Strengths:    Very strong. Great geomtry for dirt jumping, mtn cross, and dual slalom. Shock chip allows alot of geomtry adjustment for personal preferences and for different forks. Perfect when used with 4" fork.

Weaknesses:    A little heavy if intended for racing. Bottom bracket to high with the use of a 5" fork and the steep head tube angle position.

Bottom Line:   
Perfect frame for someone who is into dirt jumping and street riding but also wants to race mtn cross and dual slalom with the same bike. The frame will take a beating. It also rides single track well.

Strengths:    Where to begin? This bike is so fun! It turns exactly as the name implies. It is such a good jumper. So fun to go big on this bike. I've been to the dirt jumps, skate park, BMX track and the bike is just plain fun to ride. It is very quick handling but not sketchy or twitchy. This thing is burly and built to last.

Weaknesses:    It only comes in flat black.

Bottom Line:   
As a test rider for Mountain Bike Action Magazine I get to ride a lot of bikes, and the Turner Rail is the funnest bike I've ever ridden.
