Beta recommended suspension settings for 2020 Race Edition models

With all of the excitement about the addition of KYB forks to the 2020 Race Edition machines and the fact that these aren't yet addressed in the documentation, we've gotten a good base setting from Beta USA to share with you:

Fork: Compression – 16 clicks out from fully closed; Rebound – 14 clicks out from fully closed; Tube height – 1st line or flush depending on the terrain. (Flush for more high speed terrain)

Shock: Low speed compression – 15 clicks out from fully closed; High Speed Compression – 12 clicks out from fully closed; Rebound – 15 clicks out from fully closed

Sag: Static – 25-45mm; Rider – 100-115mm

Thank you as always and enjoy your Race Edition!

Destined for domination!

Beta is proud to launch the 2020 RR race Edition models. These models are all new for 2020 and are sure to be a sellout model for the Italian brand. The 2020 range includes 7 different engine sizes: three 2-stroke (125/250/300 cc) and four 4-stroke (350/390/430/480 cc) engines that offer Beta riders and racers a good selection to meet his or her needs.

Most all of the updates to the standard range of RR and RR-S models have found their way into the Race Edition lineup. Features such as all new frames and bodywork, as well as new counter-balanced engines in the 2 strokes which are still pre-mix to save weight, however an oil injection system is available as an option. Electric start is standard on all models with a back-up kick start kit available as an option.

The all-new 4 stroke engines feature simplified cooling hose routing and re-positioned crankshaft and clutch for better handling. In addition to the new engines, the sub-frame, tail section, seat, fuel tank, bodywork, and many other details are also all new coming together to provide the best looking and most friendly cockpit layout on the market.

If that were not enough, Beta has added the addition of a 48mm KYB AOS closed cartridge front fork! The new fork has been coupled with an updated Sachs rear shock to provide a balanced suspension package.

New features include:

Engine

4-stroke (350/390/430/480 cc):

-A complete redesign, with the aim of reducing the weight and bulk of moving parts, achieved by raising the clutch and moving the crankshaft back. Moving the center of gravity closer to the swingarm pivot makes for significantly better handling. An overall weight reduction of 2.2 lbs.

-A redesigned magnesium clutch cover, redeveloped to improve the oil flow into the clutch assembly more efficiently.

-Magnesium flywheel cover, redesigned in-line with the rest of the engine, now with a more functional and modern look.

-New water pump system that improves flow-rate and therefore the efficiency of the cooling system's ability to transfer heat, keeping average temperatures lower, improving performance, and providing a more simplified cooling hose system.

-Cylinder and head redesigned matched with the updated cooling system to lower engine temperatures.

-Oil circuit redesigned to provide better heat transfer between oil and water in the front section of the crankcase in order to keep the oil temperature lower.

-Updated charging system that provides higher output.

-Clutch with redesigned discs in a new material to ensure smoother and more modular gear shifting.

-Redesigned gearing, now shorter and lighter.

-New gearshift mechanism with lighter cam to improve shifting.

-Gearshift lever redesigned in line with the new engine and frame layout.

-Updated EFI mapping.

-Machined aluminum oil fill plugs and oil filter cover.

2-stroke (250/300 cc):

-Now with a counter-balancer to reduce vibration by increasing inertia and improving the power delivery curve. The counter-balancer improves the power delivery throughout the rpm range.

-Cylinder head redesigned (250 cc only) to improve torque at low rpm.

-Machined aluminum oil fill plug.

-New expansion chamber, improved performance across the power range (125 cc only).

Chassis: (All Race Edition Models)

-All-New frame with redesigned geometry and rigidity for increased agility and stability. Weight is reduced and reliability boosted with the use of precision-cast components, while comfort is improved and vibration reduced thanks to new head bolts. The frame is also narrower at the base which improves handling over difficult sections and typical off-road tracks.

-Modified swingarm, now longer for the 4-stroke range for better stability and traction.

-Completely redesigned tailpiece, greater strength to reduce breakage during off road riding, all filter box components and related accessories are now housed inside it (electrical components and oil reservoir for 2-strokes).

-New air filter boot.

-Air Filter mounting system, providing quicker and more accurate installation.

-KYB 48mm AOS Closed Cartridge front fork, Beta engineers working with KYB to provide a balanced feel to the bike during racing or play riding.

-New rear shock absorber with:

--New top-out system, now a spring to improve grip and contact with the ground during hard braking.

--New longer shock bumper with more progressive compression. This ensures good protection of the buffer and improves bottoming resistance.

