Suspension
• Kayaba AOS forks with closed ø 48 mm cartridge: these new KYB spring forks
feature a closed-cartridge design and are renowned worldwide for being top-of-
the-range. Close collaboration between Beta and Kayaba has created a bespoke
product which features a new fork shoe design and a unique calibration reserved
for the RR models. Also, the presence of anodized internal components minimizes
sliding friction, whilst the customary compression and release adjusters allow
easy attainment of optimum settings at all times. Therefore, Kayaba forks ensure
excellent operation under all usage conditions, being ultra-reliable, easy to tune
and, what’s more, considerably reducing weight (0.5 kg lighter than the MY 2019).
· ZF ø 46 mm shock absorber with new calibration: this newly refined set-up lets
riders make the absolute most of the new chassis.
· Black anodized triple clamp.
Premix
In response to riders who are always looking for slashing weight, the Beta R&D
department has once again decided to dispense with the automatic mixer in order
to reduce bike weight as much as possible. RR Racing MY 2020 2-stroke machines
run on oil/gas premix, thus honing the racing pedigree of this version.
