with detail updates for the model year. The 300cc liquid-cooled engine with electronic oil injection, power valve system, and six-speed close-ratio gearbox pairs with the chrome-moly steel frame, KYB 48mm fork with motocross-tuned valving, and Sachs rear shock. The close-ratio gearbox keeps the 300’s massive torque accessible through the tight RPM windows motocross corners demand. Compared to the enduro gearbox, the closer ratios mean more frequent shifting and more aggressive clutch engagement — increasing wear on the clutch assembly and loading on the transmission drain and clutch hub hardware.

Dry vs. Wet Torque
Dry torque is the standard. Motocross track conditions are typically cleaner than off-road, but assembly compound on the 300’s head nuts requires the standard 15–20% reduction.
Close-Ratio Gearbox & Clutch Loading
The 300 RX’s close-ratio gearbox keeps the 300 in its peak power band through tight motocross corners. Aggressive downshifting and rapid clutch engagement load the transmission and clutch assembly harder than the wider-ratio enduro gearbox. The clutch hub nut at 65 Nm and transmission drain plug at 15 Nm should be verified after each race day. The 300’s maximum torque through a close-ratio box creates the highest drivetrain loading in Beta’s motocross range.
