Vehicle Information
BETA RS 400 Motorcycle - Dual-Sport (2011-2014)
The Beta RS 400, a versatile dual-sport motorcycle, was produced from 2011 to 2014, featuring a consistent 398cc single-cylinder, liquid-cooled, DOHC four-stroke engine throughout its run. This period saw significant evolution for the model. The 2011 model year marked a pivotal change, as Beta introduced its own entirely designed and manufactured engine for the RS line, moving away from KTM-sourced powerplants. This new engine brought improvements like a quieter cam chain tensioner and enhanced electric starter gear ratios. The RS line itself was new for 2011. In 2012, updates included a redesigned engine camshaft for increased horsepower and torque, along with chassis revisions for improved strength. The 2014 models were described as "ALL NEW," focusing on weight reduction, improved ergonomics, and enhanced handling. Engine updates for the 400cc specifically included a shortened primary drive, while chassis revisions featured new wheels, brakes, and updated Sachs suspension components. FAQ:
