Description
The Excel Takasago aluminum alloy rim is the benchmark in off-road racing rim technology. Every Excel MX rim is engineered and designed to perform in extreme hostile environments where other rims routinely fail. In fact, Excel has won more Motocross and off-road championships - worldwide - than all competitors combined! Part of the secret is in our exclusive 7000 series aluminum alloy which has a 50% higher yield strength than our competitor's 6 series aluminum. Also, exclusive know- how in extrusion design, complex multi-step forming, advanced robotics welding, and in hard anodizing such a tough and complex material is key to Excel's strength and world market dominance. They are the choice of all Factory Works and Privateer Teams worldwide and the choice of OEM builders such as Honda, Kawasaki, KTM, Suzuki and Yamaha.
FEATURES
- Anodized aluminum construction
- Available in many anodized colours as listed

Vehicle Information
BETA RS 525 Motorcycle - Dual-Sport (2008-2010)
The Beta RS 525, offered from 2008 to 2010, is a dual-sport motorcycle designed for serious off-road and on-road enthusiasts. It features a single-cylinder, four-stroke 510cc engine with a 6-speed wide-ratio transmission, hydraulic clutch, and an electric starter with kick-start backup. These models were initially built exclusively for the USA market, being 50-state approved for on-road use. During this period, the RS 525 was available as a dual-sport model and a Supermoto version (sometimes referred to as RM 525 in 2008), with the Supermoto typically featuring 17-inch wheels and handguards. In 2009, aesthetic updates included new white plastic and softer seat foam. A significant change occurred in 2010 with the transition to Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) for both RS and RS Supermoto models, which fundamentally improved corner exit power delivery and fuel atomization compared to the carbureted 2009 models. The 2010 models also featured lower seat heights and plusher suspension. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):
