 
RR RACING
MY 2024
Double the fun
Is it possible to improve the frame, suspension and performance of a World
Championship winning
motorcycle ? It's not easy when the bikes in question are those of Steve
Holcombe or Brad Freeman, but Betamotor's technicians like a challenge, and so
two major innovations have been added to the Racing 2024 models, doubling the
rideability, power and fun!
Beta's flagship racing bike, the RR Racing 300 two stroke, indeed features a new
engine with dual spark plugs with most of the other RR Racing range receiving a
new frame (excluding the 125 and 200) But that's not all, because the 125 two
stroke is also receiving a completely redesigned engine. Rounding off the
package are new graphics and high - level, race - ready components.
The RR Racing bikes represent the race - ready versions of the Enduro RR
models and therefore differ
from them with a series of modifications to the engine, suspension, frame and
equipment, making them ideal for giving their best performance on the track. For
Model Year 2024, the new features and innovations are undoubtedly high impact
and consistent with the build philosophy of these models, offering everyone the
ability to make the most of the available performance with minimal effort, so
they can always give their best. Let's therefore take a look at all the new
features and characteristics which set the models apart.
New Features
Engine
RR Racing 2Str 300
The engine of the multiple world championship - winning model of Brad Freeman
is known in the offroad landscape for its torque and linear power
delivery, Able to offer excellent progressive power throughout the range
while providing top-end performance when needed. Tthe introduction of the new
cylinder head with dual spark plug these characteristics are further improved:
the delivery is even more linear, and although the maximum power is increased,
the vehicle's docility is clearly improved. This result has been achieved thanks
to the two spark plugs, which provide numerous benefits:
- They offer improved distribution of the fuel ignition points in the
combustion chamber, providing less fuel consumption
, making the system more efficient and achieving a significantly lower residue level thanks to the greater carburation
stability at all engine
speeds. This translates into smoother delivery.
-
The engine's range of use is further extended, as both greater torque and
more power are
available.
-
The two spark plugs are managed with a completely separate electrical system.
This means
that, if one
of the spark plugs should
foul out, the engine will still be able to run, although
with less efficiency, allowing the race or offroad session to be completed.
Engine
- RR Racing 2Str 125
As it has repeatedly demonstrated, Beta believes in the potential of young
people, and the
manufacturer has once again chosen to highlight this with the Racing Model Year
2024 bikes,
offering a new engine for the small 125s. The purpose of this intervention was
to increase the power
delivered by the 125 two-stroke along the entire delivery curve, intensifying the maximum peak
horsepower available. This result has been made possible by a totally new
cylinder,
with all
-
new
porting,
and a new exhaust valve system. The
power
valve control has been modified, as well as the
spring and the valve opening regulation calibration, in order to make the engine
more reactive,
powerful and full
blooded, increasing the explosiveness of the absolute performance. The new
125cc engine therefore has a significantly greater range of use than in the past,
with power gains at
high speeds without losing low-end torque.
Suspension
In terms of the suspension, adoption of Kayaba fork and single shock is standard
equipment on all
RR
Race Edition models
, while the main innovation involves the new frame
-
Frame
: all new RR Racing My 2024 models,
(excluding the 125 and 200)
, feature a completely
new frame. The steering tube spars have a larger section than in the past (1
cm), introduced
in
order to provide greater rigidity to the bike
to reduce the overall flex.
In terms of the ride, this
translates into greater precision on entry into and during
turns
, where the greater rigidity allows
the bike's
trail
- holding
to be improved with a truer
and more direct response. This main
modification, already successfully used in competition by the Official Team,
brings with it a series
of adaptations in the supports, engine mounts and so on, introduced to support
the new frame
characteristics. In addition to the above modifications, the footpeg mounts and the rear brake
cylinder mount have also been modified. More specifically, the footpeg mounts
are now
narrower at the bottom, to prevent the possibility of ground contact when riding
in deep ruts.
The brake cylinder mount, on the other hand, has been redesigned to house the new
Nissin
brake cylinder.
-
Nissin:
the new frame is now able to house a new, higher performance Nissin brake cylinder.
This component represents an advance on the previous model and
is distinguished, as well as in its outer construction, by its greater braking power combined with improved
ability to modulate
it
(excluding the 125 and 200).
The package of new features introduced on the RR Racing My 2024 is rounded off
by the high-level
equipment and the precise characteristics which set these models apart from the RR.
Traction Control
4Str Range
The Traction Control, which can be disabled at any moment, is now a fundamental
feature of the
larger engine
sizes and
is therefore found on the Model Year 2024 too. Management of this system
is via the usual button on the control panel between the steering tube and the
fuel tank. As both
the TC function and engine map selection function are controlled from this
panel, it has two control
buttons and two separate indicator LEDs for the two functions.
Oil mix
–
Two
Stroke Range
For the models of the
RR Racing 2Str MY 2024
family, Beta has decided to stick with its choice of
doing away with an automatic mixer, so that its Racing bikes continue to set
benchmarks for
lightness and, as a result, agility. The
RR Racing two
stroke
bike
s must therefore be fueled with
oil/petrol pre-mix –
a characteristic accentuating the thoroughbred racing nature of this version. These bikes can still be fitted with an aftermarket oil mixer, available as an
accessory from the Beta
Factory Parts catalogue.
Suspension

Entire Range
-
48 mm Kayaba (KYB) AOS closed cartridge fork
: Anodised internal parts and the treatments
administered to the materials minimise sliding friction, while adjustable
compression and
rebound damping let each rider find the perfect customisation of the setting.
Betamotor's
engineers have recalibrated the component to make it work optimally with the new
frame
characteristics.
•
Kayaba (KYB) C46
Rear Shock
The KYB
shock can be seen as a gold standard in the racing scene
in terms of its ability to absorb the roughness of the terrain, the level of
traction transferred to
the vehicle and the consistency of performance even under particularly heavy
use, and its
hydraulic setting can be fully customised by adjusting the external compression (both high
and
low speed) and rebound settings.
