Beta Motorcycles have announced all-new 50cc two-stroke Enduro models to deliver “racing attitude” to a new, post-pandemic generation – both Sport and higher-spec Racing versions are available for street and off-road.

Beta know the 50cc motorcycle market is an important one, it has fed generations of riders who’ve grown up to ride and enjoy bikes as a life passion. They also point out the latest generation of young riders have taken to two-wheels in greater numbers most recently due to the pandemic – who wants to sit on a bus or train to get to college now, right?

They are answering this new wave with new models, Enduro and Motard, which will come in standard RR plus Sport and upgraded Racing versions giving options for street and genuine off-road Beta claim.

The new RR 50s feature a new chassis, a Euro 5 compliant engine, and plastics design inspired by the bigger RR Enduro models as ridden by Steve Holcombe and Brad Freeman in the EnduroGP World Championship.

Inspired by its bigger siblings, the RR 50 Enduro “is born to face all kinds of terrain, from free-time practice to daily commuting.”
