RUST magazine: Rust#14
Is SWM’s RS650R the ultimate lightweight adventure bike? Can Yamaha’s WR450F really be a woods weapon? Can Warren possibly fit one more accessory to his long termers? These pressing questions, and more, will all be answered in RUST 14 It’s a big issue, is 14, with all that plus columns from one David Knight MBE (at last!) and from our adventure riding buddy July Behl (that’s July as in the month, not Julie – he’s a bloke, okay?). Plus: a little product testing, ‘Gallery’ (our favourite two images of the fortnight) and we celebrate the end of a surprising year in the enduro world championship. Enjoy your riding – and reading!

Great to see Beta and TM come away with additions to their ‘palmares’,<br />
too (in E3 and E1 respectively). KTM and Husky (Austrian Industries Inc.) are<br />
on the face of things left empty-handed – quite an embarrassment in a year<br />
when they are showcasing their breakthrough 2017 models. Okay, they have<br />
the Women’s and Youth titles, thanks to Laia Sanz and Jack Edmondson –<br />
but (no disrespect) those are not quite trump cards when it comes to sealing<br />
sales. However, both KTM and Husky finished the season with some fair<br />
glory in Cahors. Matthias Bellino won the first day outright on his Husky<br />
FE450 and Taylor Robert took day two on his KTM 450EXC-F, while Nathan<br />
Watson ripped up the E1 class on both days. Robert and Watson were<br />
rookies this season (Watson was not known to have even ridden an enduro<br />
prior to this year) and clearly they have the capability now to reach for world<br />
titles in 2017. So no premiere-league titles this year, but looking good for the<br />
future.
