We consider a multicomponent model of self-propelled particles with Kuramoto-type alignment interactions. Starting from the N-particle Fokker-Planck equation we observe that the usual factorization Ansatz of the probability density, often called Molecular Chaos approximation, predicts a relaxation behavior which qualitatively disagrees with agent-based simulations. Therefore, we develop a kinetic theory which takes the time-evolution of the two-particle correlation function explicitly into account, i.e. goes beyond the mean-field approximation. We show that this theory predicts the relaxation behavior of the system as well as the order-disorder transition with high precision in certain parameter ranges. In particular, the dependence of the transition threshold on the particle speed is predicted correctly.
