The RR line inspired by the world of competitions
Beta RR Racing models are developed directly on the race track. These
exclusive models arrive shortly after the launch of the new 2016 standard
edition range.
Besides benefiting from certain new features already present on the
standard RR models, the new “Racing” version of Beta’s RR presents
innovations in terms of chassis, electronics, and also added features for
race use. RR Race editions will be available, from November, in 250 – 300
2T and 350 – 430 – 480 4T engine sizes.
Chassis
The RR Racing versions include a high-end suspension package that includes:
- A new Sachs fork with a closed cartridge. This fork is the result of a
long collaboration between Beta and Sachs, German know-how and Italian
experience in the off-road sector. Several tests, including on-track data
acquisition, computer simulations and laboratory tests, have allowed this
top performance fork to be developed. The large volume of the internal
closed cartridge allows for consistent and stable action as the operating
temperatures and conditions change. This, along with the fork spring
provides stable front end feel without the side effects of an all-air fork.
All oil circuits have been carefully designed to eliminate any turbulence or
cavitation and to provide more precise braking control during the rebound
and compression stroke. The new fork is also fitted with low-friction fork
seals to improve the smoothness while still providing excellent protection
and sealing.
- The rear shock has been re-valved for racing situations applications to
improve feel and stability under extreme conditions.
Electronics
New electronics distinguish the RR Racing from the rest of the range:
- A control unit with dual mapping and a switch on the handlebar allows
riders to quickly change from a “soft” setting, which provides better
traction on slippery terrain, to a “hard” setting, which allows for the
best performance in premium riding conditions.
Premix
Pure race bike needs premix to save weight:
- Unlike the standard RR models, all 2T RR Race Editions require pre-mixing
for the oil and gas. Serious racers demand the lightest machines thus the
Beta engineers removed this feature to reduce a small amount of weight from
the bike.
Special components
All the aesthetic touches of a real Racing motorcycle are also included:
- Front quick release axle pull. It speeds up the tyre repairs, which is
very useful during a race as it saves precious seconds.
- Modern and robust RR Vertigo hand guards with “In Mould” graphics;
ideal in the most extreme off-road riding.
-
Black, lightweight and robust aluminium footrests with a wider contact
surface and steel pins that provide maximum grip in all conditions without
reducing any durability.
- Red aluminium chain tensioner blocks.
- Special Racing seat with a pocket.
- Black anodised shift lever and rear brake pedal.
-
Transmission oil cap, engine oil cap and oil filter cap made of red anodised
aluminium with a pure Factory look.
- Red rim stickers and special Racing graphics.
