RIDE REVIEW I 2024 BETA 430 RR RACE EDITION
RR VS. RACE
EDITION
If you're wondering, the standard
RR models come with Sachs
suspension, while the RR Race
Editions have higher-end, more
racing-tuned KYB components.
The 2024 Race Editions also
feature the latest-generation
frame, which offers increased
rigidity. Additionally, there are
significant upgrades in detail
-
ing and cosmetics for the Race
Editions, including a front-axle
grab handle, aluminum footpegs,
a two-tone seat cover with a
scorecard holder, a beautiful red-
white-and-blue color scheme,
and anodized parts throughout.
The Race Edition will cost you
approximately $500 more than
the standard RR, but it might be
a wise investment if you plan to
go racing.
Beta sweetened its offer by
having its brand ambassador,
five-time GNCC Champion Rod-
ney Smith, set up my bike and
haul it to
Caliente for me. See
what I mean? No one could say
no to that deal. Overall, though,
my bike would still be near stock.
He just dialed in the suspension
for my weight and preferences;
I tend to prefer off-road bikes to
be a tick on the soft side. I also
went with a taller seat for my 6'1"
frame and I was good to go.
The Beta 430 RR Race Edition
is ready to go. It's almost too
pretty to get dirty.
