In the 2013 MY Beta 520 RS, the Italian engineers improved the engine cam chain by introducing an increase in oil volume, therefore, reducing friction. Also, maintenance has become easier thanks to a new oil drain plug, facilitating oil changes.
The brakes have been fitted with new front and rear rotors, enhancing rider safety on the road but also improving performance off the road. The visual side has been upgraded with a new, stylish red color and a redesigned headlight and front fender support.
