WIND IN THE P34 Beta Introduces 2026 Dual Sports B eta has introduced its all-new 2026 RS range of dual sport bikes, which Beta claims "are the most off-road capable dual sports on the market." Built on the RR X-Pro platform, the RS models now share the same bodywork. Some new features include a new main frame with a larger backbone tube to reduce flex, new Xtrig Flexfix elastomer handlebar mounts, an updated rear brake master cylinder, a rear muffler with a removable spark arrestor, and a repositioned TC and map switch. The 2026 four-stroke RS models are available in four engine sizes: 350, 390, 430 and 500. Beta claims that the 350 and 390 are the most nimble feeling. The 350 features an engine that enjoys being revved a bit more, while the 390 provides additional torque. The 430 shares the same "rev" feel as the 350 but delivers more overall horsepower and torque. The 500 is Beta's best-selling RS model, which Beta claims offers riders a very user-friendly engine with plenty of torque and a lighter-than-expected feel while riding. The RS line is expected to be available in July. CN Beta's 2026 line of dual sport motorcycles will be available in July.
