2026 Beta 480 RR Race 4-Stroke

Beta is announcing the arrival of the new 2026 RR Race models a little early for the season. This is an early rollout compared to the traditional October launch, which usually marks the arrival of the best-performing bikes from the Tuscan company, reflecting its constant commitment to innovation and attention to detail, to offer increasingly advanced and performance-based models to riders of all abilities. RR Race models represent the race versions of Beta's Enduro models, characterized by a series of modifications to the engine, suspension, frame, and equipment, making the bikes ideal for giving their best performance on the track - always in the sign of RideAbility.

All 4-stroke engines received new maps with respect to the previous Model Year, to improve their delivery along the entire range. Whatever the displacement, Beta engineers optimized their linearity and usability of the propellers to better manage the power available. This constant improvement of the mapping enhances the bike’s performance from the bottom to the top end. All of the Race models receive a new rear brake hose routing system.

The tried and tested suspension package and the special components of Beta's race-ready version are confirmed:

48 mm Kayaba (KYB) AOS close cartridge fork: anodized internal parts and the treatments administered to the materials minimize sliding friction, while adjustable compression and rebound damping let each rider find the perfect customization of the setting.
Kayaba (KYB) 46mm Shock: the KYB Monoshock can be considered a benchmark in the racing context for its capacity to absorb the roughness of the terrain, the level of traction transferred to the rear wheel, and the consistency of performance, even in particularly heavy use. The hydraulic setting can be fully customized by adjusting the external compression (both high and low speed) and rebound settings.
Front axle: immediately recognizable by the red anodized alloy release lever, this component is crucial for saving precious seconds in a race when you need to change a tire.
Reinforced handguards: the handguards feature a two-component material mold, and not only give the bike a racing look but also make them especially hard-wearing in even the roughest off-road use.
Machined alloy footpegs: to ensure maximum control at all times and no loss of contact with the bike, the footpegs have interchangeable steel pins; these are narrower than in the past to facilitate movement of feet, but better in terms of grip.
Rear sprocket with anodized aluminum core and steel teeth by ZF SPROCKETS: top-class performance, lightness, and strength - the perfect mix of all the attributes any racing component must have.
Dedicated race seat: with non-slip upholstery and document holder pocket for unparalleled grip, comfort, and practicality.
Racing graphics: to never go unnoticed on the race field.
Anodized black gear lever and rear brake pedal.
Gearbox oil filler cap, engine oil filler cap, and oil filter cap are anodized red aluminum.
Chain tensioners in red machined alloy.

Las características pueden incluir: 

Front Axle

• Immediately recognizable by the red anodized alloy release lever, the component is crucial for saving precious seconds in a race when you need to change a tire. 

Kayaba (KYB) 46 mm Shocks

• The KYB monoshock can be considered a benchmark in the racing context for its capacity to absorb to roughness of the terrain, the level of traction transferred to the rear wheel and the consistency of performance even in particularly heavy use. 

48 mm KYB AOS closed cartridge fork

• Anodized internal parts and the treatments minimize sliding friction, while adjustable compression and rebound damping let each rider find the perfect customization of the setting. 

Gearbox

• The 250 and 300 have a longer second gear to improve the range of power in most sections. This update has improved the overall use while in second and third gear for most woods riding. 

Machined alloy footpegs

• To ensure maximum control at all times and no loss of contact with the bike, the footpegs have intern changeable steel pins; these are narrower than in the past to facilitate movement of feet, but better in terms of grip.
