I go over what I have had to replace after thirty hours on the 2024 Beta 450 RX. I am a 210 lb vet pro/ local pro. If its going to break, most likely I will be able to do it.
After nearly 20 years on KTM I’ll second this review, I’ve had a 24 and now the 25 rx450, zero issues so far🤞Superb bike. Only issue is the UK distributor is very slow getting replacement parts such as spare seat, graphics, bar clamps etc…my dealer is great though, superb service from them 👏👏
@@simonsteadman3276 yeah, I didn't expect the durability to be this good. I wasn't planning on doing a 30 hour review, but my wife pointed out that I haven't been spending any money on dirtbike parts 😂
@ I've had the rekluse several times and love the auto clutch. I'm just trying to use the standard ones so I can learn to ride the right way by the time I'm 70 😜. I still use reckluses torque drive packs
Ripping man. It sounds like you ride tomac style on the clutch - he does pretty well with it lol. Have you ever ridden a newish 2023+ ktm350sxf? thoughts? I'm thinking one more season on my 17 yz250f then upgrading. I'm looking for something with a little more pull and longer gears. I'm quite a bit lighter(160) and taller. I think a 450 would be a bit much for me at this point. My son can use the yzf to get used to the 250f as he will be coming off the super mini soon. I think if ktm goes under then I will re-evaluate lol.
@@JimG1964 it's been years of me trying to focus on getting off the clutch. I do a lot of no clutch motos. I went and rode a supercross track the other day and my poor clutch got abused so bad! 🙈 I have done hours, and hours of no clutch motos, but some old habits die hard when the gate drops. The 350 is an awesome bike. If I was 30lbs lighter I would have probably got one in the past. I've ridden one in the past and I loved it.
@@180mxtraining7 Thanks. I know everyone says not to use the clutch but I suspect a lot of high level riders use it in different scenarios and sections. I watched the Tomac interview and he talks about it a bit. Lots of new bikes in the market!
@ I think it's something that can be easily abused and make you slower, but there are situations where it really can benefit you. That's why I like to teach people to ride without it, then when they learn that, they can start to experiment where it's beneficial.

Why don't you get an automatic clutch

Waiting for the 200 hour review.
@@yamagrow420 🤣 I think the longest I've ever kept a bike was 120 hours

Tell us about the triple clamps?
I did a video on them about a month ago. You can find it on my channels page.
