2022 Beta RR-S Dual Sport Models
From Beta:
Beta USA has worked with their factory in Italy to create the ultimate street-legal off-road Dual Sport and the 2022 model continues with further development. Basically, the same bike as the Race Edition models, the RR-S range is further enhanced for 2022 with a new diaphragm clutch, new LED headlight, and other features that will inspire and enhance the off-road trail-connecting appeal of the RR-S model range.
Available in four different engine sizes, 350, 390, 430, and 500. Each engine offers a different power delivery, which provides riders with a full range of choices. The 350 has a lighter overall feel and a more free-revving engine, the 390 provides many of the characteristics of the 350 but with added torque. The 430 is the closest to an MX model yet and has more of an off-road type power delivery. The best-selling 500 is the “do it all” model, offering the rider plenty of grunt down low with less shifting and a broad range of controllable power.

ENGINE UPDATES
» Diaphragm Clutch: this new clutch provides a lighter clutch pull while offering more progressive control, significantly reducing rider fatigue. Both engagement and disengagement have been improved, while the clutch is now capable of transmitting even more torque. Riders can also adjust the clutch settings with three different spring options to suit his/her clutch feel.

CHASSIS UPDATES
» Headlight: new LED light with redesigned mask increases the brightness and reduces the voltage requirements.
» Suspension: the rear shock has new compression damping settings with independent high and low-speed damping rates providing the rider with the adjustability for both separate settings. The front forks have also received updated internal valving settings to further enhance the plushness. Also new to the fork are the tubes, different in color thanks to the new anodizing process which improves the surface hardness and corrosion resistance of the tubes.
» Graphics: all models now feature a new all-red color scheme. Combined with the new graphics, which perfectly match the shape and componentry of the bike, the new style gives the bike a very sleek, race-bred look.
