#motocross #racing #motorcycle #interview
The Liqui Moly Beta Factory Racing team is ready for their Supercross debut this weekend at the 2024 Anaheim 1 Supercross with Benny Bloss on the number 67 Beta 450RX and John Short on the number 199 Beta 450RX. Unfortunately, the team's star rider, Colt Nichols, is unable to make the debut due to a recent shoulder injury. MXA's Josh Mosiman caught up with his longtime friend, Carlen Gardner, to learn about the new team heading into A1.

these bikes are amazing looking and totally dig the Fiji partnership. glad to see them differentiating themselves like this! way to go Beta!
This Beta is a beautiful bike! It’s refreshing to see a new bike without a green M on the shrouds.

Might of just pointed out one of the reasons there aren't getting much attention. And look the beta team is sponsored by a drink athletes would actually drink
Good luck, Beta!! Avoiding the toxic energy drinks is a great move!
Good luck Beta. Nice to see a bike not plastered in crappy energy drink sponsors
Good luck to the team!! So awesome to have another new team/factory in the sport. Bummer on Colt, didn't know that.
Love the looks of the bike. Nothing against their 2 riders but I do think they should have looked at Masterpool. But for some reason not one factory team will touch him. I sure would like to know. I've heard it's his parents are the problem. I wish Beta luck.

@@ClintEwingFreestyle Well look how they did this weekend. I would have took my chances with Masterpool and Colt but ty is hurt. Benny completely sucked Saturday.
This is the best looking MX bike on the market right now by FAR
This is a great video. Good luck to beta , love this guy , no idea who he was until this video. But he seems like he truly deserves loads of success and I wish that for him & his team !
Welcome to the series Beta. Great bikes and looking forward to seeing the off-road successes brought to the SMX series. Props to Fiji water for sponsorship.

I'm curious who owns the company, who the parent company is, and how they got into factory racing. If anyone knows, lemme know.

Fiji water or Beta? I don't know anything about Fiji Water but Beta is a family owned business. It's not publicly traded. No parent company. The great grandson of the man that started the business 119 years ago is the CEO today. No other Motorcycle Brand has their heritage. They do things very different than the Mass produced brands. I'm excited to see them pursue this segment of the industry. @@Tormentality
Guess I’m getting a bottle of Fiji today! Bikes look sick as well!
Awesome story from Carlen, Paying it forward to those who helped him in his beginnings
They got a Fiji partnship… Siiiiick Props for not going the usual energy drink route
Bummed for Colt, was stoked to see him on the team. Luckily I’m a Bloss fan as well✊🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Guess I’ll be buying Fiji water from now on. Gotta do my part 🤣
Italians always make beautiful machines. Good luck 🍀
Awesome interview! Good luck to the Beta team
Gooo Beta! Look forward to seeing the bikes on the track!
Would love to see that team do well. Not a Beta guy myself but I respect the effort to try to break into that scene. That’s a feel good story right there
Great story! Really cool to see such a young guy, and former race take on a project of that magnitude.
great to have Beta.... best of luck to Benny and John !
There going to struggle making main events this year. Going to be a lot of LCQ’s unfortunately, tough year to make your debut but best of luck. Very nice to see another brand enter mx/sx in the states 👍🇺🇸 it’s more factory help for the riders and better for the sport to continue growing. Hats off to Beta 🇺🇸 🇮🇹 🤘
I'm going to buy one the look bad ass

they ride good too. their off road team in worcs and ngpc is kicking ass
Nice beta mx bike its nice to get new bikes on track thanks motocross action magazine 😊
awesome backstory. I'm a Beta fan now. Good luck Carlon. I know you can take it to the next level bro!! i'll stop y and say hi at Foxboro ❤️🇺🇸
The bikes look sick! And with the US development, they are only going to get better! Cool to see all the new manufacturers coming into the sport. Great for everyone, more factory rides for the riders, more competition for the other manufacturers to step their game up, more money for the greater dirk bike community through sales! Good for the sport.
Awesome Beta!! I ride a 2022 350RR and it rips!! Many Blessings!!
Great project great interview
Go get ‘em Beta💪
Great Attitude! Go Beta!
Nice story Thanks for sharing Good luck for the season
Things Bad Ass Beta has been around forever
Coolest bike in the pits right now:-) Hope the get some top-tier guys soon.
Good luck this SX season & OD!! Bike looks tight!
Awesome looking bike.
Love the way Feld welcomed them to supercross like they did triumph, ohhhhhh wait they weren't even in the press comfrence, I'll bet when Ducati comes in they kiss their ass , money talks

