For a lot of us motorcyclists, our first taste of the two-wheeled world was off-road. Be it on a mountain bike, a kids’ dirt bike, or even a full-sized dual-sport, there’s no denying that hitting the trails is an excellent way to learn the ropes on two wheels, and surely, first-time riders of all ages could benefit from some good off-road experience.
Over in Europe, Spanish motorbike and moped specialist Rieju has refreshed its entry-level enduro lineup in the form of the MR Pro 125. This bike may look like a burly, trail-ready dual-sport, and indeed it is, however, it’s designed to cater to beginner riders thanks to its approachable performance. It’s powered by a Minarelli four-stroke engine, this time featuring liquid-cooling for extra longevity and reliability. With a bore and stroke of 52 millimeters and 58.7 millimeters respectively, the motor is approachable, while pumping out decent amounts of power and torque. Power is sent to the rear wheel via a six-speed manual transmission.