--New valving, to work in-line with the new frame.

-Cooling system with water hoses placed inside the frame and more efficient radiators. This improves heat transfer and allows engines to operate at lower temperatures even in the most extreme conditions.

-Larger capacity fuel tanks, of 2.4 US gallons for 4-strokes and 2.55 US gallons for 2-strokes. Besides providing greater range, the new fuel tanks improve ergonomics and ease-of-movement in the seat.

-Wider handlebars for greater control.

-Exhaust with new layout in-line with the bike's new rear section.

-Side stand with bigger foot pad.

-New machined aluminum footpegs that are extra wide.

2020 Beta ride impressions

125RR

Still not a 125 guy sadly! The last one I rode was last years model so my small bore 2-stroke skills haven't improved at all and I wasn't able to get the most out of this machine but even with that said it is an amazing power plant for an offroad 125 2-stroke. The power is all up top of course but it's a pretty wide spread all things considered and there certainly is something about throwing a 125 around that is too much fun.

200RR

Much like the 250 just below, my impression of this machine varied wildly from last year. This machine needed some jetting so as far as motor impression I would defer to last years writeup as that machine ran great and was very impressive. Handling was excellent, nimble, and able put it anywhere you want on the trail just like the 125.

250RR

I just happened to ride the 2020 250RR first based on line length, and it was a good start to the day. Our course was tight and slick; typical Ohio slippery I'm told! The last time I rode a 250 I wasn't overly impressed but this one must have been setup differently because I loved this machine. Responsive and lively power, yet linear and without the hit I didn't care for last year. As this was so early in the day the course was still quite slick but the power delivery was controllable and snappy at the same time somehow; very impressed.

300RR

I rode the 300RR second and the difference in power delivery and feel was noticeable between it and the 250. A bit more flywheel feel so more power than the 250 but even more controllable. I've never felt that the Beta 2-strokes vibrated badly and still feel the same with the addition of the counterbalancer.

300RR Race Edition

Next up was my first ride on a Race Edition with KYB forks. The course was still pretty slick and in these conditions there wasn't a whole lot of difference between the two, possibly a bit more planted in the front with the Kayaba AOS forks.

350RR Race Edition

Moving up the displacement range the 350RR Race Edition got more into my comfort zone as a 4-stroke guy. In the snotty conditions, and at sea level, the 350 was great. Easier to find traction due to power delivery and overall weight, in the slick Ohio conditions I really enjoyed the 350. Riding it a second time later in the day brought out the differences between the two forks, I still prefer the closed cartridge units for feel and bottoming resistance, whether Sachs or Kayaba.

390RR-S

I really love the 390 motor, my favorite powerplant of all the machines and this one was no different. The change to Race Edition spec just makes the RR-S motor even better. Still the "Mama Bears bed" of all the 4-strokes, just right. This machine still handled the slick terrain at sea level well but is also excellent is the more wide open western conditions at altitude that we ride locally.

430RR-S

By this point in the day most of the track was finally getting burned in so speeds increased a bit to where the difference between the open chamber and closed chamber forks could be felt. No change for me here, I still prefer the closed chamber forks out of the crate. My personal machine has open chambers that work quite well and either can be made to work very, very well when setup for you personally but there is a difference out of the crate. Same here in the engine department, all of the RR-S engines now have the same fuel injection system and equipment as the Race Edition 4-strokes and that just makes them even better. The RR-S is a great machine in any displacement if it fits your riding style.

500RR-S

The last 4-stroke to try was the 500. I should mention that this year all of the machines have updated dry/rain settings and while still not a huge difference it was definitely noticeable. I experimented with both on most every machine and with the conditions we were in the rain mode helped find traction regardless of displacement and 2-stroke or 4. Overjumping a little bit on this machine had me landing in a hole and this is where the difference between open and closed chamber forks is most noticeable. The open chamber forks have less bottoming resistance and a different feel in the last third of the stroke. Again, these machines were bone stock and were probably all at least one spring rate off for me so that's definitely a factor.

XTrainer

Scott (Sierra BMW & Beta Service Manager and XTrainer rider)-Pretty much the same machine as last year, just a bit smoother and the blue bodywork looks great. Always an easy to ride but impressively capable bike. Watching the other riders accelerating across the field before entering the woods section, you wouldn’t think of this Beta as “entry level” or underpowered! Still my favorite.

Evo 200 2T

This was the first of the trials machines I puttered around on. I'm no trials rider and had never ridden a 200 before but this machine was amazing. Plenty of power at sea level, and very light and agile feeling.

