Pistons, what to get and why.
Cast vs. Forged What’s better and why: Two-stroke Pistons Because of a cast piston’s ability to contain higher silicon content compared to forged pistons, and because two strokes have lower cylinder pressures when compared to four-strokes, cast pistons are ideal for two-stroke engines. Cast pistons are gravity cast from an aluminum alloy with up to 18% silicon content. Silicon is important because: • It decreases thermal expansion, which changes the geometry after the piston reaches operating temperature. With low thermal expansion characteristics, Cast pistons can be run at tighter tolerances compared with forged pistons. This creates better power and performance,...
Turning Race bike into Works Bike
We are extremely happy to show you some of the new products put onto our new 2020 BETA 300RR-RE. This bike was taken to the extreme, lots of extra parts were put on while we dug deep into this one for a Race PDI and PREP. The build on this bike includes these added extras. Rekluse RadiusCX Clutch, Emperor Racing Top Clamp Mounts, Enduro Engineering Hand Guard Rails, Zeta Hand Wraps with built-in turn signals, Profound Carbon Pipe Guard, CSP Shifter Toe Tip, Hammerhead Brake Pedal Tip, DRC Turn Rear Lay Flat Signals, P-Tech Radiator Guard Brace Kit and Clutch...

Install of a P-Tech Skid Plate
This morning in the shop we had the opportunity to install a new P-Tech Skid plate on a 2015 Beta 480RR. The 2015 beta came stock with an aluminum skid plate which had good coverage, but the owner of this bike seems to be more in favour of riding and wrecking his bike then he is in favour of storing and shining it. The bike came in with a small hit to the rear right frame rail which the stock plate failed to protect, you should see in one picture. The OEM plate has seen some abuse over the past...
