DIRT NEWS
clutch action lighter , more progressive and more controllable in order to significantly reduce rider fatigue . Beta is claiming both engagement and disengagement have been improved , while the clutch is now capable of transmitting even more torque .
FOUR-STROKES The 2022 four-stroke RR models all gain a new electronic control unit . This unit has been improved to offer better “ dry / wet ” map management and take advantage of the engine braking effect more effectively , to let the rider make full use of the potential of the engine . The map selector button remains in its familiar position between the fuel tank and the headstock , where it is easily accessible but protected against accidental knocks and bumps , which could inadvertently change the setting or break the button itself . The four-strokes also gain a lighter new primary transmission , while these models are also equipped with the new clutch with diaphragm spring with three user-adjustable spring preload levels , with more progressive and smoother control action and , as already mentioned , increased transmissible torque . Pricing is expected to be announced for the 2022 Beta RR range in the coming weeks .