Scott (Sierra BMW & Beta Service Manager and actual trials rider)-First time I have been able to ride a 200. Nice nimble bike with very smooth power delivery. Easier to “move” the bike around than the bigger Evo machines. Very impressed with how easy it is to ride. Very fun bike!

Evo 300 2T

I rode the Evo 300 later in the day and not only does it have more power than the 200 there's also a bit different feel to it, quite a bit more flywheel if I had to guess. It felt to me as if there were just more inertia at work in general, both power and handling.

Scott (Sierra BMW & Beta Service Manager and actual trials rider)-Very familiar since this is what I normally ride. Suspension on this standard model felt better than my 2017 Evo did and closer to the 2018 Factory that I currently ride. Unfortunately the area we used didn’t have very many true trials obstacles so I couldn’t give it a thorough test. As always, the 300 has plenty of power!

Evo 300 4T

Scott (Sierra BMW & Beta Service Manager and actual trials rider)-Nice bike, very responsive but nice smooth power delivery. There is a different feel due to the 4-stroke motor and extra pounds over the 2-stroke making it a little heavier to “move” around, but it also makes it more stable. I personally prefer the 2-strokes but there isn’t anything negative to say about this bike. Different strokes for different folks!

Overall - Enduro

As always, Beta has made some really noticeable improvements over last years machines. The entire line has new bodywork with a flatter seat, new radiators, frame, and redesigned mid-section that really improves the bike/rider interface. The RR-S line now has twin injectors and Betas mass centralization efforts continue as the redesigned motor lost weight and moved it for better handling. The 2-stroke 300s and 250 got a counter-balancer to make them even smoother. Of course, another big addition is the Kayaba fork on the Race Edition machines and as expected it works excellently. Two more World Titles, an AMA regional title wrapped up early, and top 3 in a couple of other National championships for 2019 and the amazing 2020 machines mean that 2020 is shaping up to be an even better year for Beta!

Overall - Trial

Scott (Sierra BMW & Beta Service Manager and actual trials rider)-I like the new bodywork. The tail light is more integrated into the fender and it’s nice having the map switch near the gas cap and an LED to let you know what mode is set. It is good that the standard front fork can now be easily upgraded to have the “Factory” adjustability. Good, solid bikes as always.

Beta launches the new 2020 RR Race Edition Models on the market!

Beta presents the race-ready version of its new-generation Beta Enduro range. As customers have come to expect, it's fitted with all the equipment needed to make it a truly race-ready machine, set up for any situation it'll encounter during competition.

Beta engineers have therefore focused on developing a high-end set-up and incorporating all those details - both aesthetic and functional - that reduce weight and ensure even higher performance under all race conditions.

The new RR Racing MY 2020 has, in fact, all the same features that have enabled Steve Holcombe and Brad Freeman to dominate the World Enduro circuit over the last few years, winning several titles in succession.

The Racing family consists of 7 models: 125, 250, 300cc 2-stroke and 350, 390, 430 and 480cc 4-stroke.

Compared to the respective standard versions, the RR Racing MY 2020 range stands out on account of:

Suspension

-Kayaba AOS forks with closed ø 48 mm cartridge: these new KYB spring forks feature a closed-cartridge design and are renowned worldwide for being top-of-the-range. Close collaboration between Beta and Kayaba has created a bespoke product which features a new fork shoe design and a unique calibration reserved for the RR models. Also, the presence of anodized internal components minimizes sliding friction, while the customary compression and release adjusters allow easy attainment of optimum settings at all times. Therefore, Kayaba forks ensure excellent operation under all usage conditions, being ultra-reliable, easy to tune and, what's more, considerably reducing weight (0.5 kg lighter than the MY 2019).

-ZF ø 46 mm shock absorber with new calibration; this newly refined set-up lets riders make the absolute most of the new chassis.

-Black anodized triple clamp.

Premix

In response to riders who are always looking for slashing weight, the Beta R&D department has once again decided to dispense with the automatic mixer in order to reduce bike weight as much as possible. RR Racing MY 2020 2-stroke machines run on oil/gas premix, thus honing the racing pedigree of this version.

Special components

-Quick release front wheel pin: essential for saving precious seconds during a race, this device speeds up tire repairs.

-Vertigo hand guards: solidity, eye-catching design and In-Mold graphics make this accessory indispensable for off-road riding.

-Metzeler Six Days tires: for confident off-road riding. It's no coincidence that these tires are the most widely used in top-level Enduro competitions and by multiple world champion Steve Holcombe.

