New features for all models
New CNC alloy footpegs: redesigned to ensure maximum control at all times and no loss of contact with the bike, the RR Race models are fitted with new machined alloy racing footpegs with steel pins which are interchangeable; these are narrower than in the past to facilitate movement of feet, but better in terms of grip.
Front brake calliper: a lighter and higher-performance Nissin calliper compared to the previous component appears on the new Race models; this helps emphasise the bike’s handling, while maintaining braking power, progressiveness and modulation.
Larger rear wheel axle: the rear wheel axle size has been increased 2mm in diameter, for a total of ø 22mm. This new axle provides greater stiffness and torsional resistance, resulting in a bike that is always precise and well steered, even in the most violent accelerations. The rear swingarm has also been updated to accommodate the new axle.
Mapping switch on the handlebars: the mapping switch button is no longer located in the traditional position behind the steering tube: it is now on the handlebars, inside the bar pad, maintaining consistency with the X-PRO models. In the case of four-stroke models both the mapping switch and the Traction Control button are in this new location which is easier to access.
Bodywork: the new superstructures recently introduced on the X-PRO have been incorporated in the RR Race with an aggressive and flashy new appearance, generating a complete restyling of the bike. The headlight mask, tank panels, sides and rear guard have been redesigned by Beta. The mask has a tapered design, while the rear guard and the tank panels are sleek and well connected, maintaining simple, tool-free access to the air filter, while retaining the push button seat removal.
On all two-stroke models, the oil injection is not included on Race models to reduce the overall weight of the bike however it can be added as an option. (available in the Factory Parts catalogue)
Engine – RR Race Four-Stroke
All four-stroke Race models receive new crankcases, derived from the engine used on the RX 450. The main benefit deriving from the use of this new component lies in the smaller size and lighter weight compared to the previous model.
Aesthetically sleeker, the new four-stroke Race MY 2025 engine now leaves more space for the exhaust passage as well, facilitating installation, removal or replacement operations.
