2015 Beta 500RS[edit | edit source]
The Tuscany house have launched their biggest-displacement dual-sport as of yet, the 2015 MY Beta 500RS. It sports a four-stroke, liquid-cooled, 478cc, single cylinder engine with a six-speed manual transmission.
The two-wheeler is great for off-road trails, sharing its engine, frame and suspension with the successful RR models, plus it comes standard with Michelin Enduro tires that have a 90/10 off to on-road ratio. Comfort is also increased due to the handlebar pad from the Race Edition and the newly-designed, softer seat foam.
