RUST magazine: Rust#11
RUST magazine: KTM 2017 EXCs – world launch! EnduroGP – change is good, right? Roczen’s demolition job. There can only be the one lead story this issue – the 2017 KTM EXCs. They’re all new, or 90% new as KTM are keen to correct us. Nonetheless, new frames, new engines (both four-stroke and two-stroke) means there’s so much to investigate. So much we sent two riders to the launch and had a third man supporting them in the office chasing the tech. Big stuff – and a must read. With round three of the EnduroGP kicking off in Greece this weekend we’ve had our world championship correspondent Georgia Wells apply a thorough analysis to the changes in the series, seeing what’s working what isn’t. If you’re British it’s all-good, with four young blokes all kicking around the podiums, even taking outright wins… And finally, after such seriousness, Gary Freeman remembers a time when Ken Roczen was a humble German kid, not a brash Floridian dude… For us enduro-nuts it’s a heavyweight issue, for sure. Enjoy!
