2010 Beta 400 RR Dirt Bike Torque Specs
Shop parts for a 2010 Beta 400 RR Dirt Bike.
The 2010 Beta 400 RR continues the established 398cc DOHC four-valve single in the steel perimeter frame with updates to the chassis and suspension. A redesigned frame provides improved handling characteristics, and the switch to KYB suspension components replaces the previous Marzocchi fork. The 400’s generous displacement continues to provide strong mid-range torque for technical enduro riding. The chassis update introduces new engine mount locations and load paths, while the KYB fork uses different clamp bolt configurations. Riders upgrading from earlier 400 RR models should note the revised chassis hardware while maintaining the same engine torque specifications.
