500 RS 4-Stroke
The Beta 500 RS 4-Stroke is built for riders who want serious off-road capability without giving up the ability to connect trails and ride on the street. Its 477.5cc single-cylinder four-stroke delivers strong, usable torque throughout the powerband, giving the 500 RS the grunt to climb, crawl, and power through demanding terrain while still feeling surprisingly manageable on the trail. With fuel injection, electric start, a six-speed transmission, and on-demand traction control, the 500 RS is designed to make long days of riding easier and more enjoyable.
The chassis combines a steel double-cradle frame with 48mm Sachs open-cartridge forks and a fully adjustable Sachs rear shock, providing the suspension control needed for everything from technical trails to faster open terrain. A 21"/18" wheel setup, DOT-approved Maxxis Enduro tires, 260mm front and 240mm rear brakes, and 12.2" of ground clearance give the 500 RS the hardware to handle serious off-road riding. At 237 lbs dry with a 2.4-gallon fuel tank, it delivers an impressive balance of power, range, and agility.
The RS also comes equipped for the street, with lighting, mirrors, and a 50-state street-legal configuration, while features like the Trail Tech Voyager GPS, cooling fan, quick-access air filter, and tool-adjustable suspension add versatility for longer rides. Whether you're connecting trails, exploring backcountry roads, or attacking technical singletrack, the Beta 500 RS is a go-anywhere dual-sport built around torque, control, and real off-road performance.
