Is it possible to improve the frame, suspension and performance of a World Championship-winning motorcycle? It’s not easy when the bikes in question are those of Steve Holcombe or Brad Freeman, but Betamotor’s technicians like a challenge, and so two major innovations have been added to the 2024 RR Racing models, doubling the rideability, power and fun!
The smallest bike in the Beta range, the 125 is the lightest and easiest to handle. In pure racing style, it is suitable for both young riders coming up from the smaller capacities and expert riders looking for a fun bike.
The Beta RR 125 Racing 2T is ADR and LAMS approved across Australia.
As it has repeatedly demonstrated, Beta believes in the potential of young riders, and the manufacturer has once again chosen to highlight this with the 2024 Racing bikes.
The 2024 RR 125 Racing 2T sees a new engine that increases the power along the entire delivery curve, intensifying the maximum peak horsepower available. This result has been made possible by a totally new cylinder, with all-new porting, and a new exhaust valve system. The power valve control has been modified, as well as the spring and the valve opening regulation calibration, in order to make the engine more reactive, powerful and full-blooded, increasing the explosiveness of its performance. The new 124.8cc engine now has a significantly greater range of use than in the past, with power gains at high speeds without losing low-end torque.
The new seat features a non-slip cover and document holder for unparalleled grip, comfort and practicality. The new blue and red colours match the refreshed graphics kit and wheel decals.
To ensure maximum control at all times and ensure no loss of contact with the bike, the RR Racing models are fitted with black CNC aluminium racing footpegs with steel pins, featuring a large contact surface area.
48 mm Kayaba (KYB) AOS closed cartridge fork, with anodised internal parts and the treatments administered to the materials minimise sliding friction, while adjustable compression and rebound damping lets each rider find the perfect customisation of the setting. Betamotor’s engineers have recalibrated the component to make it work optimally with the new frame characteristics.
The KYB rear shock can be seen as a gold standard in the racing scene in terms of its ability to absorb the roughness of the terrain, the level of traction transferred to the vehicle and the consistency of performance even under particularly heavy use, and its hydraulic setting can be fully customised by adjusting the external compression (both high and low speed) and rebound settings.
The new handguards, designed and manufactured in-house by Betamotor, feature a two-component material mould, in red and blue, which not only give the bike a racing look but also makes them especially hard-wearing in even the roughest off-road use.
Immediately recognisable by the red anodised alloy release lever, this component is crucial for saving precious seconds in a race when you need to change a tyre.
Pulling the RR 125 Racing up is easy, with a 260mm wave disc brake combined with a double-piston floating caliper up front, and a 240mm wave disc brake and single-piston caliper in the rear.
A centrally mounted map switch allows riders to quickly change engine maps on the fly, helping you through the most challenging terrains and situations.
