Following a successful debut last year, Beta’s RR X-PRO range returns for MY26 with a mix of subtle but meaningful updates across the board. The X-PRO platform, introduced as a more versatile and confidence-inspiring option alongside the brand’s hardcore Race Editions, quickly found favour with a wide range of riders. For 2026, Beta’s doubled down on that formula—refining the chassis, tweaking the engines, and adding some thoughtful touches that improve both performance and durability without losing the easy-to-ride feel that made the X-PRO so popular in the first place.
Whether you’re chasing podiums or just looking for a solid, well-sorted trailbike straight from the showroom floor, the RR X-PRO range continues to carve out a strong space in the enduro market.
WHAT IS THE X-PRO RANGE?
The RR X-PRO models are essentially a middle ground between Beta’s standard RR range and the full-blown Race Editions. They’re designed for riders who want performance and handling that’s race-capable, but without the ultra-firm suspension and sharper-edged feel of the more competition-focused models.
With a lower seat height, forgiving but responsive suspension, and a strong set of standard features, the X-PRO line has quickly become a go-to for riders who mix trail and enduro, or those who want a bike that can handle a bit of everything without needing a long setup list.
For 2026, the range comprises eight models: four 2-strokes (125, 200, 250 and 300cc) and four 4-strokes (350, 390, 430 and 480cc). Here’s what’s new across the range—and what sets each model apart.
MY26 UPDATES: WHAT’S NEW?
Frame
All X-PRO models continue with the updated frame introduced in 2025. It features a beefed-up main spar section for added rigidity, which helps keep the bike planted and predictable at speed. The revised structure improves torsional strength without upsetting the chassis balance Beta is known for.
The extra stiffness also adds precision in cornering and under braking, which is especially noticeable in technical terrain where rider input needs to be consistent and controlled.
Suspension
The revised ZF suspension package introduced last year carries through, and that’s a good thing. It includes a 930mm seat height (20mm lower than Beta’s Race Editions), giving most riders a more comfortable and confident footing without sacrificing ground clearance or ride performance.
The standout remains the SHC fork—Beta’s Single Hydraulic Chamber design. It separates spring and damping functions between fork legs to optimise oil flow and reduce weight (by about 250g). For 2026, the internal spring guide and stanchions have been further refined to reduce pressure spikes and improve consistency over choppy ground. The result is a fork that offers a more predictable, linear response with less harshness.
Swingarm & Rear Axle
A small but effective change—Beta has bumped the rear axle diameter from 20mm to 22mm, adding stiffness and improving rear-end stability under load. It’s a worthwhile tweak for aggressive riders who want better drive and control in rough sections.
Vibration & Ergonomics
The Xtrig FlexFix mounting system, which includes a built-in anti-vibration block, has an upgraded handlebar feel. It soaks up trail buzz and reduces rider fatigue over longer stints. Riders can also tune the feel further with optional softer inserts.
Also new is a Beta-branded front tow strap, mounted up front for easy access in Hard Enduro-style situations where a helping hand might be needed.
Brakes, Cooling & Electronics
The front end gets a new Nissin brake calliper—lighter, smaller and with improved feel over the previous unit. It’s similar to the setup seen on the RX 450 and offers better modulation for more precise braking.
Cooling has also been improved thanks to reinforced radiators designed to withstand impact without deforming. The coolant expansion tank remains integrated into the frame, helping manage engine temperatures under sustained stress.
All four-stroke models now run a lighter, high-performance battery, which improves cold starts and reliability in racing and recreational conditions.
2-STROKE LINEUP
RR 125 X-PRO
The lightest and most agile of the bunch, the 125 gets engine and gearbox upgrades for 2026. A new piston, revised head and updated combustion chamber boost torque and power across the midrange. Reinforced gearbox internals handle the added output and improve shift precision.
RR 200 X-PRO
Built on the 125 chassis, but with more grunt thanks to oil injection and a torquey engine tune. A great option for riders who want a nimble feel but a bit more pull through the gears. It also gets the upgraded gearbox found on the 125.
RR 250 X-PRO
This one sees the most dramatic changes for MY26. A new crankshaft setup with an increased bore and reduced stroke brings its performance closer to the 300 while retaining the 250’s snappy feel. Revised porting, a new cylinder head and updated crankcases with larger bearings all contribute to smoother power delivery and a lower centre of gravity. Gearbox ratios have also been reworked for better second-to-third transitions—especially useful in techy terrain.
RR 300 X-PRO
The top dog in the 2-stroke line-up, the 300 remains a favourite for riders who like strong bottom-end torque and a classic big-bore feel. It shares the transmission and bearing upgrades with the 250, improving durability and feel.
4-STROKE LINEUP
RR 350 X-PRO
High-revving and light on its feet, the 350 is perfect for riders who want a manageable 4T that’s quick and responsive. Reduced rotating mass keeps it agile and fun to ride, especially in tight singletrack.
RR 390 X-PRO
Arguably the sweet spot in the 4T range, the 390 balances handling and traction with a more torquey midrange than the 350. It’s forgiving but fast, and suited to a wide range of conditions.
RR 430 X-PRO
Punchier than the 390, with more aggressive top-end pull. It’s still manageable, but built for riders who want to open it up and push the pace.
RR 480 X-PRO
The biggest and brawniest of the bunch, the 480 is best suited to open terrain and experienced riders. Its character is similar to the 430, just with more torque and top-end.
All four-stroke engines receive revised ECU mapping for 2026. The updated tuning delivers smoother throttle response and improved power linearity across the rev range, making the bikes easier to ride in all conditions.

AVAILABILITY & PRICING
The MY26 Beta RR X-PRO range is expected to arrive in Australian dealerships around September 2025, with pricing to be confirmed closer to the release date.
FINAL WORD
The X-PRO range doesn’t just slot in between Beta’s standard RR and Race Edition models—it fills a gap in the market for riders who want performance and race-bred handling, but with more comfort and usability. With MY26, Beta hasn’t gone overboard with changes, but the updates it has made speak directly to what riders value—better control, improved durability and a more refined ride.
If you’re after a bike that can handle the rough stuff while keeping things manageable, the new RR X-PRO lineup is well worth a look.
