Beta recently dropped their 2020 RR range to the media. which we read up about on Enduro21.com. basically all-new from the ground up, both the 2-Stroke and 4-Stroke models received new engine changes, chassis, body work and nearly everything else to match. This new generation of Beta should step the profile up again for the small Italian company.

Coming in hot with eight different models to choose from, Beta have a wide range of engine capacities to choose from.

In their 4-Stroke line up, you can choose from the 350, 390, 430 & 480 engine sizes.

And from their 2-Stroke options, 125, 200, 250 & 300ccs are available for your riding pleasure.

Here area ll the key features from the Italian press release that we found on Enduro21.com.

2020 Beta RR 4-Stroke Engines UPDATES

A complete redesign to reduce weight and bulk of moving parts by raising the clutch position and moving the crankshaft back.
Centre of gravity moved closer to the swingarm pivot for significantly better handling. An overall weight reduction of around 1 kg (2.2 lbs.)
A redesigned magnesium clutch cover, redeveloped to improve oil flow to the clutch assembly more efficiently.
Magnesium flywheel cover, redesigned in line with the rest of the engine, now with a more functional and modern look.
New water pump system improving flow-rate and efficiency of the cooling system's ability to transfer heat, keeping average temperatures lower, improving performance, and providing a more simplified cooling hose system.
Cylinder and head redesigned matched with the updated cooling system to lower engine temperatures.
Oil circuit redesigned for improved heat transfer between oil and water in the front section of the crankcase to keep the oil temperature lower.
Clutch with redesigned discs in a new material to ensure smoother and more modular gear shifting.
Redesigned gearing, now shorter and lighter.
New gearshift mechanism with a lighter cam to improve shifting.
Gearshift lever redesigned in line with the new engine and frame layout.
Addition of a neutral sensor.
Updated EFI mapping.

2020 Beta RR 2-Stroke Engine UPDATES

New counter-balancer to reduce vibration by increasing inertia and improving the power delivery curve. The counter-balancer improves the power delivery throughout the rpm range.
Cylinder head redesigned (250 cc only) to improve torque at low rpm.

NEW 2020 Beta RR 125 UPDATES

New cylinder with modified exhaust port and diameters.
New exhaust flange.
New exhaust valve system and new boosters.
New clutch cover with air purging system operated by the modified clutch mechanism with a modified oil inlet cap position.
New exhaust valve drive, which opens at a different rate to improve power delivery.
New expansion chamber.

NEW 2020 CHASSIS

New frame with redesigned geometry and rigidity for increased agility and stability.
Reduced weight and reliability boosted with the use of precision-cast components. Improved comfort and reduced vibration reduced thanks to new head bolts.
New frame is narrower at the base to improve handling over difficult sections and typical off-road tracks.
Cooling system water hoses placed inside the frame and more efficient radiators to improve heat transfer and allow engines to operate at lower temperatures even in the most extreme conditions.
Modified swingarm, now longer for the four stroke range and the 200cc two-stroke model, for better stability and traction.
Completely redesigned tailpiece for greater strength to reduce breakage during off road riding.
All filter box components and related accessories are now housed inside (electrical components and oil reservoir for two-strokes).
New air filter boot.
New filter mounting system, providing quicker and more accurate installation.
Suspension
Improved fork design with new inner cartridge to lower the centre of gravity to improve plushness and reaction particularly the action over square-edge bumps.
New internal valving updated to work with the new frame design.
New rear shock absorber with new top-out system, which is now a spring to improve grip and contact with the ground during hard braking.
New longer shock bumper with more progressive compression. This ensures good protection of the buffer and improves bottoming resistance.
New valving, to work in-line with the new frame.

Larger capacity fuel tanks, of 9.1l (2.4 US gallons) for four strokes and 9.5l (2.55 US gallons) for two-strokes.
New fuel tanks improve fuel range but also ergonomics and ease-of-movement in the seat.
Wider handlebars for greater control.
Exhaust with new layout in line with the bike's new rear section.
Side stand with bigger foot.
New precision-cast footpegs that are better at shedding mud and teeth to increase boot grip.
New chain guide, longer to suit new swingarm.
New brake pedal, more robust and with larger bearings.
Shorter 430/480 cc gearing compared to previous models.

NEW Bodywork

Front fender with variable thickness geometry which reduces weight and increases rigidity.
New tailpiece in techno-polymer.
New tailpiece attachments in techno-polymer.
New handlebar protector.
Redesigned seat, more comfortable when moving about on the bike.
New license plate bracket, lighter and with integrated handles.
New silencer protector (excluding 125 cc).
New digital instruments and instrument panel.
Redesigned skid plate.
New rear light and license plate bracket with integrated handles.
New frame protectors.

With New Zealand having a new Beta distributor (CLICK HERE FOR THAT STORY), look to see the first lot of RR machines arriving in NZ towards the end of 2019.
