Beta RR 4T 480 Enduro
The whole range is equipped with engines that have been completely renewed, both in terms of looks and performance. The total weight has been reduced by 1kg on the 430 and 480 engines, compared with the previous 450 and 498, and by as much as 1.5kg for the 350 (derived directly from the 2014 factory model) and the 390 (which will replace the 400). The central guards have been completely redesigned, made lighter and modified internally to house a new oil-pump drive system, which is simpler and more effective thanks to elimination of a drive gear. The flywheel chamber has been redesigned in order to minimise pumping losses, and the entire shape has been reworked thanks to the introduction of ribs that stiffen the engine block. The covers, clutch and flywheel have also been modified with a view to reducing weight and, at the same time, increasing the rigidity of the parts themselves. The crankshafts have new shoulders and a new con rod, lighter and with optimised inertia, making the bike quicker to deliver power and more agile thanks to a reduction of the gyroscopic effect. More specifically, the con rods are shorter and lighter, and feature a new design. The redesign is aimed at reducing the alternating masses and the size of the engines. The 390-430-480 cc engines, in fact, have the entire combustion unit positioned lower down compared to the previous models. This means that masses are more compact and closer to the centre of gravity, significantly improving the bike’s agility. The piston is lighter and more robust, thanks to a structure derived from Formula 1 called “box-in-box”, which enables a reduction in vibrations and an increase in performance. The gudgeon pin is coated with a Diamond-Like-Carbon (DLC) treatment to minimise friction and wear. The camshafts were developed with a new profile to boost performance, especially at low speeds, and to provide greater linearity of output. On the 350 and 390 version has been adopted a complete set of titanium valves. The cylinder features a new design for the water jacket to improve the removal of heat and increase the efficiency of the whole cooling system. The head has been completely redesigned both in terms of the conduits and combustion chamber, in relation to the needs of the new engine sizes, and externally. The starter motor has been significantly improved and is more powerful and lighter compared with the previous models. The balance shaft has been completely redesigned in relation to the different balancing of the primary masses of the crankshaft unit; the result, also here, is a significant reduction in weight. The intake sleeve has been completely redesigned for the new engine sizes to guarantee better fuel supply, optimal filling of the engine and therefore a better yield, particularly at low rotation speeds. Key features:
• Die-Cast Engine cases (2.2 lbs. lighter)
