Good-spec 125 to get you into enduro

The MR 125 Pro is built around a high-strength steel perimeter, double-beam chassis and reinforced steel subframe, as well as the aluminium swingarm from its larger-capacity sisters in the Rieju MR range.

They boast an easy to ride bike with compact dimensions and moderate weight (although not specified in technical data), with a stable chassis set-up apeing it’s bigger siblings.

Rieju have opted for 41mm Ollé R16v adjustable inverted forks (rebound and compression) which they say allows a good range of adjustment depending on rider weight, riding style or preference.
