Beta Announces 2024 SuperMotocross Team
Cycle News Staff | December 15, 2023
The Liqui Moly Beta Factory Supercross Team officially announced their rider roster for the 2024 SuperMotocross racing season. Colt Nichols and Benny Bloss highlight the team in their first year of professional Supercross and Motocross racing here in the US as they pilot the all-new Beta 450 RX.
This is also the first time we’ve seen the team’s official look. Acerbis plastics, Mika handlebars, FMF exhaust systems, and Seat Concepts seats look to be factory sponsors for the Beta outfit. Also note no energy drink sponsor, rather the Fiji Water logo on the shroud and jerseys. As for the riders, Bloss is wearing an Arai helmet, FXR gear and Alpinestar boots while Nichols is sporting an HJC lid, Scott goggles, and Oneal gear.
Benny Bloss (67) and Colt Nichols (45) are Beta’s new riders for 2024.
The Liqui Moly Beta Factory Supercross Team is ready for its first season competing in the Monster Energy AMA Supercross. Beta has carved its name in the off-road motorcycle landscape for over a century with its innovative, stylish, and rider-centric enduro, trials, and dual sport models. Beta’s entry into Supercross marks an exciting new chapter in its storied history.

Both riders will race the 450 class.
Colt Nichols turned pro in 2015 as well. He finished third place in the 250SX West in 2019, and in 2021 Nichols won the 250SX East Championship. He has four career wins in Supercross and was the 450SX Rookie of the Year in the 2023 season. Colt looks to build on the momentum from last season heading into this year.
Nichols earned the 2023 450SX Rookie of the Year.
“I’m happy with the progress we’ve made leading up to the start of the season and we are just getting started. We’ve already learned so much through this process and we will continue to improve and develop this team into a force in Supercross. It is an exciting time for the sport and for Beta Motorcycles. I can’t wait to get the season to get underway.” said Carlen Gardner, Supercross Race Team Manager.
