2013 Beta RR50 Motard Standard Review

2013 Beta RR50 Motard Standard

A revolution in the 50 cc: new range and real bike feeling.

It is difficult to keep calling them just “fifties”. In fact, the displacement is the same, according to Highways Codes, but all the rest underwent to a true revolution. The new Beta 50 cc has a completely renewed design, as well as technical features and finishing, which makes it closer to a motor than to a motorbike. A real cure based on hormones that of Tuscan technicians, who heavily intervened on geometry, chassis and finishing. The result is an excellent mix of manoeuvrability, stability, great feeling when driving and a gorgeous look. With a wide and diverse range, it presents a series of models suitable for any requirements and wallets. Premium and Entry Level versions join both classic versions – Enduro and Supermotard, featured by precious finishing and accurate performances. RR Enduro Factory and RR Motard Track top range have special components and top performances for those who love speed and a way to distinguish. Smart instead the Standard versions, both Enduro and Supermotard, thanks to more traditional components. They will be offered with a very interesting quality/price balance.

 

2013 Beta RR50 Motard Standard – Features

New features and benefits

– Ø 37 mm Fork

– New aluminium steering plates, of which the lower one is forged.

– Black anodised aluminium rims with spokes

– New wave brake disks (Ø 260 mm front and Ø 220 mm rear). Front plier brake opposed single piston and floating single piston opposed to the rear.

– New aluminium forged rear brake lever, with reduced weight and excellent stiffness features.

– New steel swingarm. The new design ensures great robustness features and stability when driving.

– New high-resistant steel chassis with elliptical uprights, square tubes and box structure on the steerer. The frame of the new RR Enduro 50 allowed the new bike to improve the already existing manoeuvrability and stability skills when driving.

– New exhaust system with passage on the right side.

– Steel ring gear with 50 teeth.

– Unified system with a single ignition key, steering lock and access to the tank.

– New design of the gear lever, created for aluminium moulding. Improves its activation function and accuracy.

– Black motor crankcase: a further aggressive touch to a bike, which is already “racing” in its contents.

– New design of the tank, plastic superstructures and seats. Aesthetic impact is not the only feature that improved. Handling and functionality of the bike facilitate movements on the driving seat, so you can feel all the advantages when driving.

– Modifications applied on the steerer geometry together with the pitch increase and height seat decrease allowed designers to meet the proverbial manoeuvrability of RR “fifties” with a higher stability. Today the feeling is to drive a real motor, in every aspect!

– Graphics of great impact and black driving seat.

– 3D texture stickers for an exclusive look and simplified cleaning.

– Integrated pillion handle to provide a “clean” design.

– Tank with greater capacity (6.5 l) to ensure a higher autonomy (about 180 km).
