2022 BETA RR RACING MODELS

Instead of wrapping themselves up in preparation for the northern hemisphere winter , Beta Motorcycles is on the gas preparing to release the new 2022 RR Racing range of enduros instead . EuroMoto , the guys who distribute the Beta Motorcycles brand here in Aotearoa , has announced they will be bringing the full range into the country with the exception of the 125cc two-stroke and 350cc four-stroke models . The first examples of the new Beta RR range are expected to arrive in New Zealand as early as December 2021 depending on global shipping circumstances . For the 2022 model year , the Beta engineers at the Rignano sull ’ Arno factory have worked on developing upgrades for both the suspension and the powertrain , while keeping all the styling and functional details you ’ d expect from a race-focused version from Beta , to save weight and make these bikes even more practical for real-world race conditions .

Along with a hot new set of graphics for 2022 , and in keeping with the Racing name they ’ re bestowed with , each bike in the RR Racing MY 2022 differs from the standard bikes in a number of ways . Included in the RR Racing standard kit is a quick release front axle , made immediately recognisable by the red anodised alloy release lever , red Vertigo handguards , Ergal alloy footpegs , a ZF supplied rear sprocket with anodised aluminium core and steel toothing , a dedicated blue racing saddle with anti-slip upholstery and document holder pocket , anodised black gear lever and rear brake pedal . There ’ s also a number of parts that are more bling than performance to add further emphasis to the RR Racing ’ s pedigree , including anodised red aluminium gearbox oil filler cap , engine oil filler cap and oil filter cap , along with chain tensioners in red ergal alloy . The 2022 RR Racing models remain blessed in the suspension department by top quality 48mm KYB AOS closed cartridge forks . Beta
