2 Days, 16 Races: Beta AMA National Dual Sport Series Is Back Starting April 2018

The Beta AMA National Dual Sport Series is coming back next year from April all the way to November. Intended for off-road-oriented dual sport motorcycles, the series offers a ride through amazing single-track trails in the U.S. and the countryside’s backroads.

The long series consists of 16 two-day rides sponsored by AMA-chartered clubs and promoters such as Kenda Tires, ADV Moto, SIDI, and Seat Concepts who will be offering member deals and discounts. Meanwhile, title sponsor Beta USA will be donating a Beta motorcycle to be raffled which one lucky participant will have the chance to win at the end of 2018.

To enter, an AMA membership is required (for US$49 and SG$65), although it is possible to get a one-event pass for only US$20, which is about SG$26.

“All of us at Beta are very happy to continue for three more years with the AMA and the national dual sport series,” said Tim Pilg, President of Beta USA, about the series. He also mentioned that Beta’s RR-S dual sport models are growing in the country so it “makes perfect sense to continue to grow with the series” as well as “giving a new Beta motorcycle away to one lucky winner each year”.