I was going to say the exact same thing. Brutal eh, so disrespectful but typical.
They look good 👍
Hopefully they do well! Sports going to be better with them in it
Very cool new team !
Let it Rip Factory Beta !
Great bikes ! I love my Beta 200RR 2 stroke
Carlen is a good dude. All best for him and Beta team.
The bikes look great, dare i say different even.
I`ll be waiting for a great magazine write up about Beta`s development.
Yes i would have loved to have a rider in the presscon. yesterday
So sick!!!!! Love it.
Haha that's awesome that FIJI is a sponsor!
Amazing Bikes! Get em boys!!!
Time to go sell some betas! Lets goooo!!! 💪🏻🤙🏻🏁🏆
Shane Bess was testing with beta a wile back. they look pretty good too me.
I have a 2021 beta and a 2022 beta and another one might be coming Love beta !!!!
My next "new" bike will be a Beta; and it helps I have a dealer close by ;)
Taking a shot at the energy drinks. I'm ok with that.
lets go beta!!
Awesome for Beta....great bikes in offroad, affordable and always hear the motors are incredible....racing SX is differrnt animal but this is how KTM started.... Triumph, Ducati and Beta now.....cool to see......give em all few years, doesn't happen overnight Fiji water is best bottled water imo.....actually been to that country, lol
Where is masterpool tho , i was looking forward to seeing him race again this season 💯
Maybe the energy drink Cred will step up to sponsor. 😂 Hope they do well. Been riding a Beta for years and love the brand.
Awesomeness
Anyone else notice a HUGE deal was made about Triumph on TV but Beta got basically nothing
I can't believe how Loki beta really is I've been wanting to buy one for some time now cuz they offer so many dual sports that are street legal are all but street legal you can even get the two strokes set up for oil injected and fuel injected 2strokes and they have been making 2 strokes for quite some time now. I think one of the most overlooked aspects is that the bikes come pretty tricked put from the door and they even offer basically the full fledged competitive versions that are completely tricked out for the most part. Then you can get an electric start 2 or 4 stroke withkick start as well. They offer quite a variety of engine options configuration setups and bike layout concepts. I have wanithe 3002 stroke or i believe 500 something 4stroke street legal setup
I wish them well and hope they are able to attract enough sponsors and top riders in the future to justify the investment. People forget KTM was kind of a joke for many years, an oddball Euro bike usually near the back. They seem to have overcame their humble beginnings though. Beta reminds me more of when Husaberg and ATK raced outdoors. Interesting but more of a curiosity than contender.
Well I am for sure buying Fiji water for now on!! That’s bad ass!! Thank you so much Fuji!!!!
Fiji water is hands down theee best water..#figigang

Are the X-Trig clamps available to buy for the 450RX, I’d love a set for mine??❤
Beta makes great engines. The KTM 50 cc minis had beta engines
Es una pena que no vemos la moto
The Beta’s stopped me in my tracks when I walked into Hall’s Cycles last year. Bitchin’ color scheme!
And where can I watch full race of Anaheim?

should have shown more of the bike
Best looking bike in the pits.
I have so many questions... who is the parent company? what caused them to get involved in factory racing? are they making money? why isn't the industry celebrating a new factory team? What's the politics behind this brand? Why doesn't the series promote the new team like they do other teams?
Make a 300 something cc in mx trim stat!
I dident know shoenice had a job!
Beta is better than Triumph
I love this team more than ktm
What happened to that bike on A1 my guy
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻😎
I call it now, writhing 5 years all bike manufacturers will have flat seats just like this Beta. It only makes sense since these dudes only sit to turn and seat bounce

I always thought of making the cockpit one continuous pommel horse. Maybe it's been tried. Maybe it looks stupid, so they won't do it. Maybe it would work really well.
Only team that dnf A1

HOW COOL WOULD IT BE.......if this carlen dude was like clark kent and in a pinch puts on a helmet and show them boys how its done ....like superman......like off the bench secret ripper been training under the radar and shit....nah he looks too soft ....
Don't gang up on the Aussies Yanks
Beta gets smoked
They are not really factory they are barely getting help from the factory it’s all based on the importer.
LIQUI MOLY Not liquid moly. It's not difficult. If we want these sponsorts to stick around, the least we can do is pronounce them correctly.
We know your shit plan.
Is that bike 💩 or we gonna see if it’s 💩 or not .

Criticism always comes from below.....teenager or some dude who never amounted to the same pile he projects.....either way.... You only project what or where you are.....
They have their own unique race color to differentiate from the usual red/blue color to really standout from the crowd; maybe tan/khaki color would be a nice try hehehehe
