American Beta is releasing the
2012 Beta Dual Sport RS model line up with a complete range being offered
for 2012 including 350, 450, and 520 versions.
The RS model range has been designed for the USA market with all three
models being 50-state street legal. These premium dual sporters include our
famous twin cam 4 stroke powerplant that incorporates a heavier flywheel for
chugging power to tackle the tough stuff while the twin cam and short stroke
allows amazing over-rev for the faster-paced conditions.
Newly added to the range for 2012 is the Beta 350 RS. A bike designed for
single track trails as well as all-around casual riding. The 350's engine
provides enough power and torque for both the casual play rider as well as
the serious dual sporter. With its titanium valves and twin-cam engine the
350 RS offers a level of performance that will exceed riders expectations.
Returning for 2012 are the popular 450 and 520 versions. All receiving the
same engine upgrades as our popular RR models. These two models have been
sold out in recent years as more riders are discovering the beauty of Beta.
BYOB (Build Your Own Beta) is back for 2012! Customers can build their own
Beta online by adding suspension settings as well as the accessories he or
she desires. Their new Beta will arrive at the closest dealership or a
