Upstate Cycle

All of us here at Upstate Cycle had a treat today, as our good friends Jennifer and Todd, from the beautiful mountains of North Carolina popped in to our shop in order for Jennifer to get a very special Christmas present to remember! The "2026" Beta 300 Race Edition! Talk about a present to remember? Yep, that should do it! Very sweet! Especially with all the updates to the motor and external apperance for 2026!
Jennifer and Todd are definitely not strangers to this great sport. Todd has been racing forever, and is currently enjoying the competition on board his 300 Race Edition. Jennifer was riding a very sweet Beta X/Trainer 300 when the two happen to meet on Facebook. Before you knew it, she started lending support to Todd when he raced.
But it wasnt long after that when they both decided to start racing the Virginia and N.C. series together around 2020!
Congrats Jennifer! This is one seriously cool set of wheels! You go girl! Enjoy that "2026" Beta 300 Race Edition, if you're able to pry Todd's hands off the handlebars! Its great to see you both still with the team! We will see ya on the trail!

Upstate Cycle had another beautiful Sunday to hit the highway, in order to meet our new customer Landy, from the Raleigh, N.C. area. He took possession of this beautiful "2026" Beta Alp 4.0 machine! This particular Beta 4.0 is not to be confused with the Beta Alp X. Both models are similar, but the biggest difference is the wheel sizes between the two models. The Alp X uses 17" and 19" wheels, with tires a little better suited for on-road riding, while still maintaining some off-road capability, while the Alp 4.0 is equipped with 18" and 21" wheels and tires, more focused on off-road riding. Landy has explored both models and decided the Alp 4.0 was the one for him.
Landy hopped on his first bike at 5 years old on a Honda 50, among others. And then at about 21 years old, he got into street machines, and moved into road racing. And then between 2013-2017, he started his own motorcycle dealership. He gradually pulled away from running his own shop, to just wrenching on motorcycles, which he really enjoys! But now days, he's back in the saddle again, enjoying the street and dirt to no end! And this Beta should work out perfectly! Thanks Landy! Enjoy that bike! Welcome to the team and we will see ya on the trail!
