Some might be fooled by the Rieju name automatically assuming it’s a budget brand from China, that is definitely not the case! Rieju is located in Spain and has been around for almost a century. The 2022 MR300 Pro might look familiar to some and no your eyes are playing tricks on you. This machine is built off the last generation Gas Gas 300 two-stroke platform right before Gas Gas was purchased by the Pierer Mobility Group. Rieju will also have 2022 MR200 Ranger, MR300 Ranger, MR200 Racing, MR250 Racing, MR300 Racing, MR250 Pro models available in the USA. For more information on the complete line of 2022 Rieju line go to www.rieju-usa.com .

After 3 tpi's I bought the 2022 mr300 pro and hands down the best bike I've owned 👌 literally blew me away! Stable is an understatement.

Hi, loved your comment. I'm coming up to replacing my 2020 ktm. I can't complain about my ktm. I do 160h a year on it and I've not had one problem. I was going to replace it with another ktm but I seen a few rieju 300s at my local dealer and I think I'm going to go for it.

@user-se7vt5ow4e 2 года назад

I live in Spain and the Rieju 300 is definitely going to be my next bike. For 7900€ you can’t beat it. Great bike with high quality components at a great price plus a kick start, KYB suspension and an FMF pipe. What’s not to like.

I think Rieju is also very smart to fill the 200cc market.

I couldn't be happier for buying my 2021 MR300 Racing. I race desert scrambles in Southern California most specifically, but I do some GP's too and did my first Sprint Enduro a couple of weeks back. I'm winning most everything I enter on this bike. The suspension is top notch. It's not the fastest, but when geared correctly it will pull with the best of them. If you're on the fence, don't hesitate. The price is right and the bike is everything you'd want in a 300 2T

Bought a 2021 MR 300 racing. I was looking for a Beta 300 RR race edition. The shop was sold out when I got there. The owner sold me on the Rieju. Can't beat the KYB. I race the AMA D38 Desert Series in San Diego. I'm killing it on the Rieju. Once I got the suspension sprung and valved to my weight, I haven't lost a race this season. It's not the fastest, but its 80% Indian and 20% horse in most cases anyway. Just geared it for the wide open stuff. You have to wring it out in 6th gear a lot of the time. I love my Rieju!

Very happy to see another 2stroke option on offer.... Hey Japan!! What's going on? I'm guessing these bikes don't have a balancer shaft in the motor yet. I suspect that would be thing I miss the most. I didn't think it mattered until I rode a bike with a balancer for an extended time.

@vintagetintrader1062 Год назад

Someone needs to redevelop the 2 stroke for motorbikes , make a rear facing exhaust to move the expansion chamber out of the way of front and side hits. Or use technology developed by Orbital in Australia in the late 90s design (direct injection that really does away with the need to exhaust tune) and you will have one great motorcycle engine.
