2010 Beta 520 RR Dirt Bike Torque Specs
Shop parts for a 2010 Beta 520 RR Dirt Bike.
The 2010 Beta 520 RR represents the first year of the maximum-displacement enduro on the older pre-redesign platform. The 498cc liquid-cooled DOHC four-valve single — Beta historically designated this bore-stroke combination as the 520 — delivers exceptional torque through the steel frame with KYB suspension and carbureted fueling. This is a high-displacement enduro engineered for mature riders who need maximum pulling power in the most challenging terrain. The 520’s large bore generates the highest combustion forces in Beta’s 2010 four-stroke enduro lineup.
