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!

But there are positives which come out of<br />
these ‘learning’ rounds too, as enduro<br />
newcomers impressed under tricky conditions,<br />
with British star Brad Freeman finishing in<br />
the top 13 overall both days, and KTM’s new<br />
recruit Daniel Sanders, with his wild riding<br />
style, taking the fight to the top riders. French<br />
former world championship motocrosser<br />
Christophe Charlier also gave his rivals a thing<br />
or two to worry about as his pace on the beach<br />
saw him place second overall on both days.<br />
