2009 Beta Enduro



09 Racing Model

From 2009 Beta RR Enduro
09 standard model

RR4T STANDARD VERSION

 

  1. NEW 45 mm MARZOCCHI FORKS

The front suspension has been completely redesigned. Many of the components have been replaced or specially modified, with the aim of improving front end stability and capacity to absorb bumps.

Rider comfort has been much improved through a reduction in pitching, giving greater confidence at high speeds.

From a technical point of view, the changes involve the following parts:

o        new pistons. A radical but very important decision, which has given the hydraulics a 50% increase in effectiveness compared with the previous version.

o        new damper rods with a hardening treatment designed to reduce stiction and increase stability of performance over the long term

o        new bushes to improve overall smoothness

o        hydraulic cartridge filling modified to improve the oil bath and reduce any emulsification

o        fork springs now have less rigidity to suit the new operating conditions

o        forks reconfigured for wider spacing between centres (+ 10mm) for greater versatility in use.

  1. SHOCKABSORBER ADJUSTMENT

We have taken a fresh look at the rear suspension to allow new settings in order to optimise behaviour in partnership with the modified front end.

  1. NEW WHEELS

In the 2009 version the RR runs on lightened Excel wheels front and rear.

This provides a sharp reduction in unsprung weight (over 900g), combined with remarkable rigidity, achieved by the use of:

o        New lighter steel spokes

o        New aluminium spoke nipples

o        New lightened wheel hubs

  1. MORE COMFORTABLE SEAT

The seat has been redesigned and filled with more suitable foam for the type of use the bike receives. This modification has increased rider comfort, and will be specially appreciated by people who often use the bike for long periods.

  1. NEW COLOURS AND GRAPHICS

A brand new white colour-scheme has been introduced, made even more exclusive by aggressive new graphics in fluorescent red.

 

RR4T SPECIAL EDITION VERSION

 

Those bikes will be produced in limited numbers.

Here-below the technical differences that this bike will present in comparison to the standard version:

   1.   ø 50mm Marzocchi forks

Fitted with sealed internal cartridge and totally revised components. We need to emphasise that this version too has totally redesigned pistons, with a 50% increase in hydraulic action capacity. The larger-diameter stanchions on this “Magnum” version give the bike greater stability.

2.   Fork yokes machined from solid

In aluminium with variable offset and bright red anodising. In combination with the new stanchions, they give greater rigidity to the front end, bringing increased    precision to the ride. 

  1. Rear shock absorber 5 mm longer

To give greater ground clearance.

  1. Full titanium Leovince exhaust system

With straight-through silencer and decibel-killer at rear end. Use of this system means a very considerable saving in the bike’s overall weight and results in a more linear and full-bodied delivery, while being fully compliant with the legislation.

  1. Racing electrical system

This means lighter and simpler electrics, designed to improve practicality and maintenance

  1. Stealth aluminium rear sprocket

A vitally important component which in this configuration, using titanium fixing pins, manages to combine the best qualities of aluminium (lightness and rigidity) and steel (long-term robustness). With its striking black and red colour scheme, the sprocket cannot fail to catch the eye.

  1. New lightened Excel wheels

Fitted both front and rear. These Excels enable a weight-saving of over 900 grams compared with standard, while maintaining extremely high rigidity. They use new lighter steel spokes, new aluminium nipples and new lightened wheel hubs.

  1. Inner front disc carrier

In black

  1. Racing number plate

With LED miniature headlamp. The shape is more functional for use in competition and improves the look of the bike.

  1. Rear mudguard air intake

In robust and ultra-light carbon fibre. Here too the shape helps to give a more personal look to the bike.

  1. Hand guards

Impact-resistant, giving good protection.

2005 Beta Enduro


Back to enduro, Back to the future
It’s not only a play on words: in the year of its first two-wheeled 100 years, Beta develops that enduro-project which gave life to memorable bikes during the 70’s. The plan, enriched by years of experiences and success in the off-road universe, today takes shape around a 4-stroke heart and enviable components: each square inch invites you to jump on the saddle, let the engine roar and open the throttle.

4 ways to be RR Enduro 4-stroke 
Don’t puzzle your brain, there’s no excuse. With the brand new RR 4-stroke Beta has thought to the most disparate needs an enduro rider may have, offering a range of four different displacements (250, 400, 450 and 525cc) and a ready-to-race spirit, well combined with a light weighted frame, moved by a performing and reliable engine. Whether riding the “little” 250, or the aggressive 525cc, be sure that your rivals have their napkins and cutlery, because they’ll surely have a lot of dust and mud to eat! 

