RUST magazine: RUST#31

RUST#31 * KTM FREERIDE E-XC – electric is the future? * SIX DAYS TO GLORY – RUST’s Tom Sagar made the podium at the ISDE, here’s how * RALLY RAID PRODUCTS – bigger than you might imagine! * ENDUROGP – RUST goes to the races KTM helped save the planet in October, by putting on a launch with no riding. So no petrol consumed. Only the bike was electric… ahh, maybe we’re missing the point? Meanwhile Tom Sagar was consuming mucho fuel and tyres at the ISDE, but given he stood on the second step of the podium it was worth the cost. Rally Raid Products used to race, but now they put their expertise into helping adventure riders create stronger bikes. And EnduroGP came to the UK for an all-new format of enduro. Pretty impressive it looked too. All this and a little bit more in Issue 31. Happy riding and reading. Jon Bentman (Editor, RUST)

KTM helped save the planet in October, by putting on a launch with no riding. So no petrol consumed. Only the bike was electric… ahh, maybe we’re missing the point? Meanwhile Tom Sagar was consuming mucho fuel and tyres at the ISDE, but given he stood on the second step of the podium it was worth the cost. Rally Raid Products used to race, but now they put their expertise into helping adventure riders create stronger bikes. And EnduroGP came to the UK for an all-new format of enduro.

All this and a little bit more in Issue 31.

Happy riding and reading.

How RRP works<br />

“We do nearly all our own R&D. We design here, develop the parts,<br />

prototype them, race them, test them around the world, and<br />

manufacture them. But we’re not working in isolation, for instance<br />

we’ve got contacts in Australia so when it’s winter here they can test<br />

our products in their summer there, and we can get a few thousand<br />

kilometres on a new product really quick whatever the time of year.<br />

“We don’t buy-in many ready finished parts, the only real exception<br />

being the shocks, as we’re in partnership with Tractive Suspension in<br />

the Netherlands, and Scotts steering dampers. And that’s it, everything<br />

else we endeavor to manufacture here in-house.
