RUST magazine: Rust#24
Assoluti D’Italia – is this the world’s best enduro championship? Fantic’s new 250 – have the Italian’s made a CRF250L-beater? Trans America Trail – is this the world’s greatest trail ride? Plus plenty of product testing, columnists and more Try as we might we’ve failed (again) to make a small magazine! And again we’ve been travelling the earth. We’ve headed into Italy to witness the start of their enduro season with round one of the Assoluti D’Italia – and what we saw there is just mind-blowing. We stayed local for a first test of Fantic’s latest trail bike, the 250E Casa – and what a surprise that wee bike is. And we end the issue in grand style, too, as it just doesn’t get any grander than the canyons of the US’s west. It’s a big issue, for sure. Enjoy the reading – and your riding!

<strong>RUST</strong> Enduro<br />
When you bear in mind that the enduro test<br />
took thirteen minutes to ride and two and a<br />
half hours to walk, it was a mammoth task<br />
undertaken with dedication to make this race<br />
work whatever the weather.<br />
On race day morning, the riders in their<br />
bright new kit and squeaky boots, were quickly<br />
surrounded by fans of all ages desperate not<br />
only for a photo or an autograph but for the<br />
opportunity to wish their heroes good luck.<br />
Children presented their favourites with<br />
drawings they’d spent hours on, and were<br />

Phillips gave them a high five. You can bet<br />
