The front suspension was a hydraulic fork with 35mm shaft while the rear was equipped with a monoshock with adjustable spring preload.

2013 Beta Ark LC
The 2013 Beta Ark LC sports a gritty, liquid-cooled, "fifty" lump, designed for busy city streets and narrow alleys.
It still retains an off-road touch, characteristic for the Tuscany House, thanks to high mudguards and off-road sides. For inner-city mobility and handling, the engineers have fitted it with a hydraulic fork, an adjustable spring preload monoshock, and tires with enhanced asphalt grip.
It is available for purchase in four stylings, Tribe, Paddock, Razor and Factory.
