New Cross Country Model from Beta
OutdoorHub 05.31.12
American Beta is proud to announce the release of a new mid-year 2012 450 RR Cross Country model that has been developed for the demands of a MX or WORCS/Hare Scramble racer in mind. There are many refinements and improvements compared to the RR Enduro models, particularly on the frame. Only available in 450cc version with electric starter, a light kit to turn the bike into enduro version will be available to allow more usage in off-road events.
One unique feature is every bike comes with an Electric Start AND kickstart removal kit so racers can choose to remove a starting system of their choice to save weight if desired.
The bike starts with the legendary RR models with the following items included:
- 48mm Marzocchi closed cartridge fork with MX-inspired spring rates.
- Sachs “Factory” rear shock with larger reservoir and 7mm more rear wheel travel.
- New reinforced frame providing a more rigid feel while also saving weight.
- 19″ rear wheel with MX-based tires.
- MX front number plate.
- Non-oring chain for less weight.
- Removal of all non-essential off road components including the meter as well as a simplified electrical system.
- AC generator for quicker throttle response and a quicker-reving motor.
- Accessory light kit will be available as an option.
MSRP:
450 RR Cross Country: $8999.00
