500 RS Special Edition 4-Stroke

Overview:

Beta USA is happy to announce the return of the highly sought-after RS Special Edition models! These models sold out swiftly the last time they were offered in 2024, and with a limited production, should retain their high demand. 50-state street legal and decked out in Race Edition clothing, these new models are for the rider looking for a higher level of performance dual sport.

KYB Suspension highlights the overall package with a top line closed cartridge front fork and a 48mm KYB rear shock that provides a silky smooth ride when the terrain becomes nasty. An updated main frame is also included that provides less flex without any added weight. Finished off with many other features listed below, keeps the RS Special Edition models ahead of all others who dare try to keep up.

Features

Features include:

  • 48 mm Kayaba (KYB) AOS close cartridge fork: anodized internal parts and the treatments administered to the materials minimize sliding friction, while adjustable compression and rebound damping let each rider find the perfect customization of the setting.
  • Kayaba (KYB) 46mm Shock: the KYB single shock can be considered a benchmark in the racing context for its capacity to absorb the roughness of the terrain, the level of traction transferred to the rear wheel, and the consistency of performance, even in particularly heavy use. The hydraulic setting can be fully customized by adjusting the external compression (both high and low speed) and rebound settings.
  • Quick release front axle: immediately recognizable by the red anodized alloy release lever, this component is crucial for saving precious seconds in a race when you need to change a tire.
  • Reinforced handguards: the handguards feature a two-component material mold, and not only give the bike a racing look but also make them especially hard-wearing in even the roughest off-road use.
  • Machined alloy footpegs: to ensure maximum control at all times and no loss of contact with the bike, the footpegs have steel pins which are interchangeable; these are narrower than in the past to facilitate movement of feet, but better in terms of grip.
  • Rear sprocket with anodized aluminum core and steel teeth by ZF SPROCKETS: top-class performance, lightness and strength - the perfect mix of all the attributes any racing component must have.
  • Dedicated race seat: with non-slip upholstery and document holder pocket for unparalleled grip, comfort and practicality.
  • Racing graphics: to show off the seriousness of your Dual Sport path
  • Anodized black gear lever and rear brake pedal.
  • Gearbox oil filler cap, engine oil filler cap and oil filter cap anodized red aluminum.
  • Chain tensioners in red machined alloy. 

Available at your local Beta dealer in early January, it is recommended to reach out and leave a deposit as both the 390 and 500 RS SE models are produced in very small numbers. There are no extra tariff charges added into the price.
