from SB Date Reviewed: September 5, 2006 Strengths: WOW!, what an amazing bike. Turner is not kidding when they say endless travel makes drops disappear, and for those rock gardens HA! don't make me laugh they are nothing when riding this machine. Its capability to flow through the techy section are easily match with how it handles in the air. I have never met a bike that can handle the way this thing does. you can come down the roughest of the rough fly right in and out of a larger jump and stick the corner effortlessly every time. I would have had a hard time up at whistler this season if it wasn't for this thing I felt like a complete different rider as soon as I got it its better when you can trust the bike and its even better when you have a great company that stands behind their product! Weaknesses: nothing you get what you pay for and more don't listen to others who complain about the cost. the only weakness is that its to good of a bike and possibly my last one, because these things last forever. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: anything at whistler Duration Product Used: Less than 1 month Purchased At: Turner Similar Products Used: Stab, V10, M3, Demo, High octane, Morewood (tried 'em all and nothing at all) Bike Setup: boxxer wc, 823 w/ hadley, e13 guide, 06 frame with remote DHX 5.0

from Watertown, CT USA Date Reviewed: November 2, 2004 Strengths: This frame takes 15 foot drops as well as it rails corners, I moved up 2 positions in my class switching to this bike. It took me a little while to figure out that this bike rides better at speed. It just seems to ride and handle better the faster you go. Stay centered on the bike, stay off the brakes at let it show you what it can do. Weaknesses: None after 1 year of racing and freeriding at Plattekill Mtn.

from Colorado Springs, Co Date Reviewed: August 23, 2004 Strengths: Corners, Jumps, Very plush, Stable at high speeds Weaknesses: Poor quality control and poor customer service. my frame came with deraileur hanger bolts that were too long and hit the cassett, the axel reducers had to be pressed into the frame, and the rear dropouts are not alighed, some other smaller stuff. I called turner about these problems and all they said was woops guess it didn't get through the final prep. Not send it back to us and we will fix it. Wen I spend this much money on a bicycle, I kind of expecte it to be done right.
