Beta has quite the industrious lot in its engineering department. The 2015 430/480 models saw a whole plethora of improvements, to include completely reworked engines and heads, lighter weight and better handling. In the competitive world of trail and race bikes, if you lift, you lose, and Beta shows no sign of easing up anytime soon.

The focus of what the folks at Beta call "Beta Rideability" and attention to customer needs keeps them moving forward.

In 2015 we saw the last of the Keihin FCR-39 mm carburetor, so if you’re one of those anti-FI folks, you’d better grab a 2015 Beta 430 RS while they last.
