2026 Beta 480 RR Race Base

2026 Beta 480 RR Race

Beta is announcing the arrival of the new 2026 RR Race models a little early for the season. This is an early rollout compared to the traditional October launch, which usually marks the arrival of the best-performing bikes from the Tuscan company, reflecting its constant commitment to innovation and attention to detail, to offer increasingly advanced and performance-based models to riders of all abilities. RR Race models represent the race versions of Beta's Enduro models, characterized by a series of modifications to the engine, suspension, frame, and equipment, making the bikes ideal for giving their best performance on the track - always in the sign of RideAbility.

Take a look at all the new features and characteristics that set the 2026 models apart. All 4-stroke engines received new maps with respect to the previous Model Year, to improve their delivery along the entire range. Whatever the displacement, Beta engineers optimized their linearity and usability of the propellers to better manage the power available. This constant improvement of the mapping enhances the bike’s performance from the bottom to the top end. All of the Race models receive a new rear brake hose routing system.

Features may include:

• 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.

• Kayaba (KYB) 46mm Shock

the KYB Monoshock 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.

• 48 mm KYB AOS closed 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.

• Gearbox

All 4-stroke engines received new maps to improve their delivery along the entire range. This constant improvement of the mapping enhances the bike's performance from the bottom to the top end

• Machine Alloy Footpegs

to ensure maximum control at all times and no loss of contact with the bike, the footpegs have interchangeable steel pins; these are narrower than in the past to facilitate movement of feet, but better in terms of grip.
