Beta is launching the new 2017 RR Racing model range to the market, the bike that won the 2016 Manufacturers World Championship and helped Steve Holcombe to become World Champion in the prestigious E3 class along with Johnny Aubert finishing second. Alex Salvini, to delight the Tuscan Manufacturer accomplished a record for Italy by winning the Italian Enduro Championship.

These Racing editions are also used by the Beta USA Factory team in all aspects of the AMA national championship series.


The new Beta "Racing" versions feature innovations in suspension as well as providing special features for the racer. New for the 2017 Race line-up is the introduction of the 390 4 stroke to the family. 2017 RR Racing models will be available in the following engine sizes: 250 - 300 2 stroke and 350 - 390 - 430 - 480 4 stroke.

The Beta engineers worked hard to further improve the front suspension feel of the bike. After the excellent results obtained also on the race tracks by the Factory Beta team, the 48mm closed cartridge Sachs fork was further evolved by increasing both wheelbase and stroke while improving some internal parts to improve reliability and performance. Just like the 2017 standard series fork, the closed cartridge version arrives with a higher quality oil which has proven to reduce friction while offering a more consistent performance during the longer events.


All 2 stroke "Racing" versions continue to run Premix unlike the standard RR 2 stroke models which come equipped with an oil injection system. Beta engineers have decided to remove this feature to minimize weight however the Racing editions are provided with a carburetor and electric wiring so that a separate mixing system can be easily installed thanks to a kit.
