Italian motorcycle manufacturer Beta motorcycles has announced its 2019 Line of Beta RR-S street legal motorcycles. Beta produces four separate models that share the same chassis and engine family, but deliver a distinctly different character in terms of feel and power delivery. Available engine displacements are 350cc, 390cc, 430cc and 500cc. The US delivered RR-S bikes are manufactured on the same production line as the European off road machines but come with USA spec lighting and a Trail Tech Voyager GPS unit. Beta’s off road roots are important, but they also believe that making motorcycle more versatile is a key element. The RR-S line of motorcycles can be ridden on the street, as well as ridden in dual sport events or raced at a local Hare Scramble or Enduro.
Several components have been updated for 2019 including:
- An all new front fork that is adjustable for compression, rebound, and spring preload. Each of these adjustments can be made at the top of the fork with no tools needed.
- An all new shock with a smaller body diameter and more compact reservoir for less heat buildup.
- Newly designed lower fork guards that are stiffer
- New lower fork yokes that are more compact and less likely to catch on obstacles.