-Black Aluminum footrests: with a broad contact surface and steel pegs to ensure optimum grip under all conditions. A robust yet lightweight structure means these footrests also have a longer lifespan.

-Rear sprocket with anodized aluminum core and steel teeth; a perfect combination of lightness and durability.

-Red aluminum chain tensioner blocks.

-Racing seat with pocket.

-Black anodized shift/brake levers.

-Transmission oil cap, engine oil cap and oil filter cap in red anodized aluminum.

-Racing graphics and red rim stickers.

-New battery charging system: more efficient and reliable (4-stroke only).

-New expansion chamber: improves performance across the entire power curve, especially at high revs where it boosts acceleration (125 2-stroke only).

CHANCE FULLERTON
Series: National Hare & Hound
Bike: Beta 250 RR Race Edition
"My race went well this past weekend running top 5 overall most of the race. I ended up getting lost for awhile and finishing 8th overall and first Pro 250 Class. I can't thank everyone enough who helped me get comfortable on the bike, and I plan on being on the top spot a lot more."

MORGAN TANKE
Series: National Hare & Hound
Bike: Beta 250 RR Race Edition
"I had a great time at the 2nd round of the National Hare and Hound series. The dust was really bad for the first 30 miles and it was super fast which I don't have much experience in. After a speedy pit stop I went on to the second loop and that's where it got more technical. I was able to keep a good pace for the rest of the race and took home the win! It feels great to be back racing after an injury!"

JOE WASSON
Series: National Hare & Hound
Bike: Beta 430 RR Race Edition
"Did some bomb run practice Saturday morning, had a good line, but unfortunately didn't get the jump. I was about 20th off the start and made a lot of passes in the first 20 miles. Then there were some very high speed whoops for a long ways and I wasn't able to run the top pace. I came in the pits in 11th and was able to make one more pass. I was starting to catch the riders in front of me but ran out of time and I ended up in 10th overall."

Jordan Ashburn finishes 9th at the 1st round of the GNCC series.

GNCC Round 1 Overview
Location: Union, South Carolina
Course Conditions: Scattered Showers with occasional mud pits and loamy soil.

JORDAN ASHBURN
Series: GNCC
Bike: Beta 430 RR Race Edition
"The start of the season was a little "rough" with nearly 1000 bikes racing the track was brutal. I started out the first lap in 7th not getting a good jump off the line. I struggled battling the changing track conditions lap after lap. I was able to hang in there until lap 3 when I fell going around a mud hole. Then I lost sight of the group ahead. I ended up 9th in XC1, and I'm ready for them at the next round."

MIKE WITKOWSKI
Series: GNCC
Bike: Beta 250 RR Race Edition
"The GNCC started out well with me going into the woods in about 4th place. I quickly hopped into the lead about a half a mile in the race. I ran in the lead for 2-3 miles before picking a bad line and getting passed by a couple riders. Then halfway through the 2nd lap I made a rider error and went down really hard. I got the bike up and running with thanks to a fellow Beta racer that stopped to help me. But it was to great of discomfort to proceed on with the race. I am dealing with great soreness and discomfort but nothing is broken."

2018 Beta Race Edition first look!

The 2018 RR range, presented to the public in June, has now been beefed up with a Racing version. These models are developed through the Beta Race division and are very similar to the bike that Enduro World Champion Steve Holcombe, as well as USA race team riders Max Gerston and Jordan Ashburn compete on. 2018 Racing models will be available in the 250 and 300 cc (2-stroke) and 350, 390, 430 and 480 cc (4-stroke) engine sizes.
 
With the influence of the official Beta Factory Teams, numerous upgrades have been made to reduce weight and improve handling during the array of situations that the riders encounter in their championships.
 