October 2004 - It’s enduro time!
The new RR 4-stroke will be available in October 2004, expressly to enjoy the first autumn quagmires! The wait has just begun: take your enduro outfit off the wardrobe (how long since your last REAL enduro-excitement?) and wipe away the dust!
 

BETA RR Enduro 250/400/450/525 cc 4-stroke

Back to enduro, back to the future
Since the 1970s, Beta has been one of the points of reference in the motocross and enduro arenas, with an approach to off-road motorcycling based upon race-ready bikes that are 100% usable, built with sincere and healthy passion.

“In the past, the invasion of Japanese competitors, with quality products at affordable prices, forced us to follow a strategy of entrenchment in specialist market niches,” explains Lapo Bianchi, managing director of Betamotor S.p.A.

One of the most obvious outcomes of this is the extensive know-how acquired by Beta in the trial motorcycles segment, where it has become a genuine pathfinder, continuing to express its passion and feeling for bikes that combine racing performance with exceptional driveability. And the company’s leadership position in the trial bike arena is not just restricted to production volumes, but also extends to the pioneering of innovative technical solutions that are later taken up by other manufacturers.

The recent evolution in the market situation, which has seen a fully fledged resurgence of enduro disciplines, coupled with the off-road expertise acquired by Beta over the years, has opened up new prospects for seizing opportunities that were formerly unhoped-for.

“Today,” Lapo Bianchi continues, “we can count on an engine that combines extreme performance with total reliability; so that leveraging our off-road experience to build new enduro models is now a tantalising and attainable objective. We feel optimally placed to bring our off-road philosophy to bear on a model specifically conceived and developed for the serious enduro rider. In light of these considerations, and the knowledge of having developed a top-performing, truly race-ready bike, we believe we can contribute tangible added value to the segment.”

A return to the world of enduro that has the mark of an event, especially because the one hundredth anniversary of the company falls this year.

Racing performance, total confidence!
Is it really possible to square a circle? Some might ask whether there is any room left for improvement in such a crowded enduro universe with its countless offerings. However, although there are a lot of options, many of them are incomplete or lacking in certain respects. Within this complex playing field, Beta has chosen to build an enduro model that fully epitomises its approach: a motorcycle with frank and exhilarating responsiveness that is 100% utilisable. Performance, reliability and confidence: these are the three ingredients that make RR Enduro something that hasn’t been seen in a while.

A four-stroke engine which affords both exceptional performance and uncompromising reliability. Strong torque starting from the low rev-ranges, that rises evenly and smoothly up to maximum speed. A linear and uniform power output means that the bike’s “muscularity” never becomes unmanageable. In short, a complete, well-rounded engine that is totally controllable, designed for expert riders and competitors, but accessible to weekend enthusiasts as well. A smooth transmission with the ideal gear ratios for enduro riding provides the perfect complement to the engine. The electric ignition is likewise optimised and fail-safe: it always starts first time, whether the bike is hot or cold. And if you’re still set on using the kick-starter, at least you won’t need a bionic leg!

The ultimate feeling of confidence, riding ease and enjoyment is provided by a chassis which assures manoeuvrability and control over this ultra high-performance bike. If you are tired of motorcycles that take hours of study and practice to learn to ride and get used to, then now is the time to try something new: less effort means more enjoyment. Immediacy and confidence—these are the bywords of the new RR 4-stroke models. Sincere, direct contact and real, exciting sensations—all in a bike designed and developed specifically for the serious enduro rider.

Racing grade components for a truly race-ready configuration: from the brake discs and calipers, to the aluminium parts and the suspensions, everything in the new RR 4-stroke reflects an uncompromising emphasis on quality construction. All are components which set apart a true racing bike, and all are included in the list price. The only thing that’s missing is your Racing Federation card!

