Italian manufacturer Beta will again offer four 4-stroke RR models in the U.S. for 2024. Returning are the 350cc, 390cc, 430cc and 480cc RR models.
All four models receive an updated radiator design that is more durable and lighter, says Beta. This new shape at the top allows for more fork clearance which provides a greater turning radius.
Speaking of the forks, they have lighter internals that reduces friction to improve the overall feedback to the rider on choppy or rocky trials, says Beta.
They also all get a new front brake hose that is now crimped at the top and bottom, eliminating the outer sheath to slide down the line, and the seat is reshaped and has softer foam for more overall comfort.
All the four-stroke models have an “improved traction control system that provides the rider with better control in loose or muddy conditions.” Beta’s TC system works independently with the dual MAP ignition system, “which also gives riders more tuning options.”
They also have a redesigned rear airbox boot.
The bike will be available in September.
Pricing: 350 RR $10, 499, 430 RR $10,699, 480 RR $10,799.
