The R Raymon Trailray E 8.0* is aimed at enduro beginners and comfort-conscious touring bikers. They get a good-natured, smooth-running, affordable long-travel bike.

A 630 battery, Yamaha's most powerful motor, the top fork model from the SR-Suntour range - and all for just € 3999? It's worth taking a closer look. 29 inches at the front, 27.5 at the rear - with its MX wheel mix, the R-Raymon Enduro is right up to date. Compared to the previous model, the suspension travel at the front has been reduced from 170 to 160 millimetres to accommodate the large front wheel. The steering angle of the Trailray is very slack at 64.5 degrees. At 474 millimetres, it also has very wide chainstays - so the bottom line is that you shouldn't be surprised that the R Raymon is on the quiet side. On the other hand, the Enduro climbs very well with these attributes, plus the powerful Yamaha engine with plenty of torque. Only the somewhat toothless Conti Trail King tyres and the ten-speed drivetrain with a large 38 t chainring slow down the uphill thrust somewhat.

Because quality journalism has a price. In return, we guarantee independence and objectivity. This applies in particular to the tests in EMTB. We don't pay for them, but the opposite is the case: we charge for them - hundreds of thousands of euros every year.

  A control panel like a Bontempi organ: three bells on the left, two on the right - a few too many for our taste.

No longer state of the art, but still common in this price range: The speed sensor is exposed on the chainstay.
