Beta USA is excited to announce the return of the RS Special Edition models—limited-production dual sports built for riders who want more performance right out of the crate. These models sold out quickly when last offered in 2024, and with another small run, they’re expected to be just as hard to get. Like every RS, they remain 50-state street legal, but the Special Edition adds Race Edition styling and premium components for a more aggressive, higher-spec dual sport package.
A standout of the RS Special Edition is the KYB suspension package, featuring a top-tier closed cartridge fork and matching KYB shock for a smoother, more controlled ride when the terrain turns rough. A revised main frame is also included, reducing flex without adding weight—sharpening handling and improving stability at speed. Combined with the equipment below, the RS Special Edition is built to stay ahead of the pack.
48mm KYB AOS closed-cartridge fork with anodized internals and friction-reducing treatments; fully adjustable compression and rebound
KYB shock (46mm body) with adjustable rebound plus high/low-speed compression for traction and consistency in demanding conditions
Quick-release front axle with red anodized lever for fast wheel changes
Reinforced handguards with two-material construction for durability and protection
Machined alloy footpegs with interchangeable steel pins for improved grip and control
ZF Sprockets rear sprocket with anodized aluminum core and steel teeth for strength and reduced weight
Dedicated race seat with non-slip cover and document pocket
Race-inspired graphics to match the performance focus
Anodized black gear lever and rear brake pedal
Red anodized caps (gearbox oil filler, engine oil filler, and oil filter cap)
Red machined chain tensioners
