2013 to 2024 / Sachs forks
Beta Standard RR suspension packages
The most common Beta Standard RR setups run from $1,245 to $2,945. Every price is the whole bike, front and rear, with springs for your weight included. Hard parts are extra if they are needed.
The 2019 to 2024 bikes have Sachs forks, and on those the Lainer Conversion is the recommended minimum over a basic revalve.
The 2013 to 2018 bikes use a more typical open chamber fork cartridge. The Lainer Conversion does not apply, but every cartridge is available for them at the same package price.

The most popular setups
These are where most Standard RR owners land, not the only choices.
- 01
Springs and valving
Fork revalve and springs / Shock revalve, spring, AMP Compression Adjuster, low friction piston band
The budget oriented option. Both ends valved and sprung for your weight, along with an AMP Compression Adjuster and a low friction piston band for the shock.
The stock compression adjuster does a very poor job of managing internal pressures and keeping the tire in contact with the ground. Those upgrades, together with valving corrections and the right springs, give you far more compliance and traction without giving up bottoming resistance on the bigger hits.
- 02
Lainer Conversion
Lainer Conversion forks with springs / Shock revalve, spring, AMP Compression Adjuster, low friction piston band
Improves the stock Sachs architecture. It blocks the holes at the top of the compression cartridge and turns both legs into a traditional open cartridge, compression on the bottom and rebound up top.
On the 2019 to 2024 bikes it is highly recommended at a minimum over a basic revalve.

Choose this
From Lainer
- Compression base valves with built in adjusters and shim stacks, which the stock Sachs fork does not have
- Rebound holders with needle and piston, plus complete mid valve assemblies for better rebound and mid stroke control
- Machined steel and aluminum rings with O-rings seal the stock cartridge holes, so oil goes through the adjusters and shims
- Fully adjustable: compression clickers at the bottom of both legs, rebound at the top
- More bottoming resistance and smoother handling
- Fits 2019 to 2024 Beta RR models with Sachs open cartridge forks
- 03
Lucky cartridge
Lucky cartridge with springs / Shock revalve, spring, AMP Compression Adjuster, low friction piston band
Completely replaces the stock fork internals. Rather than modifying the stock design to work better, it is built from the ground up as a complete replacement cartridge. Better construction, circuits and sophistication mean less compromise over a wider range of terrain and speeds.
Every cartridge installed here is valved and tailored to suit the rider. Fork springs come with the cartridge.
From MXTech
- Huck Valve with high and low speed sensitive bottoming control
- Open cartridge: rebound adjuster on top, compression at the bottom
- Lucky forks average 3 pounds lighter than stock
- 3 port mid-valve piston to improve initial feel and reaction
- Low friction: fewer sliding surfaces for more traction and feel
- 04
Raven cartridge
Raven cartridge with springs / Shock revalve, spring, AMP Compression Adjuster, low friction piston band
Essentially a closed chamber Lucky. Hare scrambles, woods and some light MX.
Every cartridge installed here is valved and tailored to suit the rider. Fork springs come with the cartridge.
From MXTech
- Lucky based 22mm closed cartridge
- Lower swept to displaced volume ratio than the Blackjack, for plusher action in the gnarliest conditions
- Large 39mm ICS spring charge with a 10mm cartridge rod to minimize friction
- Advanced mid-valve and base valve, external Huck Valve
- Shim tunable spring seat
- 05
Blackjack cartridge
Blackjack cartridge with springs / Shock revalve, spring, AMP Compression Adjuster, low friction piston band
The ideal MX cartridge. Larger internals and greater swept volume than the Raven.
Every cartridge installed here is valved and tailored to suit the rider. Fork springs come with the cartridge.
From MXTech
- 25mm closed cartridge tube for a wide range of damping
- External Huck Valve speed sensitive bottoming control
- 39mm spring charged ICS piston in a Kashima coated tank
- Shim tuned spring perch adds speed and position sensitive damping
- Compound leaf spring mid-valve with 3 bending surfaces
- The lightest full featured twin chamber fork on the market
There are no downsides in performance to going more premium. You are not robbing Peter to pay Paul. Each step up adds circuits and sophistication, which means less compromise over a wider range of terrain and speeds.
Every RR package
The shock work
Every RR package includes the same shock work: revalve, a spring for your weight, the AMP Compression Adjuster ($220) and a low friction piston band ($25). The shock work is the same whichever fork option you pick.