Engine
Timing system tuned to achieve synchronisation with the exhaust and air box, thereby gaining a two-fold advantage: increased power (about 1.5 hp more than the stock engine) and optimal engine manageability.
Water pump built into the head-cylinder assembly, with specially designed intake flows and exhaust ducts, always guarantees the necessary circulation for limiting the temperature under even the most demanding conditions.
The RR 4-stroke clutch, characterised by constant pressure and precise actuation, sets a new standard for the enduro sector, also thanks to a surface-hardened housing mounted on 2 needle bearings.
The valve spring cups, in nitrided steel, again reflect the utmost attention to the quality of every detail, which translates into superior reliability and wear performance.
Forged pistons with graphite coating and augmented thickness for longer life.
Valves with hard chrome plating. Progressive wound valve springs, with double spring system. Adjustment for valve play.
Two independent oil pumps with level windows ensure optimum lubrication and are ideally positioned for quick disassembly, facilitating access for cleaning and maintenance.
Seven of the eight lubrication channels are incorporated into the sump to guarantee protected lubrication and lasting reliability. The convenient window allows the oil level to be checked at a glance.
An ignition button starts up the bike, but if necessary, you can always relay on a kick-start pedal. At only 880 grams, the aluminium pedal won’t weigh you down during the race. Automatic and lever operated decompressor, so that whatever happens, you can set your mind at ease.
Perfect sparking for optimal power output. The state of the art Keihin FCR-MX carburettor (Ø 37 mm for 250 cc and 39 mm for 400 cc, 450 cc and 525 cc) equipped with TPS sensor (Throttle Position System) directly interfaces with the next-generation control unit, a Kokusan CPU that optimises ignition as a function of rpm speed and engine load data. And an advance setting specially developed for this engine achieves the goal of improved smoothness and linearity of output torque.
Precious metal, lightweight metal! Magnesium clutch and oil pump covers, for maximum weight savings.
Here comes the cavalry! An exhaust pipe purpose-developed by Beta Racing for the four engine sizes makes the most of the engine’s potential, ensuring optimal performance across the whole rev range, with particular emphasis on the torque output curve, which is now fuller, smoother and more linear. The double-wall combustion chamber, designed specifically with enduro racing in mind, guarantees a rugged and effective configuration. And  finally, an ultra-lightweight oval aluminium silencer manufactured by Arrow completes the picture: muscular horsepower, with the voice to make itself heard.
Air in abundance for your engine. The new air box developed by Beta Racing improves and optimises air intake. Special gaskets also provide better protection against water ingress precisely under the most extreme and punishing conditions.  Access to the air box itself is also greatly facilitated, so that inspection and servicing has never been so easy.  All you need is an 8 mm spanner: remove the saddle, overturn the battery by releasing its retaining spring, and with just two simple actions you can quickly proceed to adjust the intake of your engine.

