Rieju Mrt 300 Review
"A seriously capable two-stroke bargain if parts logistics don't scare you."
Used Buyer Review
The Rieju MRT 300 is a proper trials-derived enduro that punches well above its price point used. Built on a GasGas-sourced platform before Rieju went independent, these bikes are lightweight, flickable, and genuinely capable on technical terrain. The 300cc two-stroke delivers crisp, linear power that's surprisingly manageable — not the savage hit you'd expect. At used prices, typically $4,000-$6,000, you're getting a competitive machine for serious money savings. Here's the honest bit though — parts availability is the elephant in the room. Rieju's dealer network is thin in North America, and sourcing specific components can mean waiting weeks. Check that the powervalve is clean and the reeds aren't cracked before handing over cash. These bikes also demand proper two-stroke maintenance discipline; neglect shows fast. Find one with documented jetting and suspension setup and you're laughing. If you're a competent off-road rider who knows their way around a two-stroke, the MRT 300 is an absolute bargain. If you need a dealer around every corner, look elsewhere.
