We are thrilled to announce that Motomondo UK will be supporting some riders in the 2022 season of the British Hard Enduro Championships/ British Enduro and some World Championships including Red bull Romainiacs, Erzberg and Sea to Sky.
Since the buyout of the Gas Gas factory in 2020 with KTM taking the name and the Trials bike, and Rieju taking the Enduro bike, it was not going to be long before we saw this iconic bike back on the podiums at various Hard Enduros and Sprint races around the country and around the World. Well now is the time when we will see more in the UK and Ireland due to the sponsorship deals with the UK importer Motomondo and various dealers who are helping with the push. Since the bike is still running a carb, it is still the favourite for a number of riders, especially a Ex World Champion here and there. It always was a fantastic bike, and now certain parts like the starter and kickstart have been dramatically changed and been updated with a few other mods for the bike along the way, making this bike one of the best spec’d bikes on the market.
The bike is already in some selected dealers and with other dealers taking stock in the next few weeks means that we will have a steady dealer network within a fairly easy drive for most people.
We will have some try out days planned around the country in the next few weeks and months for riders to try for themselves how good the bike is.
So for the sponsorship we have partnered with some dealers with other dealers following suit, who will be prepping the bike and looking after the rider before, during and after each round. The Rieju factory will also be offering support at the World rounds for these riders and they will also be helping at the Red Bull Romainiacs, Erzeberg and Sea to Sky with other sponsored Rieju riders from around the World.
Motomondo are also pleased to be partnering with Mick Extance Experience in Wales where there is 1500 acres of Enduro terrain. Mick Extance will have the latest 2022 machines available for anyone who wants to come and try the bike, try Enduro for the first time or even if they just want to get a little bit of practice and teaching from Mick and his team.
