The factory Beta team has unveiled its 450 MXGP bikes that will make their debut in the opening Italian championship round at Riola Sardo in Sardinia on Sunday.

The team of Jeremy Van Horebeek and Jimmy Clochet are the Italian factory’s first ever MXGP squad. Like KTM, Husqvarna and GasGas, the bike has a steel frame rather than an aluminium frame like the Japanese machines. There is a fuel injected twin-cam motor and KYB factory suspension front and rear.
