from LA California Date Reviewed: July 8, 2003 Strengths: I have been riding DH bikes for the past 5 years and after a bad accident I decided to quit. Then I rode a friends Turner DHR for a day realized what a great bike should feel like. Some of the best features of the Turner DHR are: great handling, very balanced feel, durable, medium weight for a DH, Low maintenance on joints and all around predictable riding responses. Since I purchased my first Turner DHR a year ago I have purchased 2 more frames. A newer DHR with more rear travel and a RFX to replace my free ride bike. Weaknesses: The product has no real weekness only the inital cost is a little high, but well worth it. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: 2 Years Price Paid: $2500.00 Purchased At: friend Similar Products Used: M1, KHS FXT, GT, Canondale, Mongoose, Giant and ect Bike Setup: easy setup...there is no surprises. The frames have great mounts for brake lines and all other accessories like chain guiudes

from SoCal Date Reviewed: July 8, 2003 Strengths: This bike has excellent handling characteristics. It is very stiff laterally. I think the new main pivot design and thru axle rear has contributed to this. The result is a bike that corners very well. It stays true to where you point it. The low center of gravity makes it agile enough to quickly lean the bike from one turn to the next. It also seems very confortable when sliding both tires feet up. The rear travel seems limitless as it sucks up a wide variety of terrian. The Romic shock allows the 8.5 inches of travel to be pedaled like a 5 or 6 inch bike. The DHR is very comfortable in the air, its a good jumper. It also handles well in high speed conditions as well as steep chutes. Weaknesses: Bottom bracket height is great for cornering but pedals will hit rocks when the suspension is compressed. Something to be aware of. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: 6 months Bike Setup: Marzocchi SuperT, Truvativ cranks, BB, bars, Sun SUV wheelset, Maxxis Slow Reezay, Hayes, XT shifter and derailleur
