2019 Beta 480 RR Race Edition Dirt Bike Torque Specs
Shop parts for a 2019 Beta 480 RR Race Edition Dirt Bike.
The 2019 Beta 480 RR Race Edition gains improved clutch feel and ergonomic updates alongside the competition equipment. The 478cc DOHC four-valve single with EFI and six-speed gearbox delivers maximum power through the chrome-moly steel frame with race-tuned suspension. The improved clutch engagement is particularly important on the 480 — the maximum-displacement engine’s massive torque demands the most precise clutch modulation of any model. Updated clutch materials provide more consistent control under the heaviest loads any Beta enduro generates.
