2026 BETA 480RR RACE
350 / 390 / 430 / 480 Four Stroke RR Race:
All 4-stroke engines received new maps with respect to the previous Model Year, to improve their
delivery along the entire range. Whatever the displacement, Beta engineers optimized their linearity
and usability of the propellers to better manage the power available. This constant improvement of the
mapping enhances the bike’s performance from the bottom to the top end.
All of the Race models receive a new rear brake hose routing system.
Racing Components – Entire Range
The tried and tested suspension package and the special components of Beta's race-ready version are
confirmed:
» 48 mm Kayaba (KYB) AOS close cartridge fork: anodized internal parts and the treatments
administered to the materials minimize sliding friction, while adjustable compression and rebound
damping let each rider find the perfect customization of the setting.
» Kayaba (KYB) 46mm Shock: the KYB Monoshock can be considered a benchmark in the racing context
for its capacity to absorb the roughness of the terrain, the level of traction transferred to the rear wheel,
and the consistency of performance, even in particularly heavy use. The hydraulic setting can be fully
customized by adjusting the external compression (both high and low speed) and rebound settings.
» Front axle: immediately recognizable by the red anodized alloy release lever, this component is
crucial for saving precious seconds in a race when you need to change a tire.
» Reinforced handguards: the handguards feature a two-component material mold, and not only give
the bike a racing look but also make them especially hard-wearing in even the roughest off-road use.
» Machined alloy footpegs: to ensure maximum control at all times and no loss of contact with the bike,
the footpegs have interchangeable steel pins; these are narrower than in the past to facilitate
movement of feet, but better in terms of grip.
» Rear sprocket with anodized aluminum core and steel teeth by ZF SPROCKETS: top-class
performance, lightness, and strength - the perfect mix of all the attributes any racing component must
have.
» Dedicated race seat: with non-slip upholstery and document holder pocket for unparalleled grip,
comfort, and practicality.
» Racing graphics: to never go unnoticed on the race field.
» Anodized black gear lever and rear brake pedal.
» Gearbox oil filler cap, engine oil filler cap, and oil filter cap are anodized red aluminum.
» Chain tensioners in red machined alloy.
On all two-stroke models, Beta has decided to stick with its choice of doing away with an oil injector in
order to minimize the weight of the bike.