Chassis
Extra-light weight for unprecedented agility! In designing the chassis of the new RR Enduro 4-stroke, focus was placed on maximising weight savings, substantially to the benefit of the ease of handling and assurance expressed by the bike. The result is a single-member, double cradle frame with oval tubing, further enhanced by a high-strength all-lightweight alloy rear subframe with rectangular tubing. A classic choice, set apart from the competition by a perfectly balanced sizing of the tubing, to the further advantage of weight savings.
No seams! The single casting lightweight alloy swinging arm of the RR 4-stroke is entirely without welds, making it a one-piece component capable of withstanding any type of stress. A perfect marriage of functionality and design, the new swinging arm combines maximal rigidity and mechanical strength with exceptional weight savings at just 3.53 kg.
Glued to the ground, always! Because strength and rigidity count for nothing without efficient suspensions, a Sachs monotube gas-hydraulic shock absorber handles the task of efficiently absorbing any irregularities in the terrain with its high-performance progressive damping and 105 mm of travel. The special aluminium linkage designed by Beta affords superior road-holding and stability compared to the competition and guards against dangerous skipping behaviour during acceleration and cornering.
The specifications and attention to detail of the Sachs monotube shocks testify to the high quality level of this essential component. Chrome plated, ground and polished piston rod. Piston rod guide seal optimised for reduced friction and long operating life. Piston rod guide assembly in optimal-hardness aluminium for withstanding the strongest side loads. Teflon coated guide cylinder to minimise friction. Piston valves for precision control of oil flows during both the compression and rebound stages, with the possibility of implementing linear or decreasing characteristics. Supply chamber with special oil for minimising friction. Sliding disk, with special seals that move along the inner cylinder wall to ensure tight separation of oil and gas. Gas chamber for compensating the changes in volume caused by movements of the piston rod and thermal expansion of the oil. Rebound stage adjustment to optimise the rate and intensity of damping force. Compression stage adjustment to achieve a correct damping effect even at high speeds. And finally, an adjustable spring preload with three position adjustments allows each rider to find his personal setting.
A Ø 45 mm Marzocchi Shiver upside-down suspension fork provides for damping and road-holding of the front end, with specifications of the highest order: spring and hydraulic cartridge damping, supporting tube in high-tensile alloy steel with chrome plating and surface hardening treatment (TiN), 300 mm of travel, weight of left and right legs, 4,413 and 4,245 g respectively. The assembly is completed by fork compression and rebound adjusters (24 settings).
An ultra-lightweight Magura SX aluminium handlebar affords the ultimate in control. Oversized tubing at the points subject to greatest stress guarantees strength and reliability over time. Stable and lightweight, it significantly lessens driver fatigue and provides a high degree of comfort, further enhanced by the 22 mm position adjustment range. Two holes with 15 mm spacing on the upper fork plate and holes on the handlebar support offset by 3.5 mm effectively provide a choice of 4 different positions.
DID light alloy rims with 21” diameter at the front, 18” at the back, further enhanced by special spokes with a machined central section (Ø 4 - 3.5 - 4 mm) for reduced weight and increased flexibility, with a resultant improved resistance against breakage.
The front hub has a big diameter (Ø 30 mm) to assure the highest stiffness level. 
Chain tension adjuster complete with reference notches on the swinging arm. Adjusting the chain has never been so quick, easy and accurate.
If you’ve ever tried flying along a steep, stony track on full throttle, you’ll know that nothing beats having a secure foothold. Rugged and reliable footrests in precision-cast chrome-molybdenum steel guarantee a matchless grip on even the most irregular terrain. A welcome certainty for your feet!
Anybody can just stop, but few can really brake. The brakes of the new RR fear no rivals. Always ready for action, they have already set a new standard. Nissin floating calipers on both ends with double piston at the front (Ø 27 mm) and single piston at the rear (Ø 25 mm) integrated with a Nissin pump at the front and a Brembo pump at the rear. The floating housing, i.e. not fixed to the support, means there is always optimal contact with the braking track. Sintered brake liners by Nissin at both front and rear provide an ideal trade-off between modulation, braking power and long life. The best components on the market for exceptional stopping-distance performance, coupled with a modulating ability that is beyond compare. Operating the lever or brake pedal imparts an unprecedented feeling of confidence and control. The brakes appear to come alive, so that the slightest movement of your hand or boot translates into a direct sensation of how much your bike is slowing down.
The break and clutch controls are adjustable over the full travel distance, with an additional adjuster for varying the distance of the brake lever.
Optimised brakes. The choice of Braking brake discs—not exactly stock components on standard issue enduro bikes— further enhances the already excellent braking system of the Beta RR, delivering benefits which top-level racing has long embraced. The many advantages include:
More uniform wear of the pads with extra pad cleaning ability under even the harshest conditions of use (water, mud, sand...). The relative elasticity of the brake pad enables it to expand between the waves of the disc, bringing it into contact not just with the smooth braking track surface, but also with the sharp edges of the waves, with the effect of “scraping” away impurities.
For those who always wait until the last minute: The shape of the wave disc tells the whole story. Its wavy profile means that the braking track only partially covers the overall liner footprint. The result is a variability in pressure distribution and hence in friction intensity and braking efficiency. In practical terms,  the same amount of brake pad grip is distributed over a smaller surface, thereby increasing the contact pressure between the pad and braking track, so that responsiveness is consequently improved. In short, if you like to brake at the last minute, these are the discs for you!
Smoothness and control, a fail-safe recipe. The variable braking track height produces a braking torque (mathematical product of pad friction and disc radius) that is variable, rather than fixed as in traditional discs. It is higher in the disc crests and lower in the hollows, so that when the locking point is reached, the alternation of braking torques diminishes the deceleration rate, slowing the transfer of weight to the front end and prolonging the braking action by just enough to give you a feel for what is happening.
And of course, appearances also matter. The novel and eye-catching design of the wave discs gives the RR Enduro a more aggressive, racing look. It won’t take any seconds off your time, but will still prompt a few double-takes from your rivals!
Brake pedal in lightweight alloy casting, with a design exclusive to Beta that incorporates slots for reducing the weight whilst retaining the requisite ruggedness and strength.
Lightweight alloy handlebar clamps, contoured and lightened where it counts, for lower weight and optimal mechanical strength, coupled with a sophisticated aesthetic effect.
Multifunction digital instrument panel with large backlit display and excellent water ingress resistance. Instantaneous readouts of speed, number of km travelled (total, automatic trip and countdown trip), current time, stopwatch, wheel circumference setting. The instrumentation is activated only when the front wheel moves and switches to sleep-mode when the motorcycle has been motionless for 1 minute. Panel indicators for main-beam and dipped headlights, and for side direction lights.
