Beta has released information and specs on its updated line of off-road models for 2017, and the company has added a surprise in the form of an all-new lower-cost dual-sport machine with the panache of its larger siblings, the 2017 Beta 125 RR-S.
The RR-S combines features of the RR and RS models in one 50-state street legal machine that Beta calls “Street-Legal Off-Road.” It is designed to offer the play rider a lightweight machine with and just the right amount of power in an off-road worthy chassis with capable suspension for tackling rough trails.
Some of the Beta 125 RR-S’s features include:
• A liquid-cooled, carbureted 124.45cc stroke engine that is manufactured in Italy
• Electric start
• A six-speed transmission
• A 35.5-inch seat height to help vertically challenged riders plant their feet on the ground
• A locking gas cap and seat: both the gas cap and seat lock while using the same key
• Aluminum swingarm and wheels to reduce weight
• A cooling fan kit included to help keep engine temps cool on hot days
Beta U.S.A. has announced that the 125 RR-S will retail for $4999.
