WANT A BETA 2027?

Early in the new year the 2027 Beta Racing range will dock here in NZ. Pricing is yet to be confirmed but the first batch are expected to be snapped up before the boat even reaches our far-flung shores. If you are quick, you might be in luck … They do look like a sweet way to kick off the new year. The four-stroke RR Race models get a host of updates including an up quick-shivfter, launch control, upgraded voltage regulator, updated titanium intake valves( 430, 480 models), a new manual cam-chain tensioner and a larger Trailtech dash, along with other updates shared across the whole of the RR Race range( Renthal grips, updated suspension settings and more). Sharing the range updates along with the fourstrokes, the two-strokes see some extra love too. The 125 gets a new piston and the 250 / 300 have new main bearings. The 300 gets even more
