Beta REV 80
Key specifications
Overview
Introducing the 2008 Beta REV 80, a remarkable entry into the world of trial motorcycles that seamlessly marries performance with agility. This model is specifically tailored for younger riders and those new to the sport, providing an ideal blend of user-friendly characteristics and professional-grade capabilities. As part of Beta's prestigious lineage, the REV 80 stands out for its lightweight design and impressive maneuverability, positioning it as a prime choice for enthusiasts looking to hone their skills in the challenging environments that trial riding presents. At the heart of the REV 80 lies a robust single-cylinder, two-stroke engine with a displacement of 79.60 cc, delivering a thrilling ride that is both responsive and exhilarating. With a compression ratio of 14.7:1 and a bore and stroke of 48.0 x 44.0 mm, this engine is designed for optimal power delivery and torque, allowing riders to tackle rugged terrains with confidence. The Dell’Orto PHBG 21 carburettor ensures smooth fuel delivery, while the AET ignition system provides reliable starting and performance. Weighing in at just 64 kg (141.1 lbs), the REV 80 offers an outstanding power-to-weight ratio, making it easy for riders to lift the front wheel and navigate obstacles with finesse. The REV 80 is not just about raw power; it’s also packed with cutting-edge technology and features that enhance the riding experience. The double wave aluminium beam frame contributes to its lightweight agility while ensuring exceptional rigidity and strength. The braking system is equally impressive, featuring single discs with 2-piston calipers both front (175 mm) and rear (150 mm), providing precise stopping power when needed. With a seat height of just 652 mm, riders can easily touch the ground, and the impressive ground clearance of 295 mm allows for confident navigation over rocks and logs. Furthermore, the compact fuel tank, with a capacity of 2.50 litres, ensures that the bike remains agile without sacrificing performance. **
