Shop parts for a 2023 Beta 300 RX Dirt Bike.
The 2023 Beta 300 RX continues the big-bore motocross two-stroke platform with the mature, pre-update engine. This is the final year before the major cylinder redesign, making the 2023 RX the most refined version of the original 300cc motocross platform. The liquid-cooled two-stroke with electronic oil injection, power valve system, and six-speed close-ratio gearbox is paired with the chrome-moly steel frame, KYB 48mm fork with motocross-tuned valving, and Sachs rear shock. Years of development have produced a stable, predictable platform — validated torque specifications and well-understood maintenance requirements.
