2026 Beta RR Race Off-Road Motorcycles First Look

Beta has released its off-road competition-focused dirt bikes for model year 2026 including the 125 RR Race, 200 RR Race, 250 RR Race, 300 RR Race, 350 RR Race, 390 RR Race, 430 RR Race, and 480 RR Race. All eight of them feature a new rear brake hose routing system and fresh graphics, and the two smallest-displacement models of the 125 RR Race and 200 RR Race have updated transmissions to provide smoother shifts and improve durability.

The next model up in displacement, the 250 RR Race boasts a completely redesigned engine with a crankshaft and cylinder now shared with the 300 RR Race. The Italian concern increased the quarter-liter model’s bore by 1mm and decreased stroke by 2.1mm, thereby keeping its 249cc displacement. Transfer port geometry of the cylinder was redesigned and there’s a new dedicated piston too. Cylinder head is also new with a combustion chamber that’s been entirely redesigned. Beta says these updates to the 250 RR Race’s powerplant result in significantly increased torque.

The 250 RR Race and 300 RR Race share updates including crankcases that house larger and stronger main bearings, and a longer-range second gear. The four-stroke quartet of the 350 RR Race, 390 RR Race, 430 RR Race, and 480 RR Race feature new engine maps.

All eight of the 2026 Beta RR Race models will be available next month (October 2025), and each of their suggested retail prices increase over last year—the 200 RR Race being upped the least at $491, while the 125 RR Race, 250 RR Race, 300 RR Race, and 350 RR Race have swelled by $891. The three largest-displacement thumpers experience the highest MSRP increases with the 390 RR Race at $991, 430 RR Race bumped by $1091, and 480 RR Race the most at $1191 over last year.
