Premium-build components are aplenty in the Pro version
tested here, but even the standard "Racing" version comes
equipped with a skid plate, X-ring chain and lithium battery.
Opt for this Pro version and you'll get nice upgrades, includ
-
ing a Renthal Fatbar handlebar with Renthal grips, Polisport
handguards, Xtrig ROCS triple clamps, red machined hubs
laced to Excel wheels and an electric fan installed. The new
Rieju MR Pro 300i certainly looks like a factory race bike.
It's going to be interesting to see how this bike handles
the highest levels of competition since it's such a big step
up from the previous models Rieju offered.
Rieju races a lot. Domestically in North America, rac

ers such as EnduroCross and hard enduro veteran Quinn
Wentzel and Rachel Gutish are flying the Rieju flag. Gutish,
when she's not winning the Women's class at the Tennes

see Knockout, is full-timing the EnduroGPs alongside other
Factory Rieju women's class contenders Mireia Badia of
Spain and Rosie Rowett of the UK. Internationally, Poland's
Dominik Olszowy, Spain's Alex Puey and the UK's Toby
Martyn keep the Rieju Factory Team competitive in Endu

roGP and SuperEnduro races. This bike
is so new that many of these riders are
just recently getting their first races on
production machines. Rieju also recently
announced that all their competitors for
this year's ISDE will be racing with the new
Rieju MR 300i injection technology.
Time will certainly tell how this bike
handles the intense heat of enduro com

petition at the highest levels. But judged
from our quick spin on this bike, we think
it has a very bright future.