Racing versions benefit from the numerous technical improvements introduced on the standard bikes including:
2-stroke Models: 
-All New clutch: A total overhaul has developed a more compact and lighter weight clutch that improves its feel, precision, and stability as operating temperatures change. This new system provides more progression in clutch feel that allows for better control overall, making the tough lines even more graceful. A smaller, more compact clutch cover has been installed.
-Elimination of the kick-start: the incredible work put into making the electric starter more reliable has allowed the kick-start lever to be removed, significantly reducing weight. Given the engine design, a kick-start can still be ordered as an option.
-New gear change system: updated star wheel and detent mechanism improves the precision of the transmission eliminating any possible uncertainties when shifting gears.
-New air filter box: intense testing was done on the 2-stroke engine timing advance curves to optimize output enabling the introduction of a new air filter box.
-New cylinder: improves performance in terms of torque and power output throughout the rev range while keeping the response perfectly linear.
-Rounded piston and new cylinder head profile: (300cc only): together with the new cylinder, provides smoother engine performance while providing better traction. 
-Crankshaft: redesigned configuration that is matched to the new cylinder which increases stiffness and provides less engine vibration.
-New connecting rod: revised lower bearing area to improve durability.
-New power valve timing: different design of the power valve ramps to better adapt to the new primary drive ratio, ensuring better power delivery.
-New combustion chamber (250cc only):provides a higher compression ratio which has increased the power output.
-New Chassis The front-end of the frame has been completely redesigned enabling an increase in the flexural and torsional rigidity characteristics compared to previous versions and with a notable reduction in weight thanks to an improved structural layout. This generates a consistent improvement in handling and riding precision.
-Air filter box and rear sub-frame: lighter and slimmer design giving the bike a more aggressive look. 
-Lithium battery: lighter in weight, more powerful and reliable.
-New skid plate: improved fastener accessibility for quicker removal.
-New muffler heat shield: protects the rider from burns. 
-Takasago Excel rims: with a new black finish specifically designed for Beta. 

4-stroke Models: 
-All New clutch: A total overhaul has developed a more compact and lighter weight clutch that improves its feel, precision, and stability as operating temperatures change. This new six-spring system provides more progression in clutch feel that allows for better control overall, making the tough lines even more graceful. A smaller, more compact clutch cover has been installed.
-Elimination of the kick-start: the incredible work put into making the electric starter more reliable has allowed the kick-start lever to be removed, significantly reducing weight. Given the engine design, a kick-start can still be ordered as an option.
-New gear change system: updated star wheel and detent mechanism improves the precision of the transmission eliminating any possible uncertainties when shifting gears.
-New air filter box: intense testing was done on the 4-stroke engine injection mapping to optimize output enabling the introduction of a new air filter box.
-New muffler: revised external profile and internal layout to improve engine performance, especially at low rpm.
-EFI with dual injectors: The introduction of dual injectors allows the application of dedicated maps for each engine displacement in order to increase engine performance (particularly in the middle and top end of the power delivery) and to increase mixture control which subsequently increases fuel mileage.
-New Chassis The front-end of the frame has been completely redesigned enabling an increase in the flexural and torsional rigidity characteristics compared to previous versions and with a notable reduction in weight thanks to an improved structural layout. This generates a consistent improvement in handling and riding precision.
-Air filter box and rear sub-frame: lighter and slimmer design giving the bike a more aggressive look. 
-Lithium battery: lighter in weight, more powerful and reliable.
-New muffler heat shield: protects the rider from burns. 
-Takasago Excel rims: with a new black finish specifically designed for Beta. 
 
Additional features found on the Racing versions only:
Beta engineers have been hard at work developing the front and rear suspension settings. More specifically, they've introduced:
-48 mm closed-cartridge Sachs fork with new, lighter, redesigned slider. The system is filled with latest-generation low-friction oil and calibrated to match the 2018 frame to perfection.
-Shock absorber with revised valving and calibration that improves the overall performance of the rear suspension in working with the new design of the frame.
-Black anodized triple clamp to blend perfectly with the red fork tubes
-New Michelin tires.
 
Premix
True to the racing spirit, the 2 stroke range has no oil injection. 
Unlike standard RR models, all of the 2 stroke Racing Edition bikes run on premix. The Beta R&D department has listened to the riders' demands for lighter weight bikes and deciding to remove this feature to minimize weight. A separate mixing system (Oil Injection) can easily be implemented on Racing models by purchasing the relevant kit in our accessory catalog.
 
Special components
The Racing range also includes these items that set the bike apart from the standard versions:
-Quick release front wheel pin: speeds up tire repairs, saving precious seconds in race situations.
-Vertigo hand guards: modern design, tough and "In-Mold" graphics; ideal for extreme off-road riding.
-Black aluminum footrests: light and sturdy, with a broader contact patch, steel pegs to ensure maximum, long-lasting grip under all conditions.
-Rear sprocket with anodized aluminum core and steel teeth: an unbeatable combination of lightness and durability.
-Billet aluminum chain tensioner blocks.
-Racing seat with pocket.
-Black anodized shift/brake levers.
-Transmission oil cap, engine oil cap and oil filter cap in red anodized aluminum.
