RUST #25 * 2018 GAS GAS – the Spanish team is back with an all-new enduro – so,
 is it any good? * Boob – a trail ride in Portugal takes an unexpected turn! * High or low? – Chris Evans tells of his new life with a new love… * Trial and error – RUST’s efforts to restore a classic trials bike continue 
 in a bumpy fashion Welcome to our latest issue. You might notice there’s something of a redesign going on (then again, you might not), but as ever it’s all about us working hard to deliver to you the best, most entertaining package we can. That’s pretty much the story at Gas Gas in 2017, too, recreating a bike for today that’s been something of a classic in the past. Only the market place in 2017 is super-fierce, can the new Gasser cut it? You’ll have to read our report to find out. Plus we have some great supporting reads – a cool trail ride through southern Portugal; Chris Evans continues to adapt to Japanese engineering; while JB clearly struggles with the concept of engineering full-stop. It’s a pretty issue, for sure. Enjoy the reading – and your riding! Feedback is always appreciated so feel free to send us a message anytime you feel the urge… We trust you’ll enjoy it!
