2011 Beta 520 RR Dirt Bike Torque Specs
Shop parts for a 2011 Beta 520 RR Dirt Bike.
The 2011 Beta 520 RR refines the maximum-displacement enduro in its second year with improved fueling via EFI transition and suspension calibration updates. The large-bore single with EFI and KYB suspension delivers the most torque of any Beta enduro available in 2011. EFI transition from carbureted fueling is significant — improved fuel delivery under aggressive throttle inputs changes how the 520’s maximum torque reaches the ground. The 2011 EFI system produces cleaner starts, better response at altitude, and more consistent power across temperature ranges.
