The Beta 498RR Race Edition was a single cylinder, 4-valve, 4-stroke, liquid cooled Enduro motorcycle produced by Beta in 2014.

Engine[edit | edit source]

A 99.1mm bore x 99.1mm stroke result in a displacement of just 497.0 cubic centimeters.

Drive[edit | edit source]

The bike has a 6-speed, manual transmission. Power was moderated via the wet multi-disc, manual.

Chassis[edit | edit source]

It came with a Michelin Enduro Competition 21 front tire and a Michelin Enduro Competition 18 rear tire. Stopping was achieved via 260mm floating rotor in the front and a 240mm rotor in the rear. The front suspension was a 48 mm Factory Marzocchi closed cartridge fork, SKF seals and PFP adjuster while the rear was equipped with a Sachs shock w/adjustable rebound and hi/low speed compression. The wheelbase was 58.7 inches (1491 mm) long.

2014 Beta 498RR Race Edition[edit | edit source]

The 2014 MY Beta 498RR Race Edition was designed to suit the taste of those riders who want a more "one-of-a-kind" feel on their enduro bike, but are not in the market for a factory team. Still, with gorgeous looks and some of the works features installed, the 498RR Race Edition is a looker that also delivers.

The Race Edition sports the same engine as the base 498RR, a four-stroke, liquid-cooled, 497cc, single cylinder paired to a dependable, six-speed manual transmission.

The Florentine engineers have fitted the Race Edition with features such as a 48mm Marzocchi closed cartridge fork, strong billet aluminum foot pegs and chain adjuster blocks, a black shifter and rear brake pedal plus special graphics molded into the radiator shrouds.
