(January 25, 2021) – Rieju USA is proud to announce the signing of Quinn Wentzel from Ohio to ride and compete on the new MR300 Racing and MR300 Pro for 2021.
“We’re excited to be signing Quinn to represent Rieju at events all across the U.S.,” said Mark Berg from Rieju USA. “Quinn is one of the best riders in the nation when it comes to hard off-road and will show the U.S. what the MR300 Racing and Pro models can accomplish this season.”
Rieju USA and Quinn will focus efforts this year on the select AMA Extreme Races and the SEER race series with Quinn leading the charge. The MR Series from Rieju is already a proven race machine from its previous incarnation as the EC300 and will be a great weapon to compete in hard off-road for pros and amateurs alike.
About Quinn Wentzel
Wentzel started riding motocross at the age of 4 as a sponsored Cobra Motorcycle team member. He rode nationally, qualifying for Loretta Lynn’s AMA National at age 7, and competed in hare scrambles for cross training. At age 12, he transitioned to off-road full time by riding the GNCC circuit, and at 15 he also started riding the National Trials Circuit and Extreme Enduro where his focus still remains as he continues to excel towards the top of the sport here in the U.S.
“I am super excited to represent Rieju in 2021 and help the brand grow here is the U.S.!” Quinn said. “Hard enduro is one of the toughest motorcycle disciplines, if not the toughest, and for that you need a tough machine. The Rieju MR300 checks all the boxes to be a winning bike in hard enduro. I’m looking forward to a great year with the team and thank them for this opportunity.”
“We’re looking forward to getting back to racing here after a difficult few years with Covid-19 and the GasGas transitional turmoil,” Berg said. “Let us get back to competition for 2021! We couldn’t have made this a possibility without the loyalty from our dealer network and especially the sponsors that immediately said Yes!”
