VOLUME 59 ISSUE 23 JUNE 7, 2022 P63 The '23 Beta 125 RR is the most changed of the two- stroke line of RRs. T he four-stroke RRs are back from Beta. After a six-year hiatus, Beta is bringing back its line of RR four-strokes for the 2023 model year. Recently, Beta's four-strokes—350, 390, 430 and 500—have only been offered in either Race Edition or dual sport (RS) trim. Now, you have the less- expensive RRs to choose from again. Beta says it will introduce the Race Edition models at a later date. The RR four-strokes feature twin fuel injectors, diaphragm clutch, electric starting and dual engine maps. They also feature traction control, just like the Race Editions. The RR two-strokes (125, 200, 250 and 300cc) return with redesigned bodywork, updated suspension settings and a major update to the 125's engine. Some of these updates for the 125 include a lighter flywheel and a smaller-diameter crankshaft to improve engine response. The crankcase has also been updated and the exhaust power valve has been recalibrated to match the other engine changes. The two-stroke RR models will be available in August, the four-stroke RRs in November.
