The work of Betas design engineers, testers and the entire Research & Development team has intensified recently, you only need to look at the enormous advances made by the engine team, which has introduced a completely new power unit to the four-stroke range, and the chassis team, with a frame that boasts completely redesigned geometry and rigidity.
As to the look of the new range, Beta designers have been busy as the tailpiece, seat and many other details are all brand-new. The new range is available form the end of July
