VOLUME ISSUE JUNE , P75 I talian manufacturer Beta will again offer eight mod- els in the U.S. for 2024. In the two-stroke range, there are the 125cc, 200, 250 and 300 RR models, and in the four-stroke range, there are the 350cc, 390cc, 430cc and 480cc RR models. The 250, 300 and all four- stroke models receive an updated radiator design that is more durable and lighter, says Beta. This new shape at the top allows for more fork clearance which pro- vides a greater turning radius. The 300cc engine re- ceives an updated crank bearing design similar to the 2023 250cc RR model to improve durability. All the bikes get new, lighter fork internals that re- duce friction to improve the overall feedback to the rider on choppy or rocky trials. They also all get a new front brake hose that is now crimped at the top and bot- tom, eliminating the outer sheath to slide down the line, and the seat is reshaped and has softer foam for more overall comfort. All the four-stroke models have an "improved traction control system that provides the rider with better control in loose or muddy conditions." Beta's TC system works independently with the dual MAP ignition system "which also gives riders more tuning options." And all the four-stroke models receive a redesigned rear airbox boot. The bikes will be available in September. CN PRICING: 125 RR $8599, 200 RR $9499, 250 RR $9899, 300 RR $10,099, 350 RR $10,499, 430 RR $10,699, 480 RR $10,799 2024 Beta 350 RR RR
