says these have been improved through continued collaboration between Beta and supplier Kayaba , to ensure maximum performance of RR Racing bikes . The forks feature anodised internal parts to minimise sliding friction , while adjustable compression and rebound damping let each rider find the perfect setting . Beta ’ s engineers have revised the calibration of the suspension to improve comfort during initial compression , in an effort to reduce rider fatigue from when shocks from the terrain are transmitted to the rider . Unlike past Racing editions , which received no substantial modifications to the engine over the standard model , for the 2022 range , on two of the two-stroke models - namely the RR 300 and RR 200 - the powerplants have been upgraded to add a pinch of spice to the recipe . On the RR 300 two-stroke , the cylinder block now features a cylinder with modified exhaust and transfer port geometry and a new head , combined with a differently calibrated power valve . According to Beta , the new head also produces a higher compression ratio , resulting in a substantial increase in performance for the 300 . To better manage the increased power output of the engine , Beta engineers have upgraded the power valve , changing the internal spring and adjustment system to give
readily accessible power delivery throughout the rev range . The ignition advance has also been modified as a consequence of these upgrades to the engine . Beta ’ s engineers have also modified the head of the 200cc two-stroke version and replaced the two power valves used in the standard engine with a single , stiffer component . These upgrades contribute to increasing power at mid to high engine speeds . When it comes to the four-strokes , the most significant new feature for the 2022 range is the introduction of traction control - a first on an RR bike . Advances in motorcycle technology are giving shape to new components and TC systems usable even on enduro bikes , which let the rider make more effective use of the vehicle in all possible conditions . The TC function can be engaged at any time from a new button on the control panel in the usual position between the steering tube and the fuel tank . As both the TC function and engine map selection function are controlled from this panel , it now has two control buttons and two separate indicator LEDs for the two functions . Pricing of the 2022 Beta RR Racing range is expected to be announced by EuroMoto closer to the arrival of the first shipment of bikes .
