RUST Magazine: RUST #43
It's been a mad couple of months (and more) since the last issue as we've been working overtime on digital projects that should come to fruition very soon. But we've taken time out to get on the bikes as often as we can. And so this issue is still a 128-page cracker – not least because we've got seriously detailed ride reports on the two of the biggest stories in Adventure in 2019 – the amazing Yamaha Tenere 700 and KTM 790 Adventure R – enduro enthusiasts might like to skip the first 40 pages... Talking of enduro, one of KTM's biggest rivals – Beta – just released some of their meanest, bestest enduros yet!

7The Modes<br />
I liked the modes, as in rider modes. Standard street mode is just great<br />
on the road, works perfectly. Off-road mode is perfect for off-road, you<br />
can feel the throttle response soften immediately and for tooling along<br />
being respectful to other countryside users it’s spot on. Rally mode is for<br />
racing, the 790 really growls in this mode – it’s not the mode for green<br />
laning with nervous hikers on the trail. Traction control can also be<br />
dialed up or down, although for gentle country riding and on green lanes<br />
I wasn’t sliding at all – I’d save the flashy power sliding for somewhere<br />
more appropriate. I also quickly got used to KTM’s mode-adjusting switch<br />
block, finding it quick and easy to navigate through the various computer<br />
functions. TFT screens really have opened up the world of electronic aids<br />
and made it much easier to know exactly what aids you’re riding with.<br />
